Diagnosis. This species resembles O. concolor (Blackwall, 1859) but can easily distinguished by the position of a dark knob marking on epigastric region: very close to epigastric furrow in O. deserticola while far away from the furrow in O. concolor (Brescovit et al. 2019).
Description. See Saaristo (2001) and Ono (2011) for detailed description.
Distribution: Southeast Asia. Introduced to USA to Panama, Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil, Canary Is., Middle East, Japan (the Nansei Islands), Pacific Is. Also see Fig. 11 and Table 2 for details of distribution in the Nansei Islands.
