whitish scales inside, a dark brown band behind it, narrow at the costal margin, broad at the inner margin. 
An oblique white streak in the cell-end, 2 small black-white dots behind the ii])per cell-angle. Exterior line dark 
brown, edged whitish on both sides, straight, vertical. Faded dark brown behind it from the costal margin to 
vein 5. Submarginal line whitish, only traceable. Hindwing brown with a coppery gloss. $ 22 nim. Niger 
District. 
0. madanda Fldr. (= dignata MoscM.) (13 i). Eorewdng chocolate brown at the base. Interior line 
black, double, only discernible at the costal margin. The dark area is bordered by a black line which is some¬ 
what extra-angular at the lower cell-angle. The marginal area behind it whitish, the margia itself olive brown. 
Three black dots at the cross-vein. Exterior line beginning with a black spot at the costal margin, then almost 
straightly continued, olive brown. Submarginal line whitish, ending at the anal angle, broadly rusty brown 
before it, and before this black scales above the inner margin. Hindwing orange with a blackish submarginal 
band. 18—24 mm. South Africa. 
0. microcycla Mob. (13 i). Thorax reddish brown. Forewing very pale reddish brown at tire base and inicrocycla. 
as far as the exterior line at the costal margin, dark brown in the median area, rusty brown in the marginal 
area. Interior line oblique, forming the border-line of the median area. The reniform macula is a light spot. 
Exterior line fine brown, edged white on both sides, excurved behind the cell. Submarginal line liglit, a whitish 
spot behind it in the submedian fold. A dark spot at the margin behind the cell. Hindwing orange with a dark 
margin. ^ 22 mm. Madagascar. This species is probably identical with centralis Pgst., not with cryptochry- 
sea Hmps. 
0. accincta Dist. (13 i). Quite similar to a dark microcycla, but the border extends at the basal area acclnda. 
with an opposite incline. Basal area violettish-brown, median area the same, but darker, the margin red-brown. 
Interior line indistinct, double, dark, with 2 black dots at the costal margin. Border-line of the basal area straight 
slightly outwards. Reniform macula whitish, slightly edged black on both sides, darker the median area below 
it. Marginal area as in microcycla , but with a convexity of the submarginal line in the middle. Hindwing 
somewhat darker than in microcycla. 22 mm. Transvaal. 
0. variegata Le Cerf. Forewing greyish yellow at the base, the median area darker brown, straightly varkyatu. 
cut off inside. Exterior border-line distinct, white, broader yellow at the costal margin. Reniform macula 
oblique, light brown. A brownish ochreous spot behind, the exterior line at the costal margin, continued as 
a line. Antemarginal line fine wdiite. Hindwing greyish brown. $ 19 mm. East Africa. 
0. punctigera Wtr. (13 i). Body and forewing dull red-brown. Interior line light, double, almost straight, pundkjera. 
only slightly extra-angular in the submedian fold. Median line straight, slightly concave in the middle. Distally" 
to it dark red-brown, this colour also at the inner margin almost as far as the exterior line. The reniform ma- 
cida is a blackish spot edged white outside. Exterior line white, doid^le, slightlj^ obliqiie, straight. Darker be- 
hind it, especially at the costal margin. Submarginal line very fine white, notched, white marginal lunae. Hind¬ 
wing coppery brown. 18—22 mm. West and South Africa, Soiith Asia, Australia. 
0. lepida Saalm. Thorax and forewing light red-brown as far as the straight median line which is slightly Icpida. 
turned outwards, marginal area darker, median area darkest. Interior line doid^le, somew'hat darker than the 
ground, slightly undulate, obliquely outwards. Sometimes a black dot in the middle of the cell. Reniform ma¬ 
cula light, slantingly rectangular, edged black below' (Madagascar) or more narrowly above and below, laterally 
black. Exterior line whitish, pointedly projecting behind the cell, single or double. Submarginal line whitish, 
excurved in the middle of the wing. Hindwing light coppery brown. 18—24 mm. Madagascar, East Africa. 
0. comiculans Wllgr. (= nyanza Fldr., figurata Wkr.) (13 i) differs from lepida only in a light spot at comdcu- 
the costal margin behind the exterior line and in a brightening before the submarginal line. It is probably the 
same species and its name is prior to lepida. — comiculantis Strd. lacks an insignificant dark spot in the median comi- 
area above vein 1, which is present in lepida and comiculans. Besides there is a white streak in the distal area culanlis. 
below vein 5. 20—26 mm. South Africa. 
0. megaplaga Hmps. (13 i). Thorax and forewing pale red-brown, the median area from the upper inner majaplcKja. 
edge of the reniform macula to the exterior line and to the inner margin dark red-brown. Interior line as in 
cornicidans. Reniform macula greyish brown, prolonged below obliquely outwards, the dark spot below it 
somewdiat more separated from the interior line. A black radial streak from the centre of the reniform macula 
to the exterior line or beyond it. Exterior line single, light, excurved at the upper edge of the cell, then almost 
straight obliquely inwards. Submarginal line pale, indistinct, similar to comiculans. Hindwing light copper- 
brown. 20—23 mm. East Africa. 
0. sinua Hmps. (13 i). Body dark greyish-browm, forew'ing red-brown. Interior line doid)le, strongly sbma. 
notched below the costal margin and at the median vein. Median line excurved in the centre, strongly notched, 
light before it or just as dark as the space as far as the exterior line. Reniform macula edged light, circular 
with a horizontal appendage below. Exterior line black, double, filled with light, encompassing the reniform 
macula, far inwards below it, then vertical to the inner margin. Submarginal line white, strongly notched, 
with long black arrows inside. Hindwing dark orange, browner at the margin. The $ is very indistinctly mark-
