Rem.:

For Lee & al. (2019, p.82) the subgenus Odontacartia, including the new species, can be divided into 2 groups based on the presence or no of a spine on the 1st segment of A1. A. nadiensis lacks a spine on this segment, second, the outer seta of the female P5 is much shorter than the terminal spine, and the length ratio of the outer seta/ terminal spine is 0.4. The male P5 is clearly distinguishable from the rest of species based on its length and the type of medial process on the exopodal segment 2 of the left leg.; furthermore, the new species shows other minor differences compared to the other 13 Odontacartia species, such as the number of dorsal spines on the urosomite, the length/width ratio of the female P5 basis, and the length/width ratio of caudal rami. To supplement the morphological evidences, molecular analysis (using partial mtCOI sequences) of six Odontacartia species showed that A. nadiensis differed by 24.1-29.0% from the sequences of congeneric species, which is greater tha the range of interspecific differences reported in previous studies.
