Description

A thorax with narrow silvery median band flanked on both sides by black is diagnostic for this species complex. This species is very difficult to separate from O. tormentor and care must be taken when identifying this species pair. In O. atlanticus, the silver middorsal stripe has an equal width for its whole length and the black scaling on the head reaches the eyes. In O. tormentor the silver middorsal stripe is pinched towards the back and the black scaling on the head is separated from the eyes by a narrow line of white scales. Photos can also be added to O. atlanticus/tormentor page. (J. Emm, pers. comm.)
