marks and nearly always with red terminal line. The species belong chiefly to the Malayan arid Moluccan 
subregions, but a few species reach India and one straggles into British New Guinea and some of its satellite 
islands. 
Section A. Hindwing not or scarcely bent at 3rd radial (Ornithospila). 
0. avicularia Guen. ( — pennisignata Walk.) (10 g). The only Indian species of the Section. Antennal avicularia. 
pectinations moderate, ceasing about segment 50. Side of palpus red-brown. Costa of forewing whitish. 
Fringes red. Lines crenulate. Cell-mark on forewing a colon, on hindwing angular. N. India. — insularis insularis. 
Prout, from Sumatra, is smaller, slightly deeper green, costal edge more strongly dark-dotted, fringes deeper 
brown-red, more approaching those of cincta (10 g). I have also seen this race from Borneo. 
0. bipunctata Prout, (= submonstrans Walk., in err.) (10 g). Pectinations rather long, at least reach- bipunctata. 
ing segment 50. Fringes white. Lines scarcely crenulate. Both cell-marks punctiform. Malaya, Natuna 
Islands (type), Borneo, Luzon and Celebes. 
0. submonstrans Walk. (= circumflexaria Snell.) (10 g). Pectinations about 56, long. Side of palpus submons- 
green-banded. Lines somewhat crenulate. Cellmark on forewing punctiform, on hindwing angular. Fringes trans. 
white, with reddish spots. Costa whitish, well dotted. Siam, Penang, Sumatra, Borneo (type) and Celebes. 
- moluccensis Prout. Costa less dotted, spots on fringe weak, lines rather approximated, scarcely so crenu- moluccen- 
late as in the name type. Distinguished from bipunctata by the <$ antenna and by the large, angular cell-mark sls - 
of the hindwing. Obi (type) and Batjan. 
0. odontogramma Prout (10 g). Palpus red-brown on side. Pectinations about 56, long. Cell-marks odonto- 
as in avicularia, that of hindwing strong. Costa whitish, well dotted. Fringes pinkish white. Lines strongly gramma. 
crenulate, the postmedian boldly excurved. Rather common in the Moluccas (Batjan, Obi, Buru, Ceram, 
Amboina), the type from Obi. 
0. cincta Walk. (10 g). Antenna long, with a long apical part simple; pectinations about 56, shorter cincta. 
than in avicularia. Palpus whitish, mixed with red-brown, sometimes much infuscated. Costa and fringes 
red. Cell-marks obsolescent (green). Lines not crenulate. Borneo (type), Malaya and Sumatra. 
0. succincta Prout (10 g). Antenna long, as in cincta, pectinations about 60, short. Most characters succincta. 
as in cincta, but the fringes are white, spotted with reddish, or at most (on the forewing) with the effect of a 
dark line traversing the middle. Outerside of palpus with a green streak above. Malay. Peninsula, Penang 
(type), Borneo and Luzon. 
0. psittacina Feld. (10 g). Pectinations 48—50, shortish-moderate. Side of palpus green-banded, psittacina. 
Costa whitish, tinged with pink and heavily dotted. Fringes white. Cell-marks as in submonstrans. Lines 
not crenulate. Felder’s type was from the “Moluccas” and I have seen the species from Laiwui (Obi). 
Also from Waigeu, Dutch New Guinea and rarely from British New Guinea, Goodenough and Sudest Islands. 
0. viridimargo Prout differs from all the other species in the obsolence of the red terminal line, which viridi- 
is only visible with a strong lens as a series of exceedingly fine, well separated dashes. Palpus green. Antenna margo. 
with a short apical part simple, pectinations about 56, long. Costa narrowly whitish, with green and red-brown 
dots. Fringes green. Cell-mark on forewing punctiform, on hindwing angular, irregular. Postmedian line deeply 
crenulate. Only known from Buru. 
Section B. Hindwing angled at 3rd radial (Urospila Warr.). 
0. lineata Moore (10 h). A large species, with the lines straight and yellowish, both cell-marks angular, lineata. 
a rather large spot at tail of hindwing. Sikkim. Also from the Khasis and Ceylon. 
0. esmeralda Hmps. (10 h). Also large, the lines whiter and differently placed, the fringes not red, esmeralda. 
except against a small apical patch, the cell-spot of the hindwing large, the tail slight, without a red spot. 
Described from Tenasserim. distributed from N. India to Malaya, the Andamans, Java, Sumatra and Luzon. 
42. Genus: Aporaudria Warr. 
In size, shape and coloration somewhat analogous to Sect. B of Ornithospila, but differing in several 
characters. Antenna of the $ strongly pectinate, as in the <$. Both wings with the 1st and the 3rd radial 
stalked with the adjacent veins. Hindwing rather thingly scaled near base, here differently coloured, recalling 
that of the South American genus Rhodochlora Warr. (Vol. 8, pi. 3 a). Only one species is known. 
A. specularia Guen. (10 h). Easily recognizable by the structural characters and by the very peculiar specularia.
