bent- outwards below costa, then denticulate, oblique below vein 4; subterminal line defined by the contrast 
of shades; hindwing grey suffused with fuscous; underside grey dusted with fuscous; the costal area white dust¬ 
ed with black; apical area suffused with black; a slight discoidal lunule and outer series of dark streaks on

a diffused white streak below costa to beyond middle; terminal area greyish ochreous; a diffused blackish 
streak below base of cell; inner line marked by a whitish dot on costa, and below middle by a fine black line with 
white on its inner side, strongly angled outwards in submedian fold and above inner margin, preceded in sub¬ 
median fold by a short reddish ochreous streak; orbicular stigma minute, round, reddish ochreous, with black 
clouding before and beyond it; reniform reddish ochreous defined by black, with a white mark in centre and 
brown mark in lower half, its upper and lower ends strongly produced; outer line fine, blackish, grey-edged

0. nuna Guen. (= mesombra Lower) (29 d). Forewing grey tinged with rufous, and with some brown 
dusting; a wedge-shaped blackish shade from middle of cell to subterminal line from costa to vein 3; a black 
subbasal dot on costa and median vein and red spot below cell; inner line indicated by black dots on costa,

the latter a very oblique lunule; outer line marked by black dots on costa, veins 7 to 3, and inner margin;
