Tephrosia noctivolens. 

 Tephrosia noctivolens, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 698. 



A fine series in Fryer's collection. The specimens are 

 from Oiwake and Gifu, but chiefly from the former locality. 

 Fenton obtained it at Tokio. 



Hob. Japan. 



Tephrosia (?) tindzinaria. 



Tephrosia tindzinaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. xviii. p. 26, pi. v. fig. 75 

 (1893). 



Recorded by Oberthur from Ta-tsien-Lou (Ta-chien-lu). 

 My collectors did not obtain this species, which, judging 

 from the figure, is probably referable to Cidaria. 

 Hob. "Western China. 



Tephrosia (?) tamaria. 



Tephrosia tamaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. xviii. p. 26, pi. v. fig. 78 

 (1893). 



Oberthur describes this species from specimens received by 

 him from Ta-tsien-Lou (Ta-chien-lu). 



I have not seen an example, but from the figure I should 

 consider that it is probably referable to Cidaria. 



Hob. Western China. 



Genus BOARMIA. 

 (Treitschke, Eur. Schmett. v. p. 433 (1825).) 



Boarmia farracearia, sp. n. 



Slaty grey, mottled and powdered with whitish ; the most 

 conspicuous of these pale marks on the primaries are a large 

 patch on the costa enclosing the discal spot, one at apex, arid 

 a third about the middle of the outer margin ; all these mark- 

 ings are more or less powdered with grey ; there are three 

 dark transverse lines or bands, but these are not well defined; 

 submarginal line white and sharply serrated. Secondaries 

 have two indistinct blackish transverse bands and a black 

 discal spot ; submarginal line as on primaries. Fringes 

 white and dark grey, spotted with black at their base. 

 Under surface whitish : primaries have the costa dusky and 

 a deep blackish band on outer margin, spotted with whitish 

 at apex and on the middle ; secondaries have a broad blackish 

 antemarginal band ; all the wings have a black discal spot 

 and central line.
