Diagnosis. The wing patterns of this species are similar to those of O. albosignaria in greyish white wing colour and a broad greyish band between the submarginal line and the outer margin, which is interrupted between M3 and CuA1, but the wings of O. subpicaria are distinct due to the brown transverse lines and more indistinct discal spots (Leech 1897).

Distribution. China (Hubei, Sichuan).
