Male. Reddish cinereous. Antennae simple. Head and fore 

 part of the thorax orange; a slender brown intermediate band. 

 Abdomen hoary, with a slight aeneous tinge. Fore wings with in- 

 distinct undulating oblique transverse blackish lines ; exterior line 

 and submarginal line more distinct, each of them bordered by 

 a hoary line, and connected with a gilded band ; the interior band 

 rests on the interior tooth, and is almost obsolete in front ; the exte- 

 rior band is interrupted in the middle and dilated towards the 

 exterior tooth ; reniform spot distinguished by its brown outline. 

 Hind wings white, with broad aeneous borders. Length of the body 

 7 lines ; of the wings 16 lines. 



This species may be distinguished from 0. emarginata by the 

 more decided angle on the exterior border of the fore wings, and by 

 the fore side of this angle, which is not oblique.
