Note: Very similar to O. latifasciata (Moore, 1888) from which it is seperated by having medial area of hindwing brown (greyish-white in latifasciata), postmedian lines on both forewing and hindwing located more distally and closer to termen than in latifasciata, greater amount of median dark brown markings on forewing. Listed as cf., as the median hindwing markings are whitish brown, instead of dark brown in the original description.
