lavciulcr-grey, the bauds limiting the central fascia and an 

 elongate-triangular co?tal patch before apex chestnut-brown; 

 the basal patch more reddish, aud followed by a narrow 

 band of still brighter brick- red ; the pale bands on each side 

 of central fascia very narrow, with a slender dark line down 

 each ; ouier edge of fascia protuberant on R^ and R'^, 

 indented on M- and SM- ; subterminal line undefined except 

 on the subapical patch, but followed between R^ and M^ 

 by a wedge-shaped dark mark, with its pointed end outwards; 

 a fine dark terminal line interrupted at the veins ; fringe 

 grey, the basal half darker than the apical; a dark cell- 

 spot. Hind wing with waved inner, three waved median, 

 and three submarginal lines darker grey, mostly blurred 

 except at inner margin, the submarginal ones especially so.

Reminds of a large and brightly-coloured 0. corteza 

 (Dogn.) *, with which it agrees in shape and structure, but 

 distinguished, inter alia, by the subapical patch of fore 

 wing, the otherwise pale outer area, with distinct dark 

 wedge-spot, and by the much more uniforndy coloured hind 

 wing, that of corteza being white except at inner margin 

 and termen.
