 with a dark brown outer border ; fringe white, blackish at the base. 

 Fore wings speckled with brown towards the base of the costa ; the 

 two stripes curved exteriorly and joining the costa ; reniform mark 

 forming a deep black dot. Length of the body 3 lines ; of the wings 

 7 lines. 



This species is very nearly allied to O. obitalis, and a close in- 

 spection is required to distinguish them. The lines are more 

 clearly defined, and the spaces between them are not speckled with 

 brown ; the marginal line is narrower.
