OPHTllALMODES. — ELPIIOS. 
65 
When Boarmia is subdivided, as it must be eventually, this species will probably form 
the type of a new genus : before breaking up this large group, however, it will be necessary 
to ascertain without doubt which section of the genus shall retain the name Boarmia, a work 
requiring no small amount of time and labour. 
OPHTHALMODES, Guen. 
Ophthalmodes infusaria. (Plate CXVI. fig. 6.) 
Ophthalmodes infusaria, WaRcr, Cat. Lep. Ilet. sx. p. 448. n. 4 (1860). 
Sericeous pale whity brown, densely mottled and banded with olive- green, the pattern 
being almost identical with that of O. herbidar'ia, Guen. { — diurnaria, Walk.), but with 
diifused green instead of black markings on the upper surface^ and on the under surface 
a much narrower and more angular band across the secondaries, which is also much 
further from the outer margin ; the whole of the dark markings on the under surface are, 
moreover, greyer than in O. herbidaria. Expanse of wings 71 millim. 
Silhet [Stainsforth). , 
Although from the same locality, this is not likely to be a variety of 0. herbidaria ; 
indeed it is far more distinct from it than are 0. exemptaria and O. clararia from Borneo 
and Java. 
ELPHOS, Guen. 
Elphos pardicelata. (Plate CXVI. fig. 7.) 
Elphos pardicelata, Wallcer, Cat. Lep. Het. xxvi. p. 1544 (1862). 
Nearly allied to E. hynienaria of Silhet, but altogether paler and more evenly coloured 
in both sexes, which are also much more alike than in E. hymenaria : wings white, sprinkled 
all over with small grey and blackish spots, and banded with pale sandy testaceous and 
greyish ; the ordinary markings formed exactly as in E. hymenaria, but none of thein quite 
black, and most of them ill-defined ; body grey. Under surface very distinct from E. hy- 
menaria, creamy white : the primaries sparsely mottled with grey, with a large spot at the end 
of the cell, a subapical belt, and a large spot near external angle blackish : secondaries with a 
large spot at the end of the cell, an angular subapical patch, a large spot near the middle of 
the outer margin, and another near the anal angle blackish : body below greyish. Expanse 
of wings 85 millim.
