1886.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM WESTERN INDIA. 389 



This species, when fresh, is decidedly greenish, and therefore con- 

 trasts strongly with the allied H. swinhoei, recently captured speci- 

 mens of which are decidedly reddish. 



BOARMIID^. 



152. BOARMIA TTERATA, Sp. n. 



Near to B. repandaria of Europe, the basal area of the wings 

 more or less suffused with grey, all the markings much more strongly 

 defined excepting the pale submarginal stripe, which is indistinct and 

 less perfectly dentate-sinuate; the first and second black lines on 

 the secondaries are also twice the width apart; the under surface is 

 greyish white instead of sandy buff, and the primaries are strongly 

 clouded with blackish. Expanse of wings 41 to 47 millim. 



Murree, 24th and 28th August, 4th September ; Kala Pani, 

 24th September, 1885. 



Boarmia iterata is a common, though unnamed, Indian species ; 

 it is allied to B.pleniferata, but more nearly to the European insect. 



153. Gnophos? obtectaria.

This species should be separated from Gnophos, as the antennae of 

 the male are distinctly bipectinated ; it may perhaps prove to belong 

 to one of the many allied genera already characterized in this 

 family. Only one worn specimen was sent by Major Yerbury. 



154. Gnophos? p^rltta, sp. n. 



Allied to O. obtectaria : granite-grey, all the ordinary markings on 

 the upper surface indistinct, centre of the wings slightly paler than 

 the remainder of the surface, so as to give the appearance of a dif- 

 fused band, this in the primaries is partly bounded by an abbreviated 

 zigzag blackish line, and on the secondaries by a series of blackish 

 dots on the veins ; there is also a blackish spot at the end of each 

 discoidal cell ; the external border is slightly ash-coloured, with a 

 faintly indicated paler zigzag inner edging, the fringe is traversed at 

 the base and in the middle by slender pale lines, and the abdominal 

 fringe is white : below pure white, the wings with black discocellular 

 spots and a broad blackish external border ; fringe spotted with 

 white ; legs greyish above. Expanse of wings 48 millim. 



Kala Pani, 24th September, 1885. 



There is a series of this obscure-looking species in Mr. Moore's 

 collection. 



155. Gnophos dispunctata. 



Gnophos dispunctata, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xxi. p. 469. n. 28
