CATOCALIDA. 
838. Catocala omphale, n. s. 
Primaries above rich olive-brown; the base lilacine 
erey, crossed at costa by a biangulated black line; an 
oblique curved black band enclosing a pale brown stripe, 
limiting the central belt internally ; the latter extending 
far into the disc, similar in form to that of C. jonasii 
(Hl. Typ. Lep. Het. 1., pl. xxxiil., fig. 6), but in colour- 
ing nearer to C. ella, the costal half being white internally, 
and brown varied with whitish externally, the median 
branches, radials, and longitudinal streaks on the radial 
interspaces black; lower half llacine grey; orbicular 
spot obsolete ; reniform white, with brown centre and 
black margins, and just below it a black-edged semi- 
circular white spot; a diffused oblique blackish streak 
from the apex almost to the semicircular spot* ; costal 
area immediately beyond the central belt speckled with 
white ; a submarginal series of squamose whitish hastate 
spots, bounded internally by a slender zigzag blackish 
stripe; a marginal series of black-edged pure white 
dots ; fringe speckled internally and spotted externally 
with white; secondaries purplish brown, almost black, 
* On the left side this spot is exactly like an italic D.
