206 GEdMETRID MOTHS 



posteriorly furcate, its distal branch joining the hinder spot of 

 the postniedian ; postmedian as above ; terminal bands darker 

 and more solid, especially on fore wing, where only apex and 

 faint traces of siibterniinal line and of terminal markings 

 between K^ and M~ remain pale. 



Mt. Mnrud, November. 



In spite of date of capture and similarity of structure, it seems 

 impossible that this can be a 9 form of the preceding. 



117. BOARMIA CHLOANA sp. n. 



cT, 9 33-36 mm. 



Face nearly smooth, without cone below. Palpus rathei 

 short, heavily scaled above and beneath ; terminal joint small 

 and blunt, mostly concealed. Antennal pectinations moderate 

 (the longest about 4), distal one-fifth merely ciliated. Head 

 and thorax tawny-olive, no doubt greener when fresh emerged ; 

 abdomen rather gi-eyer, with a slight, pale basal crest ; body 

 beneath whitish. Abdomen of (^ with strong lateral and anal 

 tufts, much as in Polylopliodes tnangularia Warr. (Nov. 

 Zool., iii, p. 406). Fore and middle legs darkened above, with 

 pale spots at ends of joints. 



Fore wing rather elongate, termen smooth, curved, strongly 

 oblique; SC^"^ coincident, free; fovea present; light yellowish- 

 olive, with small black costal spots at origin of lines; an 

 incomplete (costal) band close to base; a moderately broad 

 vinaceous-ciimamon, black-irrorated band on either side of 

 median area, the proximal slightly broader and stronger ; lines 

 blackish; antemedian from costa at about 5 mm., rather 

 variably excurved in cell, angled inward at fold; cell-mark 

 more or less elongate, narrow; median just beyond it, angled 

 outward in cellule 5, weak posteriorly; postmedian just proxi- 

 mal to two-thirds, angled outward in cellule 5, obhque inward 

 to M\ here and on M^ with black spots, w'eaker posteriorly, 

 gently incurved at fold ; subterminal white, dentate, with 

 deeper proximal tooth on R^, posteriorly running to tornus ; a 

 vinaceous-cinnamon, black-mixed terminal spot at the radials ; 

 terminal black dots sharp, triangular; fringe pale, distally 

 almost white, proximally with dark spots opposite the veins. 

 Hind wing with apex round-prominent, termen wavy and 

 sinuous, straightish or almost convex anteriorly, weakly convex 

 posteriorly; proximal half whitish, with grey median and 

 postmedian lines, the former thickened at abdominal margin,
