ground-colour, indistinct towards inner margin, and inwardly 

 edged with fuliginous. Secondaries brownish, freckled and 

 striated with blackish ; the blackish discal spot is preceded 

 by a blackish transverse band, and followed by a series of

 as on primaries but more obscure. Fringes pale brown, pre- 

 ceded by a black lunulated line. Under surface greyish 

 brown, suffused on the disc with fuliginous ; all the wings 

 have two blackish transverse lines, with the discal spot upon 

 the first one; costa of primaries pale ochreous brown, striated

One male specimen in Fryer's collection, and I received

Boarmia tristaria, sp. n. 



Brownish grey. Primaries have fuliginous-brown sub- 

 basal, central, and outer bands, the two latter approximating 

 on inner margin : all these markings are repeated on second- 

 aries. The submarginal line is whitish on all the wings, 

 but not so well defined as in B. mcesta. Under surface pale 

 ochreous brown powdered with darker, and suffused with the 

 darker colour on primaries ; discal spot black ; outer line 

 only reproduced. Antennas fasciculate. 



Expanse 44 millim. 



Two male specimens from Kiukiang, June. 



Hob. Central China. 



This species agrees with B. mcesta in the style of marking, 

 but the ground-colour is darker and without any tinge of 

 purple. The antennae also are fasciculated and not bipectinated 

 as in B. mcesta. It belongs to the Pro-china section of 

 Boarmia , Hampson, as also does B. opertaria.
