Diagnosis. O. pervulgatus is externally similar to O. falsaria Prout, 1912, but is much greener than the latter species, which is much more bluish. In the male genitalia, O. pervulgatus is distinct in Orothalassodes by the long dentate ventral margin of the sacculus and the blunt ampulla. The paired basal processes associated with the juxta are present. The tiny mesal, cephalic protrusion is absent in the saccus. The aedeagus has a small pointed cornutus and a blunt lateral lobe. The tergite and sternite of the male eighth segment are deeply concave, the former is much narrower, and the latter is broader, with two long lateral anterior processes. The female genitalia have a small oval lamella postvaginalis with a pair of slightly sclerotized rounded processes, and a well sclerotized margin. The ductus bursae is very long, longer than the length of the corpus bursae. The corpus bursae is rounded, and without a signum.
Distribution. China (Taiwan, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet), NE India, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines (Luzon).
