356 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 101.". 



median shade weaker, starting midway between the lines, strongly excurved, fmm 

 K- slender, parallel with (and near) the postmedian, the intervening space from M- 

 to hindmargin infnscated ; snbterminal only expressed by a white spot between W 

 and W and narrowly crossing the former, accompanied proximally and anteriorly 

 by some dark shading ; terminal line black, somewhat interrnpted, strongly 

 thickened (anteriorly forming definite black dots) between the veins ; fringe 

 somewhat irrorated or chequered, especially in distal part, and traversed by a dark 



dividing-line. Hitidwiny with termen rather strongly creuulate ; median shade 



thick, nearly straight, continuing the median and jiostmedian of forewing ; post- 

 median starting midway between this and apex and rnnning almost parallel with 

 termen ; the white subterminal spot obsolete. 



Underside strongly irrorated, costal margin of forewing alternately pale and 

 dark ; all the lines reproduced, though mostly less sharp than above; both wings 

 with a cell-spot and with the distal area somewhat darkened, containing conspicuous 

 white spot correspondiug to that uf forewing above. 



Foot of Nienwveld Mountains, 5 miles N.W. of Beaufort West (Mrs. Butt). 



Probably near " Omphaliicha (?) " rufliuibes Warr. {^oi\ Zool. xii. 398), agreeing 

 in structure; of both the cJ is unknown. 



90. Boarmia intrusilinea sp. nov. 



c?,42 mm. Face with tolerably appressed scales; red-brown. Palpus rather 

 short and stout ; ochreous, 1st and 2nd joint marked with red-brown on outer 

 side. Vertex and antennal shaft pale ochreous ; pectinations darker, very long, 

 decreasing very suddenly from about middle, a rather long distal part nearly simple. 

 Thorax pale ochreous, with dark transverse bands anteriorly and posteriorly ; 

 abdomen pale ochreous, dorsally shaded (especially on 2nd-3rd and 6th-7tii 

 segments) with red-brown and with very narrow dark fuscous transverse marks 

 at the ends of the segments. Legs ochreous, more or less irrorated and banded 

 with fuscous; hindtibia dilated, with hair-pencil. 



Foreicing with termen scarcely crenulate ; fovea developed ; SC'-- coincident ; 

 pale ochreous brown, with irregular darker, slightly more olivaceous brown irrora- 

 tion ; lines fine, fuscescent, starting from small blackish costal spots ; antemedian 

 from one-fourth costa, strongly excurved in anterior half, then oblique inwards to 

 before one-fourth hindmargin, accompanied proximally in posterior half by a dark 

 shade; median line from middle of costa, still more strongly excurved anteriorly, 

 but here almost obsolete, incurved behind cell, slightly ontbent about submedian 

 fold ; a vague costal spot just proximally to three-fourths ; postmedian from midway 

 between this and apex, finely denticulate on veins, slightly oblique outwards, some- 

 what incurveil al)out R', forming a long shallow inward curve between R- and fold, 

 here angled, then strongly oblique to middle <if hindmargin ; a slight grey line close 

 distally and parallel to the postmedian ; subterminal line dentate, indistinct and 

 interrupted, with some slight dark shading jiroximally, a tinge of pinkish in the 

 ground-colour at the interruption behind R' ; discal mark slender, slightly elongate ; 

 an oblicjue dark line from aj)ex, crossing the postmedian and continuing in front of 

 R' to tiie median line, on which it ends slightly thickened ; a creuulate marginal 

 line, only touching the termen at the vein-ends. Ilindwing with termen crenu- 

 late ; concolorous with forewing, first line from inner margin before one-third, 

 Btraightish; discal mark slightly lunulate ; postmedian denticulate, slightly sinuous,
