Since describing the type ? of this species, I have seen a series of 12 c?(? and 

 1 ? collected by Dr. Ansorge in September 1903 at Muhumbna, between the rivers 

 Cambo and Cugho, in Angola. The (?c? possess the fovea in forewing, and the 

 antennae with vertical pectinations, as in Omji/ia/zf/'/ia, to which genus the species 

 must be transferred.

Foreiviny : deep wood-brown, suffused with black-brown ; costal edge pale 

 olive, with short black vertical striae and spots ; lines black and fine ; first from 

 one-third of costa, curved to near base of inner margin, touching outer edge of 

 fovea ; outer line from three-fourths of costa to three-fourths of inner margin, 

 shortly inbent below costa, then running outwards and forming a strong blimt 

 angle on vein 5, then as strongly incurved ; the inner margin beyond each line 

 paler brown to median vein ; a black marginal festoon ; fringe brown. 



Hindwing : paler, especially along costa ; along inner margin tinged with 

 rufous, and with the veins rufous ; the outer black line angled on submedian 

 fold as well as between 4 and 6 ; cell-spot black, angnlated ; an interrupted 

 blackish angled median shade close before the outer line and running to cell- 

 spot; this median shade is also visible in forewing on inner margin; hindmargin 

 as in forewing. 



Underside pale greyish ochreous, the liasal two-thirds of each wing coarsely 

 speckled with black ; outer line of forewing and both lines of hindwing partially 

 marked in black. 



Face, ])alpi, and vertex dark brown ; upper part of face barred with ochreous ; 

 thorax like wings, the metathorax darker ; a black ring at base of abdomen, 

 which is greased ; abdomen beneath, legs, and pectus greyish ochreous ; tarsi
