OZOLA. ByL. B. Prout. 
minor. 0. minor Moore is perhaps, according to the description, a whitish aberration of microniaria with 
the apex of the hindwing clouded with some dark irroration such as is oftener seen in extersaria and ma- 
cariata. Calcutta, the type in coll. Stattdinger. 
sinuata. 0. sinuata Warr. Only the type is known. This is very similar to some aberrations of microniaria 
in which the central area is very pale, the proximal and distal dark-clouded; it differs materially, however, 
in shape, having the distal margin of the forewing much more protuberant in the middle, more oblique behind, 
and the antemedian line is straight anteriorly. Sumba. 
basisparsa- 0. basisparsata Walk.. Rather variable, the Ac? light brown, the $$ sometimes more redbrown, 
1a - always with dark clouding in the distal area.- Best distinguished from macariata by the narrower wings, the 
forewing with a stronger angle at the 3rd radial, more cut away posteriorly; median shade of hindwing 
indistinct, or broken into spots posteriorly. Malay Peninsula, Talaut. Sunda Islands, New Guinea and its 
islands, N. Queensland. 
extersaria. 0. extersaria Walk. (3d) resembles a large basisparsata, but shows less marked sexual dimorphism 
and has not tlie darkened fringes of that species. N. India and Hainan. 
violaceu. 0. violacea Warr. (4 a) differs from basisparsata in its larger size, its violet colouring, etc. Dutch 
New Guinea. 
leptogonia. 0. leptogonia Pimps. is perhaps merely the Ceylon form of macariata. The $ may be slightly 
narrower-winged, both sexes are of a more decided brown or fleshy-brown tone, the median line of the hindwing 
is slightly more irrorated, though still much firmer than in basisparsata and extersaria. 
macariata. 0. macariata Walk. (= elongaria Snell., indefensa Warr .) (3d). Variable, the sexual dimorphism 
similar to that of basisparsata , though the $ generally shows some dark clouding behind the apex and at the 
posterior angle of forewing and at the apex of hindwing. Lines generally better expressed than in basisparsata, 
the median of the hindwing straight and firm. Distributed nearly throughout the Indo-Australian Region 
exigua. from the Malay Peninsula to the Solomons. — exigua Swinh. seems to be merely a small race from Claremont 
Island and N. Australia, perhaps on an average more whitish, at least at Port Darwin. 
0. decolorata differs from macariata in its smoother distal margins and less deeply curved postmedian 
line; the A shows a more or less strongly developed postmedian dark shade, the $ is nearer that of maca- 
decolorata. riata. — decolorata Warr., from Bali and Sambawa, is the paler form. — incompleta Warr., from Flores 
incompleta. and Dammer, has coarser dark irroration, but probably more extensive material will show that the differences 
are not racial. 
auraniiceps. 0. auranticeps Prout. A handsome species, somewhat resembling atrofasciata (3 f) but larger, the 
forewing with the apex not produced and without pale apical patch, some dark blotches in the median area. 
Head and front of thorax bright o r a n g e. Central Celebes, collected by Dr. Martin. 
atrofasciata. 0. atrofasciata Pagenst. (= marginata Warr.) (3 f). Very easy to recognize by the broad, sharply- 
defined dark distal borders, that of the forewing enclosing pale apical and mid-terminal spots. Moluccas and 
throughout New Guinea, with Dampier Island. 
fcilcipennis. o. falcipennis Moore (3 f). Apex of forewing slightly falcate. The yellow abdomen, and white wings, 
with the markings more macular, give to this species a more Abraxas -like appearance. N. India, Malay Penin¬ 
sula and Borneo. From N. India I have only seen AcL Horn the other localities only showing sexual 
or geographical difference in the increase of the black markings. 
spilotis. 0. spiSotis Meyr., from Sambawa, is smaller, apex of forewing not falcate, distal margin of hindwing 
rather more rounded, the grey markings rather less blackish; forewing with the anterior markings absorbed 
in an irregular costal stripe; posteriorly and on hindwing all the spots are detached. 
picaria. o. picaria Swinh. (3f) is another spotted, Abraxas-lWe species. The body and the cell-spots resemble 
those of falcipennis , but the apex is not falcate, the markings are mixed with brown and the double, inter¬ 
rupted subterminal band of the forewing (almost parallel with the distal margin) is distinctive. Only known 
from N. India. 
acrophaea. 0. acrophaea Meyr. and the two following are small species, of a bright gold-yellow colour, acro¬ 
phaea is distinguished by its (minutely) falcate apex and by having on the forewing a purple-brown terminal 
band, which is rather broad at the costa but narrows to a point at the tornus, Perhaps, however, merely 
an aberration of hesperias. New Hebrides.
