Host plants. Convolvulaceae : Ipomoea batatas Lam. var. edulis Makino (Yano, 1963) .

Distribution. China (Fujian, Hainan, Taiwan); Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, India, Indonesia.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to O. concursa (Walsingham, 1891) externally, but can be distinguished from the latter by the forewing with elongate brown marking placed centrally at termen ( Figs 11–12 View Figs 11–15 ). It also resembles O. breviapex Gielis, 1989 in the male genitalia, but can be distinguished by the forewing with indistinct costal margin marking and the above brown elongate marking, and the female genitalia with antrum nearly equal to length of the apophyses posteriores ( Figs 13–15 View Figs 11–15 ).

Remarks. This species was wrongly identified as O. concursa by Yano (1963). Arenberger (1988) named this species as O. yanoi after checking all the recorded specimens of O. concursa from Yano (1963). Gielis (1990) reported the distribution of this species in Hainan for the first time, and Yano & Heppner (1992) firstly recorded its distribution in

There are variations in the female genitalia ( Figs 13–15 View Figs 11–15 ), mainly in the posterior margin of the antrum which varies from nearly straight to crescently curved, the shape of antrum, and the width of the antrum at base.
