BOARMIA CINCTAPJA, Ab. 



The above figure represents a beautiful aberration of Boarmia 

 cinctaria. In the strongly contrasted coloration it bears a close 

 resemblance to the striking banded forms of Hyheniia leucophearia 

 var. marmorinaria. 



The primaries have the basal and marginal areas of a dark 

 dusky brown ; the median band white, slightly streaked with 

 brown, and the usual central oval black marking ; the secondaries 

 are similarly coloured, having the basal half and apical portions 

 white dusted with brown. 



The specimen was captured in the New Forest in 1893, and 

 is in the collection of Mr. Joseph H. Carpenter, to whom I am 



indebted for the loan of it for figuring.
