OijJiartis albimacula, r. sp. 



^ . Palpi fuscous, an orange spot on 1st and 2nd joints ; head and 

 thorax fuscous with orange spots ; a large white spot in the centre 

 of each tegula, and end of each patagium ; coxte and extremities of 

 spurs orange ; abdomen orange, dorsally fuscous from base to 5th 

 segment, ventrally fuscous with sub-lateral series of orange spots. 

 Fore-wings white, the veins black ; the series of orange spots placed 

 on clearly defined black bands ; a large black spot on medial area 

 from costa to median vein containing orange spot in upper half of 

 cell (sometimes in lower half also) and a smaller sj^ot on sub-median 

 fold ; a black streak along sub-median fold, a basal orange sjaot and 

 two sub-basal above and below cell ; an antemedial series of spots 

 incurved from vein 1 to below cell where it is angled, then oblique 

 to costa ; a postmedial series incurved from inner-margin to vein 3, 

 then excurved to costa ; a sub-terminal series bent outwards at vein 

 7 ; a terminal series on the veins. Hind-wings whitish heavily 

 suffused with fuscous, veins fuscous ; minute orange spots at ends 

 of veins, the amount of suffusion very variable, often almost 

 obliterating all white. 



Expanse ^ 44 mm., $ 49 mm. 



Hah. Castro, Parana. 



Very near 0. schc^efferi H-S, but differs from it in the 

 black bands on the fore- wings being darker and clearly 

 defined and in the four large white spots on the tegulse

 area crossed by numerous striae from costa to inner margin broken 

 on median vein ; discocellulars black. Veins dark brown, darkest
