Female. Brown. Abdomen and under side brownish cine- 

 reous. Fore wings with a white middle band, which is slightly 

 speckled with brown and somewhat dilated in front and behind, 

 being slightly concave on each side ; the brown space beyond this 

 is limited by a white line, is much narrower hindward, and forms a 

 much rounded angle before its middle, and has a brownish cinereous 

 space between it and the exterior border ; a row of black marginal 

 points. Hind wings with a white band and with white ciliae. 

 Length of the body 7 lines; of the wings 18 lines. 



This species may be distinguished from O. properans by the 

 white band, which is less dilated in front, and by the different out- 

 line of the exterior brown part, which forms two very obtuse angles, 

 and is not undulating hindward.
