Some confusion is likely to arise around this species. Walker 

 {op. fit. viii, p. 27, n. 17) also described a species from Ceylon 

 under the name of Oncociyhalus naboides, the type of \\iiich 

 cannot now be found, and which I therefore, in consideration of 

 Walker's method of describing, propose to treat as non-existent. 

 Lethierry and Severin have included the last description in their 

 Catalogue (t. iii, p. 87), and the name can remain, but the reference 

 must be corrected. For the opportunity of seeing a specimen 

 identified as 0. jnlosvs in Signoret's collection, now in the Vienna 

 Museum, I have to thank Dr. A. Handlirsch.

 and the area of the ocelli, irregular mottlings to anterior lobe and 

 a subtriangular central fascia, a fascia to each lateral margin

 and small) to connexivum above and beneath, mottlings and two

 black ; abdomen beneath with two linear longitudinal pale fuscous
