82 LKPIDOPTEIiA INDICA. 



Imago. — Forc?;-i;/f/ triangular ; costa arclied, apex obtusely pointed ; first sub- 

 costal branch emitted at about one-third and second at nearly one-fiftli before end 

 of the cell, third from its end and terminating at the apex, fifth at one-fifth from 

 below the fourth ; cell extending three-fifths of the wing, broad ; discocellulars 

 slightly concave, radial from their angle; median veins at equal width apart; 

 snbmedian curved near the base. Hindwing short, sub ti'iangular ; costa slightly 

 arched, exterior margin convex, scalloj^ed ; cell narrow ; costal vein much arched ; 

 first subcostal at three-fifths before end of the cell, second slightly concave at the 

 base ; upper discocellular very oblique, lower bent inward, radial from their angle ; 

 middle median branch p.t one-fourth, lower at more than oue-half before end of the 

 cell ; submedian nearly straight. Bodij moderately stout ; antenase short, and with 

 a short club. Sexes similar. 



Larva. — Thick ; with a subdorsal row of fleshy processes, and a lateral row on 

 anterior segments ; two short tentacles in front of second segment. 



Pupa. — Resembling a dead twig broken off irregularly at the upper end ; 

 elongated, truncated anteriorly, excavated in front of thorax ; abdominal segments 

 with a dorsal and lateral row of short warty-spines. 



Type. — 0. dissimilis ( = Clytia). 



Local Races. — The local races of this genus, as herein grouped, exhibit certain 

 obvious differences, and are fairly distinguishable one from the other, each race 

 being a mimic of a corresponding local species of Buploeina. 



Dimorphism. — Each race is also dimorphic in both sexes ; the dimorphic forui 

 {dissiviilis), from each restricted area, being inseparable one from the other (except 

 in flavolimhata and Commixta), and is a mimic of the Euploeine butterflies of the 

 genus Timmala.
