Oxymacaria brunneata is separated from Oxymacaria maculosata as below.
Oxymacaria maculosata is distinguished from S. brunneata, to which it bears great superficial resemblance, by the more oblique hindmargin of forewings, scarcely perceptibly elbowed at the end of the third median, and the more produced and acute apex. Distinguished, over and above the difference in outline of forewings, from S. maculosata by the brown costal blotches, the more angulated exterior line and the non-transparency of the white ground-colour. Also, in maculosata, the 1st blotch (closer to costa) on the FW postmedial is relatively larger as compared to that in brunneata where is it is obscure.
