Description.
Darkest males almost entirely black with several small light spots on face; forewings strongly infumose with transparent areas on clavus and at costal margin (
Figs. 16, 18
). In lighter males and in females upper third of face yellow, pronotum and forewings less dark (
Figs. 17, 19–20
).
Penis of typical shape, with ventral margin convex in side view (
Figs. 72–73
). Lower appendage of dorsal connective bifurcated, both branches with finely serrated ends, upper branch only slightly longer than lower one, notch between branches more or less round (
Figs. 73–74
). Style parallel-margined, with acute tip (
Figs. 75–76
).
Body length (including tegmina): ♂,
4.5–4.8 mm
; ♀,
4.2–4.8 mm
. It is notable that in this species females are the same size or are even smaller than males as also reported in
O. taibaiensis
Yang, Zhang, 2015
(
Yang & Zhang, 2015
)
.
Differs from other dark-coloured species from Russian Far-East (
O. sulphurea
,
O. nitobei
, and
O. furva
) by shape of black pattern on face. Shape of male genitalia most similar to
O. furva
, but differs by wider, rounded notch between branches of lower appendage of dorsal connective. Also, differs from
O. nitobei
and
O. furva
by host specialization.
