These two species are visually very similar and require dissection or DNA testing to be sure of the ID. Ranges of the two species may be different – BOLD shows O. deauratella in the northeast US, and O. novimundi mostly on the west coast. Both were introduced into the US – O. novimundi over a century ago, and O. deauratella more recently. (Bugguide) (Bugguide)
