Mt. Murud, November — 1 (f . 



Eather brightly coloured above, recalling ■■^qitamosa Warr. 

 (Nov. Zool. iii. p. 131) beneath. B. fimbriata as at present 

 understood seems very variable and it is undesirable to erect 

 a subspecies on a single example. 



116. BOARMIA MESOTOECHIA sp. n. 



9 35 mm. 



Face with moderately appressed scales; blackish-brown, 

 narrowly pale beneath. Palpus rather short and stout, with 

 minute blunt terminal joint; blackish-brown, ]ialer at tip. 

 Vertex black-brown ; occiput pale buff. Body pale buff ; 

 wino^-tegulae with a dark central spot ; abdomen above with 

 weak dark belts which are slightly interrupted by a pale 

 mediodorsal line. 



Wino-s with about the shape of fimbriata Moore. Fore wincj 

 with SC^'^ long-stalked, anastomosino- at a point with C, SC 

 connected with SC^"* ; pale buff, somewhat clouded (especially 

 at the postmedian line't with cinuamon-bnff ; some dark 

 irroration ; dark costal spots at 4, 8 and 11 mm., giving birth 

 to the lines ; antemedian marked by a dot on M and a short 

 streak on SM" ; median slightly excurved just outside the 

 cell-dot. thickened a little at hind margin ; postmedian 

 punctiforni, M'ith a spot at SM^ (reaching hind margin'* , rather 

 abruptly bent outward to the dot on !R\ thence rather more 

 oblique inward than termen. the posterior spot, however, 

 rather more distal than the dot on M^ ; terminal area dark- 

 clouded near apex and tornally ; subterminal fairly distinct on 

 the dark shades, slight between, dentate anteriorly, scarcely 

 posteriorly ; longitudinal black terminal marks in cellules 4, 

 5 and 6 ; terminal line interrupted at the veins ; fringe w^eakly 

 mottled. Hind wing pale at extreme base, thence heavily 

 irrorated to near middle, where a blackish median band 

 nearly touches the feeble postmedian dots ; a rather broad 

 cinnamon-buff" band beyond, nearly (in middle quite) reaching 

 the subterminal ; distal area nearly as on fore wing. 



Underside cream-buff ; proximal area with strong dark 

 irroration and suffusion ; median shade of fore wing almost as 

 broad as on hind wing; straightish, crossing the cell-dot.
