deeply emarginate, the genae moderately long, mandibles strongly 

 legs set with greyish bristles and setae, hind tibiae simple, spurs 

 white.

Allied to 0. clymeneis, Per., but the second segment of the latter 

 species is scrobiculate reticulate, which is not the case in 0. chibunga 

 in which the band on the third segment is not interrupted; the 

 whole thorax in 0. clymeneis is also red. From 0. eunomfa, Per., in 

 which the colouring of the thorax is similar, it is differentiated by 

 the entire pubescent white band on the third segment, and also by 

 the less cicatricose and smaller punctures of the anterior part of the 

 second segment.

3 . Black, pronotum, mesonotum, and scutellum red ; abdomen 

 with a white pubescent band interrupted in the middle on the first 

 and third segments ; tegulae red, wings fuscous but hyaline at base 

 for two-thirds of the length. Head somewhat broad on the vertex 

 with the eyes very large and very deeply emarginate, the base 

 arcuate, but the genae are distinct and the outer angles obtusely 

 rounded, the surface is very deeply foveate reticulate and villose 

 black ; antennae robust, third joint very short ; thorax nearly 

 parallel, pronotum truncate in front with the outer angles sharp, as 

 broad as the head, mesonotum convex, scutellum carinate laterally, 

 sharply spinose on each side behind, and slightly emarginate in the 

 centre, metanotum straight laterally but slightly wider at apex than 

 at base and with the hind angles very sharp, the surface is broadly 

 foveate, but broadly reticulate on the metanotum, villose greyish 

 black in the anterior and median part, villose white on the 

 metanotum, and with a fringe of long greyish white hairs on the 

 apex of the scutellum ; abdomen sessile, first segment with a bi- 

 incised longitudinal carina underneath, second segment covered 

 with cicatricose punctures without raised interstices, and becoming 

 smaller towards the apical part, the other segments very closely 

 punctate, surface clothed with black hairs above and greyish white 

 underneath ; legs bristling with white hairs, hind tibiae simple, 

 spurs black. 



Length 12 mm. ; expanse of wings 22 mm.

The livery is that of the 0. ovata, Ead. & Sich., but it is a little 

 less robust and is differentiated at once by the less angularly
