median interspaces, and a diffused discal streak from the inner 

 margins near the posterior angles ; the anal border of secondaries 

 also whitish ; discoidal spots well-defined, black in the centre ; 

 markings towards the base ill-defined; body below bone-whitish.

Tonga Island.

85. Boarmia samoana, n. s. 



Pale vinous-brown, irrorated with sepia-brown ; wings crossed 

 by blurred imperfect sepia-brown lines and spots, as in B. 

 abietaria of Europe ; an undulated yellowish testaceous undulated 

 discal stripe, interrupted by the dark brown spots, which succeed 

 the outer line of the central band, the primaries also with two 

 longitudinal divergent stripes of the same yellowish colour below 

 the cell, and one or two indistinct yellowish spots towards base of 

 costal border ; abdomen with the usual dorsal series of black dots 

 in pairs ; under surface with the markings almost obliterated, the 

 annular discoidal markings represented by a large grey spot on 

 the primaries and a smaller one on the secondaries; a greyish 

 diffused submarginal band widening into a broad patch towards 

 costa of primaries ; the costal border of these wings also spotted 

 with blackish. Expanse of wings, 36 mm. 



Samoan Islands. 



Nearest to B. procursaria from India. 



86. Boarmia godeffroyi, n. s. 



Apparently most nearly allied to B. secundaria ol Europe ; 

 whity brown ; most of the lines across the wings externally ill- 

 defined, only indicated here and there by a few dark brown scales ; 

 spots at the extremities of the discoidal cells large, blackish, 

 enclosing a white crescent ; the post-median blackish line and the 

 undulated brown stripe beyond it distinct, excepting on the median 

 interspaces of the primaries and the costal area of the secondaries ; 

 the costal area of the primaries clouded with greyish towards apex ; 

 a marginal series of black dots ; secondaries with the central belt 

 rufous-brown from the disco -cellular spot to the abdominal margin ; 

 abdomen with the usual black dots; wings below whiter than 

 above, with the disc purplish grey, forming a broad belt across the 

 wings, with its centre rather paler than its borders, that on the 

 primaries extending to the outer margin, excepting at apex and
