Description

O. sertatus exhibits sexual dimorphism, with females being larger than males. Based on the original description by Bösenberg and Strand (1906), females range from 7–11 mm in total length, while males are approximately 9 mm. The carapace is pale brownish, sometimes appearing greenish in life, with the eye region situated on a yellowish field with pale yellow hairs. Behind each of the six upper eyes is a deep black spot that is usually larger than the eyes themselves. The abdomen is yellowish-white with a broad brownish or gray-brown cardiac stripe that often extends to the spinnerets. Diagonal dark stripes extend from the sides toward the center of the abdomen. The legs are brownish-yellow with strong, long spines, particularly prominent on the tibiae and metatarsi.
