BOMOLOCHA. By W. Warren. 433 



B. squalida Btlr. (73 d). Resembles zilla Btlr. in that the large brown blotch touches the inner margin squalida. 

 shortly just before middle; the outer white line limiting the blotch is minutely crenulate throughout, and is 

 followed by a faint brown line: the projection at vein r, is stronger than in zilla; the oblique line from 

 base is white, with some fuscous scales beneath it, and the inner margin from baso brown; a black dot in cell 

 and slight lunule at its end; terminal area blue grey, mixed with fuscous and brown; subterminal line indica- 

 ted by black white-tipped spots, preceded by a dark triangular patch at costa and inner margin; a, brown 

 subapical cloud: hindwing greyish fuscous; the above description applies to the $; the <$ is wholly darkened 

 with purplish grey: hindwing deep brownish fuscous. Recorded from Japan, Kiushiu, and Corea. 



B. obductalis Walk. ( = rhombalis Alph. nee Guen.) (73 d). Differs from rhombalis in the shape of the obdtictalis. 

 dark blotch, the outer edge of which, instead of curving outwards to near termen, runs nearly vertical to vein 6, 

 forming there a mamilliform projection, and is curved inwards to join the inner edge on vein L, the whole 

 edged by a pale and dark line; subterminal line formed of dark white-edged spots is not interrupted by 

 the projection, and the dark curved wisp from apex is well separated from it; as in the allied species, the $ 

 has the ground colour much paler than the <$. Described from India, but occurring in China as well. 



B. mandarina Leech (73 d). Forewing grey clouded with fuscous brown; a large irregular chocolate mandarina. 

 brown patch occupies nearly the whole median area and reaches the costa; its outer edge, bordered by whitish, 

 is incurved to vein 5, obtusely angled there, then straight and oblique inwards to just above middle of inner 

 margin, whence it curves obliquely inwards to base of wing; the patch is limited throughout by a fine dark 

 line; an oblique diffuse blackish streak from apex; subterminal line a wavy series of black and white dots; 

 hindwing fuscous, with blackish discal lunule. This species, allied to rhombalis, is recorded from Central and 

 Western China. 



B. albopunctalis Leech. Forewdng pale fuscous, with a faint brownish tinge; inner line dark, thick albopunc- 

 and shortly oblique outwards at costa, oblique inwards and f me on inner margin, interrupted between ; outer Ullis - 

 line dark, edged with pale, vertically waved, the outward curves lying on the folds; a conspicuous white 

 dot in cell, and an obscure dark spot at end, on the brown median shade which runs close before outer line; 

 subterminal pale, wavy dentate, the teeth filled up with dark; terminal lunules black; hindwing fuscous. 

 Central China, Corea, and the Goorais Valley, Kashmir; also from Kiushiu, teste Wileman. 



B. bipartita Stgr. (73 e). Forewing chestnut brown to outer line, then whitish grey; a faint nearly Mparlita. 

 straight inner line, within which the basal area is sometimes paler; outer line strongly marked, milk white, 

 variable in shape, sometimes twdce bent in middle, at others slightly curved only; subterminal line faint, 

 pale, preceded by a grey shade which starts from a brown costal patch; hindwing fuscous. Amurland. 



B. bicoloralis Graes. Forewing with the costa, termen, and inner margin yellowish white; the whole licohralis. 

 ulterior of the wing occupied by a black brown rhomboid patch as in fontis and other species ; hindwing dark 

 brown. Chabarofka, Amurland. 



B. rhombalis Guen. ( = tel&jnxmsblisWalk., basistrigalis M oore) (73 d). $ forewing very dark redbrown , with a rhombalis. 

 large fuscous semicircular patch on the costa before apex, irrorated with a few bluish white scales ; an oblique 

 line from termen below apex to inner margin beyond middle; the area beyond it fuscous, irrorated with bluish 

 white scales; a fuscous streak on inner margin; hindwing dark fuscous; the $ is redder; the forewing with 

 the costal patch, the inner marginal, and terminal areas ochreous; in veronica Btlr. (75 c) the lower angle of the veronica. 

 costal patch extends to the inner margin; in the ab. perspicua ZeecA the rhombus, which is clearly outlined perspicua. 

 in white, has its outer angle rather more produced than hi the type, and is well separated from the apical 

 streak; the lower angle, as in veronica, reaches the inner margin ; in ab. obscura Leech the forewing is almost otscura. 

 wholly fuliginous, the only markings visible being the costal end of the white outline of the rhombus, a 

 white apical cloud, and a few- white specks indicating the subterminal line. An Indian species, which also oc- 

 curs in Yesso and Central, Eastern, and Western China. 



B. tenebralis Moore (73 e). Forewing very dark brown, slightly irrorated with grey; inner and outer (enebralis. 

 lines very faint, the outer incurved below the cell and nearly meeting inner line on inner margin; a dark 

 streak on discocellular ; a subterminal series of black and white specks from the costa to vein 4, thence an 

 indistinct curved line to inner margin; an obscure grey apical streak; the area beyond the outer line of 

 forewing is sometimes paler. A north Indian species, one example of which is recorded by Leech from Wa-shan, 

 Western China.
