Female, Brown, brownish cinereous beneath, excepting the 

 brownish exterior part of the wings. Fore wings dark brown, with 

 a whitish reddish -tinged band, which is very slightly widened 

 towards each end, its inner side being very slightly concave, and 

 its outer side nearly straight; the dark brown space beyond is much 

 narrower hindward, and is bounded by a very undulating whitish 

 line, the latter forming a somewhat rounded angle towards the 

 tip, where there are two dark brown spots ; space from this line to 

 the exterior border cinereous-brown. Hind wings brown, with a 

 whitish discal band, and a slight hindward dark brown streak; 

 ciliae with a white streak behind the tips of the wings. Length of 

 the body 7 lines ; of the wings 18 lines. 



This species much resembles O. properans, but may be dis- 

 tinguished by the form of the whitish band, and of the whitish 

 exterior line.
