Diagnosis. This species is similar to O. siniherbida as follows: the rami of the long male antenna and a broad dark band between the medial line and outer margin of the discal spot on the hindwing. But it can be distinguished from O. siniherbida on the following characters: the forewing postmedial line is indistinct and appears as spots on veins, but it is distinct and serrate in O. siniherbida ; greyish brown patches are absent between the postmedial and submarginal lines, and between the submarginal and terminal lines, whereas they are present in O. siniherbida ; the cleft of the eighth sternite of the male abdomen is rounded but tapered in O. siniherbida . The most distinct differences between these two species are in the male genitalia: the apex of the valva is truncated but rounded in O. siniherbida ; the dorsal margin of the sacculus is very narrow, a little broadened and with dense teeth and a spinous bar apically; the ampulla is triangular and spinous, while in O. siniherbida , it is broader and has a serrate margin, forming an anterior spur-like process. In the female genitalia: the lamella postvaginalis is broader; the signum is larger, the central teeth are distributed radially.
