Diagnosis. The external characters of this species are similar to those of O. albosignaria , but the pale green transverse lines, and indistinct terminal band on the underside of the hindwing are diagnostic. In the male genitalia ( Sato 1992): the sclerotized dorsal margin of the sacculus is broader, and curved terminally, whereas it is narrower, almost straight terminally in O. albosignaria ; the teeth on the margin of the sacculus are stouter than O. albosignaria .

Distribution. China (Tibet).
