3 $ and 3 ?. — Body and wings uniformly black. Fore wings rather 

 broad; apex subrectangular, outer edge much less oblique than in O. califor- 

 niata; a single, very broad, white band extends from the middle of the costa 

 to the inner angle of the wing, where it is suddenly forked; opposite this fork 

 the fringe is white, as also on the apex. Hind wings black, with the fringe 

 white on the apex and near the inner angle. Beneath marked as above, with 

 the addition of a short, sinuous, white line within the broad band, and traces 

 of a basal line, represented by a white costal spot, and another in the sub- 

 median space. On the inner half, the hind wings are gray, with a large, 

 black, discal spot ; beyond this a black band, with a broader white band. 

 Abdomen whitish beneath. Legs whitish. 



Length of body, <?,0.40, ?, 0.31; length of fore wing, S, 0.48, ?, 0.45; 

 expanse of wings, 0.90—1.00 inch.

There seems to be no difference in size or markings between Eastern 

 and Pacific-coast examples.

This pretty species is black, with three narrow, waved, white bands cross- 

 ing the fore wings; the two basal ones connect on the inner edge of the 

 wing, where they form a circular ring, inclosing a black spot; above they are 

 equidistant, and are dentate on the median vein, the teeth advancing toward 

 each other. The outer line is very sinuate, widening much in the middle, 

 and thence sending a linear sinuate line to the inner angle of the wing.
