408 Mr. A. G. Butler’s Descriptions of new 
white, with conspicuous grey disco-cellular spots and 
faint traces of a discal greyish line; body below pale 
sordid buff ; expanse of wings, 1 inch 10 lines. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
Not nearly allied to any known species; perhaps nearer 
to B. roboraria than to anything else ; in marking some- 
what like B. concursaria. 
104. Boarmia picata, n. 8. 
Allied to B. grisea,* but considerably larger, the 
colours grey, black, and white; the outer half of the 
central band of the primaries white, and the inner half 
black; the central band of the secondaries white, 
bounded internally by a straight black stripe, and ex- 
ternally by two angulated and slightly undulated black 
lines, the inner one of which is more slender and more 
sharply defined ; the external area on all the wings is 
dove-grey, blotched with black and traversed by a black- 
bordered whitish zigzag line ; body grey ; abdomen barred 
with black ; primaries below slaty grey towards the base, 
with a broad central white band enclosing a dark grey 
line along its outer edge; external area black, with a 
pale buff apical spot and a large white marginal spot 
across the second median interspace ; costa with two or 
three pale buff spots; fringe pale creamy buff varied 
with grey; secondaries white, the limes bounding the 
central belt nearly as above; disco-cellular spot black 
instead of grey; a slightly angular submarginal grey 
band; a slender blackish marginal line; expanse of 
wings, 2 inches. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
The most beautiful Boarmia I have ever seen; it is 
also allied to the Indian B. pleniferata. 
105. Tephrosia exculta, n. s. 
Nearly allied to 7’. punctulata, but larger, shining 
creamy white; the abbreviated second line of the 
primaries only represented by a quadrate black costal 
spot, and all the lines beyond the cell slender and more 
oblique than in the European species ; the lines of the 
secondaries, on the other hand, are far more distinct, and
