NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIV. 1917. 315 



51. Cleora semiochrea spec. nov. 



cJ, 35 mm. Palpu.s not quite half as long again as diameter of eye ; third 

 joint short, but distinct. Antenna pectinate, with longish branches, a short 

 apical part simple. Hindtibia dilated, with hair-pencil. Head and body 

 light brown, collar and underside rather more yellowish. 



Forewing with termen smooth ; SC and SC^ always from cell, the latter 

 connected by an oblique bar with SC'-' ; fovea strong ; cinnamon {in median 

 area slightly more fawn-colour), with very little irroration ; costal edge dotted 

 or strigulated in part with blackish ; lines blackish, arising from enlarged costal 

 spots just before one-third and just beyond two-thirds, weak in part between the 

 veins (espeeiall3- the antemedian befrvveen M and SM') ; antemedian slightly 

 angulated subcostally ; postmedian, after crossing SC, bent outward to R', here 

 angulated, then oblique inward and forming in addition a very gentle inward 

 curve ; cell-spot black, elongate and rather thick, almost touched distally by a 

 thick median shade which starts from costa and is right-angled at R^ but 

 becomes almost entirely obsolete behind 51 ; termen dark-spotted between the 



veins ; fringe dark-spotted opposite the veins. Hindwing with termen scarcely 



waved ; ochre-yellow, in abdominal region and along posterior part^ of distal 

 margin tinged with the fawn-colour of the forewing ; a small and weak discal 

 dot ; postmedian line distinct as a spot at abdominal margin, becoming weak 

 or very weak anteriorly. 



Both wings beneath somewhat yellowish — less bright than hindwing above. 

 Forewing strongly marked from costa to M-, namely with costal dots, antemedian 

 line, cell-spot, median shade, postmedian Une of large, partly confluent dots 

 (double from R' to M*) and some coarse median strigulation ; apical aiva (ex- 

 cept a spot at apex itself) and distal shading about the medians more rufous. 

 Hindwing with some costal strigulae, a small cell-dct and strong, punctiform 

 postmedian line. 



Phihppines : Luzon, Boguio district, 4,000 ft., April 1909, type in coll. 

 L. B. Prout. Topotype S in coll. Brit. Mus., together with a $ from Irisan, 

 Benquet Province, Luzon. 



52. Boarmia roboraria demonstrata subsp. nov. 



$, 55-58 mm. Nearest r. argiita Butl. (Prout in Seitz, Macrolep. iv. t. 21 d) 

 but less brownish, the ground-colour almost as in r. roboraria ; markings at 

 least as sharp as in stronglj'^ marked argvta. 



Forewing with cell-spot large ; median shade strong, rather uniformly 

 developed, the zigzag median line in consequence less obvious ; longitudinal 

 dark shade in front of R' strongly developed, especially against the subterminal 



line. Hindwing with cell-spot small ; median shade and the dark shade 



which accompanies the subterminal strong. ^Forewing beneath with the 



subapical dark patch sharp, reaching R'. 



Vrianatong, Tibet, 2 ocJ in coll. L. B. Prout. 



In both examples S(''+- ana.stomoses shortly with C, a phenomenon which 

 I have only observed in one example of r. arguta, out of several examined. In 

 the type-specimen the wings are a trifle broader than in r. arguta, but this is 

 not noticeable in the paratype. It is just possible that the two forms in ques-
