exterior line at the costal margin a dark shadow to the silvery stripe. Reniform -macula margined with pale. 
Behind the exterior line 2 rows of dark dots. Costal margin dark reddish, from the cross-vein broad violettish- 
grey. Inner margin reddish as far as the silvery streak, behind the latter another silvery spot. Hindwing pinkish- 
yellow. <$ 42 nun. New Guinea: Kebea. 
11. Genus: Omiclilis Hmps. 
Palpi raised as far as the frons. Antennae of $ pectinated as far as % of their length, in the 9 plain. 
Forewing slightly angled at vein 4, vein 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 and 8 + 9 from the apex of the accessory 
cell, 10 from its costal margin. In the hindwing vein 5 above the centre of the cross-vein, 6 + 7 stalked. Nearly 
all the species in or near New Guinea. - Some of the feebly marked species may prove to be merely subordinate 
forms. The black spots which are of a more frequent occurrence will probably be variable. Type: rufotincta Hmps. 
0. rufotincta Hmps. Fore wing greyish-brown with traces of red-brown lines. Black dots at the exterior 
line near the costal margin. Ring-macula and reniform macula marked by dark borders. A black spot at vein 1 
near the base. Hindwing reddish-grey, near the anal angle a black line. This line occurs similarly in most of 
the species. $ 46 mm. Pegu. renata form. nov. (79 g). Reniform macula dark brown, ring-macula and basal 
spot absent. Interior line marked by 3 black dots. $ 45 mm. New Britain. Type in the Tring Museum. 
0. ochracea B.-Bak. Body and forewing pale ochreous. From the base to vein 4 a dark radial line. 
In the basal area black dots. The reddish-brown median line distinct, and traces of a reniform macula. Behind 
it below vein 2 a black spot. Submarginal line somewhat distinct. $ more intensely red-brown, all the markings 
more indistinct. Hindwing pale red-brown, in the $ darker. 45 mm. New Guinea. — immaculata form. nov. 
(79 f). The dark radial line and the spot below vein 2 are absent. Transverse lines somewhat more distinct. 
From the reniform macula a pale red-brown patch extends distally. $ 45 mm. New Guinea. Type in the 
British Museum. 
0. lineata B.-Bak. Similar to ochracea . Forewing pale greyish-brown with a fine reddish-brown radial 
line to the distal margin. The brown basal and median lines are traceable. Exterior line indistinct, feebly 
angled. Behind it dark dots and a notched submarginal line. Reniform macula ochreous, 2 dark spots in the 
cell. Hindwing pinkish-brown. 44 mm. New Guinea. 2000 m. 
0. griseola B.-Bak. Forewing somewhat darker than in ochracea. Hardly any marking traceable. At 
the inner margin at the base a short red-brown patch and a narrow one at the distal margin at vein 4. Hind¬ 
wing as in ochracea. 42 mm. New Guinea. 
0. plagata B.-Bak. Forewing pale ochreous grey with traces of an interior, median, and exterior line. 
Submarginal line notched, interrupted. The dark basal spot bent up to vein 2, where it ends oval, parted in 
the middle by a creamy white line. Reniform macula represented by a large round chocolate spot. Hindwing 
pale pinkish brown. $ 48 mm. New Guinea. 
0. strigata B.-Bak. Forewing pale pinkish-brown, with a dark basal, median, and exterior line, all of 
them distally edged with pale. Submarginal line interrupted near the inner margin. Reniform macula reddish- 
yellow. Hindwing pinkish-brown. It may be the of plagata. $ 44 mm. New Guinea. 
0. rufofasciata B.-Bak. (79 g). Thorax red-brown, abdomen brown. Forewing greyish-white with a 
red-brown median band being narrowly continued at the inner margin to the base. At the costal margin a spot 
before the median band and two spots behind it. Hindwing dark cinnamon-brown, at the anal angle lighter 
with 3 black dots. $ on the forewing lavender-grey, hindwing lighter. 38—44 mm. New Guinea. 
0. hadromeres Trnr. (79 g). Pale red-brown, with some subbasal black dots, behind them traces of 2 
dark lines. Exterior line behind the cell strongly excurved, similar as the margin of the band in rufofasciata. 
Behind it 2 black dentate lines. Abdomen and hindwing somewhat paler. $ 35 mm. Queensland. Although 
my only specimen does not quite agree with the original description, it probably belongs to this species, as 
there will not be many similar species in Queensland. 
0. erythra B.-Bak. Forewing cinnamon-red, inside dusted with greyish-brown. Traces of a dentate 
median line. The exterior dark line is curved as in hadromeres. Close behind it 2 parallel lines, distally light- 
edged. Marginal area darker. Hindwing pale brown. B 13 mm. New Guinea. 
0. plagiosa J. <£■ T. (79 g). Forewing pale cinnamon brown with darker brown lines. Traces of a basal 
and an interior line. Behind the light cross-vein a straight sharp line. Exterior line double, at the inner margin 
irregular, with a black spot on a lighter ground. Submarginal line slightly undulate. The dark radial line is 
stronger than the other lines. Hindwing pale red-brown. $ 42 mm. New Guinea. 
0. transversa B.-Bak. Forewing cinnamon-brown. Traces of a dark angular basal line and a straight 
median line. At the cross-vein an ochreous streak and a broad straight dark exterior line, distally light-edged. 
Radial line absent. Submarginal line dentate. Hindwing paler. $ 50 mm. New Guinea.
