298 ^Iv. J. H. Leech 07i Lepidoptera ffeterocera 



In one example from Pu-tsu-fong the large spot is only 

 outlined in black, the interior being brownish ; in a specimen 

 from How-kow this spot is entirely reddish brown and 

 rather less in size than in the specimens from Western China. 



Distribution. Sikhim [Hampson) ; Western China and 

 Thibet. 



Bumia trimacularia, sp, n. (PI. VI. fig. 9.) 



Male. — Pale yellow. Primaries have a reddish patch at 

 the base, an oblong one on costa extending to median ner- 

 vure and enclosing a lunule, and a square one at apex ; there 

 are two indistinct %vavy transverse lines, the first com- 

 mencing in a reddish dot on costa, and the second from inner 

 edge of the apical patch. Secondaries have a blackish 

 central spot and narrow wavy band. Under surface yellow : 

 inner margin of primaries whitish and the costa tinged with 

 pinkish ; there are two blackish transverse lines, but the 

 first one is nearer the base of the wing than on ujiperside ; 

 discal spot large, blackish ; apical spot reddish, but faint : 

 secondaries have a blackish central spot and subniarginal 

 line. The central band of secondaries shows through on the 

 under surface, and the basal line on under surface of primaries 

 and the submarginalof secondaries are each more distinct than 

 on the upper surface. 



Expanse 50-56 millim. 



Female deeper yellow, apical patch of primaries absent. 



Six male specimens and five females received from Moupin, 

 Che-tou, Pu-tsu-fong, Wa-ssu-kow, Ta-chien-lu, and IIow-

Rumia inornataria, sp. n. 



Sulphur-yellow. Primaries have an annulation at end 

 of cell and two transverse lines on outer marginal area.

 band on primaries, are shadowy and indistinct. The costa 

 of primaries is narrowly tinged with pink, and the fringes 

 are slightly tinted with the same colour. Under surface : 

 primaries have a subbasal line, annulation at end of cell, 

 and a submarginal line, all rather clearer than above : second- 

 aries have a central and a submarginal line, but neither are 

 very distinct.
