Moerdijk's site description for equivariant sheaf toposes on open topological groupoids is used to give a proof for the (known, but apparently unpublished) proposition that if $H$ is a subgroupoid of an open topological groupoid $G$, then the topos of equivariant sheaves on $H$ is a subtopos of the topos of equivariant sheaves on $G$. This proposition is then applied to the study of quotient geometric theories and subtoposes. In particular, an intrinsic characterization is given of those subgroupoids that are definable by quotient theories.
