Diagnosis. For external comparisons see under O. extensa and O. eminens. In addition, the white dots near the discocellulars are more distinct in O. fuscopurpurea. The male genitalia are distinctive in the elongate valva bearing a very well developed sacculus, which has two pointed processes, one longer and the other shorter. The female genitalia have more slender ductus bursae than all other species except O. vatama, O. andrema and O. obtusa.
Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing), Japan.
