Ophiodes Tirrhea, var. A, Guen. Noct. iii. 229.

Greenish testaceous, luteous beneath. Abdomen luteous. Fore
wings green, with a slight testaceous tinge, and with brownish
transverse streaks ; a brownish line extending from and rejoining the
costa, and touching the interior border; exterior border broadly
fawn-colour, much indented on its interior side, and with a brown
zigzag marginal line; it includes near the costa two black glaucous-
bordered spots; reniform spot like that of O. Tirrhaa, but rather
larger and more excavated on its exterior side; costal brown spot
triangular, larger than that of O. Tirrhea. Hind wings luteous,
with a more or less broad black exterior border. Length of the
body 12 lines; of the wings 29 lines.

This species seems to be fully as distinct from O. Tirrhaa as is
O. hotientota, and may be chiefly distinguished by the much deeper
excavation of the marginal band.

in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of

therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.
