The genus Stretchia of Hy. Edwards, with the type 8. Plustiformis, is 
also synonymous. The handsomest and most striking species is Muricina,; 
while Mrythrolita has much the look of a Teniocampa, its larger ally. 
Transparens has a certain false look of Phragmatobia, from its subtranspa- 
rent rufous primaries with their faint ornamentation. The hairy eyes and 
the dorsal ridge of scales on the thorax must be observed. 
CBA. Grote (1883). 
Allied in form, texture and vestiture to Trichocosmia, between this and 
Calymnia. Byes naked, unlashed. Vestiture of narrow scales. Antenne 
simple. Front wide, rising to an embossed protuberance, around which 
the short clypeal vestiture circles ; infra-clypeal plate distinct. Ocelli. 
Labial palpi slender, rather weak, with elongate third joint. The body 
has a pale integument, the outline weak, and the vestiture is not strongly 
adherent. ibis unarmed ; legs rather short and weak, not hairy. Body 
untufted ; abdomen with dorsal carina. Wings entire, rather broad and 
short ; apices determinate and outwardly the primaries are full, One spe- 
cies with thorax and primaries very pale yellow, almost white, immacu- 
late. Hind wings pure silky white above and below, abdomen white, ex- 
pands 27 mil.

Type: O. Triangulifer Gt. 
The eyes are full, naked, unlashed. The clypeus has a central rounded 
tubercle. The vestiture consists of hair-like scales with broader ones, 
arranged like shingles, rising from the thorax, which is short and in shape 
allies the moth to this group. The fore tibie are also not truncate, but as 
long as in the preceding gener and unarmed. The parts of the thorax re- 
semble the preceding genera, but there is a divided posterior tuft. The 
patagia are not as deflected as in Plagiomimicus, but do not lie close to the 
thorax. The female ovipositor is not exserted. The abdomen is untufted. 
The labial palpi have the terminal joint concealed, ind are not unlike, 
though longer, the palpi of the genera separated here from Basilodes, bat 
unlike that genus. The antenne have the basal joint scaled. The palpi 
are rather thickly haired. The tibie are unarmed. Wings ample, without 
tooth, rounded exteriorly, with blunt apices, and running in a little and 
forming a prominent angle at internal margin. The genus seems to be 
somewhat intermediate between the preceding and Plusia. The species is 
golden-yellow with orange-brown lines disposed somewhat like the Huro- 
pean Chariclea Delphinit.
