Diagnosis.
The wing patterns of this species are similar to those of the
O. herbidaria
, but can be distinguished by the following characters: the rami of the male antenna are longer; the processes on the cleft of the eighth sternite of the male abdomen are rounded and less strongly sclerotized, whereas they are pointed in
O. herbidaria
. The most distinct differences between these two species are in the male genitalia: the lateral processes of the uncus are shorter, rounded distally, whereas they are longer, acute distally in
O. herbidaria
; the apex of the valva is relatively broader; the dorsal margin of the sacculus is very broad and densely serrate, extending to the base of the ampulla; the ampulla is broader and more longitudinally positioned, with dense teeth on dorsal margin and a large acute process on the anterior end. In the female genitalia: the lamella postvaginalis is narrower; the colliculum is shorter, with parallel sides; the central teeth of the signum are smaller.
