Boarmia cariaria, sp. nov. 



Pale grayish fawn color irrorated with dark striDs and specks, a basal curved 

 black line not reaching the costal margin, a subbasal dark shade from the costa to 

 the submedian vein; the median shade outwardly curved below the costa, and 

 marked with a series of black points on each vein ; this shade is closely followed by 

 the outer line which is black and also marked with black points on each vein ; be- 

 yond the outer line an indistinct brownish shade, and a subterminal wavy white 

 line. On the secondaries the median shade and outer line are widely separated. A 

 brownish spot at the end of the cell on both wings. Underneath the wings are yel- 

 lowish white ; on the primaries a terminal black shade widest at the apex, which is 

 itself white ; the costal margin of the primaries yellowish with fine black stride. Ex- 

 panse, 38 mm. 



Habitat : Peru. 



Described from a long series showing no variations, the species is 

 closely allied to B. roccaria Obt. 



Boarmia orizabaria, sp. nov. 



Body gray. Wings white, thinly irrorated with black specks; the veins on the 

 outer half of the wings yellow ; some yellow shades at the base ; the basal line fine, 

 black ; the median shade and outer lines black, indistinct on the primaries ; on the 

 secondaries the median shade is formed of two parallel bands and more conspicuous, 

 the outer line is fine and well marked ; a yellow shade follows the outer line on both 

 wings ; the apical portion of the primaries is blackish crossed by a wavy white sub- 

 terminal line, the apex itself being gra}'. A broad subterminal black band on the 

 secondaries. A large black spot in the cells. Underneath white ; a black spot in 

 each cell ; a large black space on the apical portion of the primaries, leaving the 

 apex white. On the secondaries, a few black marks on the outer margin below the 

 apex. Expanse, 37 mm. 



Habitat : Orizaba, Mexico. 



This species is very distinct from any described form known to me. 

 I possess a $ also quite similar but in poor condition. 



Boarmia dukinfieldia, sp. nov. 



Body gray; a black transverse line on the basal segment of the abdomen. Wings 

 whitish, thickly irrorated with brownish scales, especially beyond the outer line. The 

 basal line velvety black, very conspicuous ; the median shade consisting of a fine 

 brownish line rather indistinct except on the inner margin of the secondaries. A dark 

 brown point in the cell ; the outer line black, dentate and wavy, followed on the pri- 

 maries at vein 4 by a dark shade extending towards the outer margin ; the outer line 

 followed by two brownish bands ; a subterminal whitish wavy line on the primaries, 

 the extreme margin distinctly outlined in black, the fringe white, spotted with black 

 at the end of veins. Underneath the wings are dark gray, especially along the mar- 

 gins, and are crossed by an outer line marked with dark points in the veins. Ex-
