says this insoct is probably a Tinea ; but both Lord Walsing- 

 iiain and ^Ir. Durrant refused to accept it as a micro. I 

 sent one of my examples to Mr. Meyrick, and he says 

 certainly not a micro, belongs to the Monoctenidoe. I have 

 therefore put it after the Australian genus Epidesma.

Type, P. pura, Swinhoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1902, p. 602. 



I described pura from a female as a Bapta, but having now 

 a male from the same locality (Sumatra), I must make a 

 genus for it. Bapta has simple antennae in both sexes : the 

 bipectinated antennae of p)ura male at once separates it ; the 

 male has the antenna? ochreous, the frons tinged with pink, a 

 pink mark behind each eye, costa of fore wings pinkish, and 

 general coloration of both wings white tinged with primrose. 



Boarmia decisaria. 



Boarmia decisaria, Walker, xxxv. 1589 (186G) ; Swinhoe, Cat. Ilet. 

 Mus. Oxon. ii. p. 291 (1900). 



Kandy, Ceylon ; one male. 



The type from Ceram is in Mus. Oxon. ; it is a very 

 variable insect and has had many names given it, as recorded 

 in my book above quoted, but all the varieties come from the 

 same localities. I have it from Java and Cape York ; it is 

 in Mus. Oxon. from Lifu and Port Moresby, and in Coll. 

 Rothschild from Ke Island. Not previously recorded from 

 the Indian Region.
