short; spurs moderately long and stout. Wings rather short and 

 broad. Fore wings slightly rounded at the tips ; costa convex ; ex- 

 terior border convex, hardly oblique ; second inferior vein nearer to 

 the first than to the third ; fourth remote from the third. 



This genus has a resemblance to Gadirtha, and to some other 

 groups of Hypogrammidce. 



Orosa tortricoides. 



Fcem. Cinerea, alee qnticce lineis duabus basalibus diffusis, litu- 

 ris tribus antemediis, linea exteriore punctulari plagaque pos- 

 tica parva nigris, linea submarginali nigricante angulosa 

 indistincta. 



Female. Cinereous, paler beneath. Fore wings with two black 

 basal diffuse lines which extend across half the breadth from the costa ;

 points, which is much curved outward, and approaches the preceding 

 line at each end, and is accompanied by a small black patch near 

 the interior border; an indistinct zigzag blackish submarginal line. 

 Length of the body 3£ lines ; of the wings 9J lines.
