Closely allied to 0. adspersa, Herr.-Sch.; larger, the primaries and body yellower; the spots on the primaries bright orange instead of black and more conspicuous. Expanse of wings 40-47 millim. 3, Zomba, December 1892 and January 1893. The genus Olapa is nearly allied to Lcelia, but may readily be distinguished from the fact that the second and third median branches of the secondaries (veins 3 and 4) are widely separated at their origins, whereas in Lcelia they are emitted close together; on the other hand, the third median and radial in Olapa are closer together than in Lcelia. 177.

The single example obtained is somewhat aberrant; but the differences from the typical form are not of such a nature that they may not be simply the result of individual variation ; I have, therefore, not felt justified in regarding it as a distinct species. |
