line oblique, somewhat convex and slightly sinuate, T.p. line geminate with an 
outward bend over reniform, below which it is tolerably straight to internal margin. 
Accompanying the t, p. line is an oblique white shade band not entirely co-incident 
with the t. p. line. Beyond this line the veins are marked with black scales. At the 
apex is a paler patch below which the terminal space is irregularly darker brown, 
and through this the indefinite paler and very irregular s. t. line is traceable; on 
either side of which are a few irregular black spots, principally beyond the line. 
Fringes deeper brown. Claviform distinct, narrow ovate, and narrowly ringed with 
black scales, above which there isa darker, more blackish shade to the ordinary 
spots. Orbicular small, oval concolorous. Reniform rather large, decidedly oblique, 
slightly constricted, with a brown central line. A broad black line through cell, in- 
terrupted by ordinary spots. Secondaries deep fuscous brown. Beneath reddish 
with brown powderings and a common outer line. Secondaries paler and with a 
distinct discal dot.—Expands, 1 inch = 26 mm. 
Habitat —F \orida. 
A single male specimen from Mr. Gref’s collection ag ess in every 
particular with Guenée’s description, and forms the type of the fore- 
going. This species I have never seen named in collections. Mr. Grote 
refers to it in the 6th Vol. of the Bulletin U. S. Geol. and Geogr Surv., 
p- 265, as follows: ‘‘I have identified evesa (from Guenée’s description 
and an outline drawing of his) collected by Mr. Schwarz in Florida.” 
Since that time I have not seen it referred to, nor do I recollect 
ever seeing it unnamed in collections. 
The genitalia are distinctive and more simple than in its allies. The 
harpes are as usual, long and narrow. ‘The clasper consists of a single, 
stout and moderately long corneous hook very slightly tapering to the 
rounded tip. 
O. fuscimacula Grt., Bull. U. S. Geol. and Geog. Surv., VI, 262, Wadena, 
ibid., 265, § Oligia. 
Head, thorax and primaries brown, with a more or less evident, smooth, bluish 
gray or olivaceous shading. On the primaries the median and terminal space are 
most evidently brown, the grayish shading usually suffusing the remainder of the 
wing. Basal half line distinct in most specimens, brown, geminate. TT. a. line gem- 
inate, included space slightly paler, preceding line faint, often obsolete, following 
line distinct, narrow, dark ; its course is outwardly oblique from costa, sometimes 
quite even, sometimes with a single outward curve, and again regularly bisinuate. 
The t. p. line is also geminate, the préceding line distinct, dark, narrow, the in- 
cluded space pale, but distinct, the outer line faint, quite usually obsolete. The line 
makes a large outward bend over reniform but is quite even below. Claviform want- 
ing. Orbicular small, punctiform, blackish, Reniform moderate in size, oblique, 
somewhat constricted, dusky. A dusky shade extends below from reniform, rather 
close to t. p. line, to the internal margin. This shade is very variably distinct in the 
specimens at hand. The outer portion of the wing becomes darker, and through the 
inner margin of this dusky shading the slightly sinuate s. t. line is visible. A row of 
terminal black dots. Fringe concolorous with terminal space. Secondaries smoky 
fuscous inyboth sexes. Beneath dull fuscous or smoky, with a common darker outer 
line. —Expands, .88—1.00 inches = 22—25 mm. 
Habitat—F lorida.
