primaries. The antennae of the two species are very different in 

 coloration, 



BOARMIA SINUOSARIA, Sp. n. 

 c? . Pale grey-brown, with a faint violet tinge : the primaries are tra- 

 versed by two black lines, both increasing in width towards inner margin ; 

 the first is curved, slightly indented below median nervure, and broadly 

 bordered inwardly with reddish brown ; the second sinuous, and broadly bor- 

 dered outwardly with reddish brown ; just above the middle of the pale 

 submarginal line is a fuscous cloud, from the lower edge of which a line of 

 the same colour runs to inner margin, and beyond this line the outer margin 

 is bordered with fuscous. Secondaries have a black discal spot, preceded by 

 a transverse shade ; central line black, bordered outwardly with reddish 

 brown ; fuscous cloud, submarginal line and outer border as on primaries. 

 Under surface pale brownish ; all the wings have a black discal spot and 

 interrupted central line ; apex of primaries pale, broadly bordered inwardly 

 ■ with fuscous. Expanse, 53 mm. 



One specimen taken by myself at Ningpo, in April. 



BOARMIA FLAVOLINEARIA, Sp. n, 

 ^, Pale silvery grey, sparingly dusted with fuscous. Primaries with 

 three transverse yellow lines, the basal curved and bordered with blackish, 

 the central and submarginal lines follow a coiurse parallel to each other until 

 they approach the inner margin, where they diverge ; a black cluud about 

 the centre of the wing, and one or two yellowish markings towards apex. 

 Secondaries clouded towards anal angle, and traversed by a broad yellow 

 band. Under surface pale fuscous ; all the wings traversed b}^ two dusky 

 transverse lines. Thorax grey-brown, bordered with yellow. A black line 

 before the fringes, which are of the ground colour. Expaiase, 52 mm. 



Two male specimens (coll. Pryer). 



Tephrosia costipunctaria, sp. n. 

 Primaries pale grey ; basal area and clouds on the outer third brownish 

 grey ; there are four equidistant black spots on the costa, from which lines 

 or bands proceed across the wings to inner margin ; the central band and 

 second line approximate below the middle of the wing ; the discal spot is 

 black, and from this there is a blackish longitudinal bar extending to a pale 

 roundish patch on outer margin. Secondaries grey, thickly mottled with 

 brownish, and traversed by three whitish-edged darker lines. Fringes grey, 

 chequered with darker, and preceded by a series of black lunules. Under 

 surface fuscous, with some paler clouds on the primaries ; discal spot and 

 central line black, the latter edged externally with paler. Expanse, 

 '(? 34 mm.; $ 36mm, 



Three examples of each sex (coll. Pryer). Oiwake. 

 This species is most nearly allied to T. liiridata and T. punc- 

 iularia from Europe, but is not likely to be confused with either. 



Tephrosia parvularia, sp. n. 



(? . Grey-brown. Primaries traversed by two black transverse lines ; the 

 first is curved, angulated below costa, and limits the dark brown basal area ; 

 the second is angulated ; between these lines there is a black discal spot and 

 transverse central shade ; the last followed by a dark brown cloud above the 

 inner margin, and an oblique band or cloud of the same colour is projected 

 from about the middle of second line to outer margin ; the pale wavy sub- 

 marginal line has an interrupted internal edging of dark brown, which is
