Diagnosis.
O. hoenei
is close to
O. loochooana
, and occurs in two forms. Compared to
O. loochooana
,
O. hoenei
has the forewing apex more distinctly falcate, the forewing outer margin being more deeply concave under the apex, and more protruding medially.
O. hoenei
is also close to
O. paki
on both external (the brown form) and genital characters, and cannot be distinguished externally. In the male genitalia, the sacculus is much broader, leaflike, and bears a small spine in
O. hoenei
, while it is narrowly pointed and bears two smaller spines in
O. paki
, and is smooth and slender in
O. loochooana
. The end of the aedeagus of
O. hoenei
is ringed with spines, with a posterior digitate process, but lacks spines or a process in
O. paki
. The female genitalia of
O. hoenei
,
O. paki
and
O. loochooana
all have a large corpus bursae and a spinose signum.
