Lppidoptera fr())it Kinldang. 1-43 



235. Boarmia ocellata, n. s. (PI. IX., fig. 11). 



Male. All the winf^s whitish, sprinkled with brown and ochreous 

 scales, clouded with fuscous at the tips and angles, and with a 

 series of black points on edge of outer margins. Discal rings 

 blackish, conspicuous. Primaries : anterior margin narrowly 

 edged with dark brown, and with three dark brown marks, from 

 which emanate three transverse angulated lines ; only one, how- 

 ever — that beyond the middle — is distinctly traceable ; submarginal 

 line pale. Secondaries : central line blackish, serrated, and curved ; 

 submarginal line ill- defined, represented at the extremities by a 

 darkish shade edged externally with whitish. Fringes greyish. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen colour of wings. Antennae deeply 

 pectinated almost to their tips. Under surface whitish, with large 

 black discal spots, and broad black hind marginal bands inter- 

 ruj)ted in the middle. 



Female. Colour and markings as in male. Antennse slightly 

 serrated. 



Expanse, ^ 57 — 60 mm., ? 57 mm. 



Very nearly allied to Boarmia selenaria, Hiibn. ; in 

 the male of that species, however, the antennte are not 

 pectinated, but slightly setose only along their outer 

 edge, and the female has filiform antennae : therefore 

 the two species are readily separated by these characters 

 alone without reference to the wing-ornamentation, 

 which, though much alike in the two species, present 

 difl:'erences, such as the conspicuous discal rings above 

 and spots below of B. ocellata. These, together with the 

 black hind marginal band on under surface, at once 

 distinguish this species from B. selenaria, or any other 

 known Boarmid. 



Three examples (one male, two females). 



236. Stenotrachelys cinerea, Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc, 

 Lond., 1881, 409. 



Two specimens. 



237. Buzura ahraxata, n. s. (PI. IX., fig. 14). 

 Female. Primaries white, with some yellow and brownish 

 markings at the base, the most distinct of which are a j'ellow 

 curved line from costa to inner margin, edged internally as far as 

 the median nervure and externally to the submedian nervure with 

 brownish ; submarginal line yellow, edged externally with brownish.
