S . Closely allied to 0. adspersa, Herr.-Sch. ; larger, the pri-

 orange instead of black and more conspicuous. Expanse of wings 

 40-47 millim.

The genus Olapa is nearly allied to Lcdia, but may readily be 

 distinguished from the fact that the second and third median 

 branches of the secondaries (veins 3 and 4) are widely separated at 

 their origins, whereas in Lcelin they are emitted close together ; 

 on the other hand, the third median and radial in Olapa are closer 

 together than in Lcdia.

The single example obtained is somewhat aberrant ; but the 

 differences from the typical form are not of such a nature that 

 they may not be simply the result of individual variation ; I have, 

 therefore, not felt justified in regarding it as a distinct species.
