46 Mr. J. H. Leech's neiv species of Geometrce 



faint transverse lines ; the yellowish fascia of upper side is represented by a 

 pale band, and is followed by a dusky one ; these lines and bands are 

 continued on the secondaries, which have also a black discal spot. Expanse, 

 40 mm. 



One specimen, from the island of Kiushiu, taken by a native 

 collector. 



Var. inornafaria. — ^ . In this form the central band is less distinct, and 

 the yellowish scales and fascia are entirely absent, although the rusty brown 

 border of the latter remains, as also does the rusty brown streak along inner 

 margin of primaries. On the under surface the wings are almost unicolorous, 

 but there are indications of the typical markings. 



One specimen (coll. Pryer). 



At first sight these two specimens appear to be specifically 

 distinct, but, after a careful examination of the markings and 

 other details, I am convinced that they are only forms of one 

 species. 



BOARMIA BASIFUSCARIA, Sp. n. 



^ . Primaries pale grey-brown, with the basal third thickly sprinkled 

 with blackish, limited by a black ziczac line and divided by another black 

 line ; beyond the middle of the wing is a serrated blackish transverse line 

 outwardly edged with whitish ; outer marginal area thickly sprinkled with 

 blackish brown ; submarginal line of the gi-ound colour, bordered internally 

 with blackish. Secondaries grey-brown, sprinkled with blackish scales ; 

 discal spot and indistinct central line black ; submarginal line pale, also 

 indistinct ; a wavy black line before the grey-brown fringes. Under surface 

 pale grey-brown, clouded with blackish on the apical third and above inner 

 angle of primaries ; all the wings have a black discal spot, but that on 

 secondaries is very minute ; central lines not well-defined. Expanse, 44 mm. 



Two male specimens. One was in Fryer's collection, and the 

 other I took at Oiwake in October. 



BOAEMIA APPOSITARIA, Sp. n. 



(J . Pale brown : primaries have a small black discal spot and two dark 

 transverse lines — the first is curved, and the second (edged externally with 

 whitish) is oblique, but elbowed and slightly angulated near the costa ; 

 between these lines is a nearly straight central shade, the lower end of which 

 meets the second line on inner margin ; submarginal line wavy, whitish, 

 bordered internally with fuscous. Secondaries have a black discal spot, a 

 curved and wavy dark central line edged outwardly with whitish ; between 

 this hne and the base of the wing is a brown transverse shade ; submarginal 

 line as on primaries. Under surface pale whity-brown ; primaries suffused 

 with fuscous, outer third fuscous, with a patch of whity brown at the apex 

 and another about the middle ; secondaries dusted with fuscous ; discal spots 

 and transverse lines on all the wings as above. Antennse pale brown, with 

 blackish pectination. Expanse, 36 mm. 



One specimen captured by my native collector at Gensan, in 

 July. 



Closely allied to B. bilttneri, Hedem., but is smaller, and 

 differs from that species in colour, in the form of transverse 

 lines on primaries above, and in the colour of under surface, 

 especially as regards the ornamentation of outer third of
