BOROLIA. By M. Gaede. 
B. lithargyroides Kenriclc is very similar to parvida. The original figures of the two species are scai'cely iiihunjy- 
cliffereiit. Ground-colour more pink. Besides a triangular shadow from the aj^ex to the distal margin. The rmdes. 
white streak at the cell-end is provided with a black streak. Interior and exterior lines marked by a few black 
dots. Hindwing grey. $ 28 mm. Madagascar. 
B. diopis Hmps. (== scirpi Hmps.)- On the whole similar to the two preceding species. Thorax flesh- diopia. 
coloured ochreous, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing like the thorax. A feeble dark streak at the end of the 
median vein and at the base of vein 4. Traces of an interior line, extra-angular in the submedian fold. The 
ring-maciila and reniform macvda are faded pale spots. Traces of an exterior undulate line with black dots 
at veins 4 and 6. Somewhat darker behind it at the margin. Hindwing ochreous at the base, the rest greyish- 
brown. $ 32 mm. Sokotra. 
B. phaeopasta Hmps. (7 a). Thorax and forewing pale brownish ochreous. Traces of an undulate in- phacopasia. 
terior line. Ring-macula and reniform macida small, black, surrounded by a yellow halo. Traces of an ex¬ 
terior line, with dark streaks on the veins behind it. Submarginal line marked by a darkening of the margin 
behind it, whereas the space before it as far as the exterior line is lighter. Hindwing light greyish-brown. $ 
30 mm. Ruwenzori, Birunga. In a $ from Kikuju, which seems to me to belong to this species, the distal margin 
of the forewdng is not darkened. 
B. alticola Auriv. may be a form of phaeopasta. Thorax and forewing ochreous. Interior line angled alticola. 
in the submedian fold, formed of black dots. Ring-macula and reniform macula are likewise small black spots 
in a lighter halo. A black spot at the lower cell-angle. Exterior line formed of a double row of dots. A narrow' 
marginal shadow from the apex to vein 4. Abdomen and hindwing dark greyish-brown. ^ 30 mm. Birunga. 
B. persecta Hmps. Thorax dark red-browm, abdomen much paler. Forewdng pale brownish ochreous, perseda. 
\vith a reddish-blackish radial band in and below' the cell which widens much towards the distal margin. A 
whitish ochreous stripe below the costal margin in the distal area. Also at the inner margin a stripe as in the 
cell. A black dot at the lower cell-angle, a black streak inwards to it. Hindwing wdiite, slightly browmish at 
the margin. 34 mm. Natal, Kilimanjaro. 
B. cameotincta Kenrick (7 a). Thorax brownish ochreous, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewdng olive carneo- 
yellow, tinged wdth pink, radially divided into 3 stripes. Costal-marginal area pale pink, an olive browur tri- Unda. 
angular sj^ot a little before the middle of the costal margin. Traces of a dark interior line. A black spot at 
vein 5, indicating an exterior line, darker at the anal angle. Hindwing greyish-browur, traces of a central luna. 
28 mm. Madagascar. 
B. micropis Hmps. (7 a). Body and forewdng pale yellowdsh-browm. A blackish shadow' at the low'er micropis. 
cell-margin w'idens at the distal margin. 3 black dots above it, the first very small, the third surroiinded by 
an edge of the ground-colour. Exterior line double, its interior branch very indistinct, the row' of dots distinct. 
Intense black lunae at the margin. Hindwdng white, diaphanous, d' -3 mm. Mashona Land, Transvaal. 
B. cupreata Hpip)S. (7 a). Thorax and forewing coppery red. Interior line very indistinct, bent, a black ciiprcafa. 
dot behind it in the submedian fold. Behind the base of veins 3—5 an extinct black spot from w'hich a feeble 
line extends to the inner margin. Close behind it an exterior row' of fine black dots. Traces of a blackish-brown 
submarginal line. Hindwing yellowdsh-white, narrowly coppeiy at the margin. 28—30 mm. Gazaland, Uhehe. 
B. bilineata Hmps. (7 a). Thorax wdiitish ochreous, abdomen greyish-w'hite. Forew'ing pinkish ochreous. hilincata. 
Interior line bent. Ring-macida and reniform macula marked by somewhat lighter spots, the latter w'ith a 
white streak below'. According to the original figure, the exterior line is bent only below' the costal margin, 
then oblique and parallel to the distal margin. Submarginal line feeble, undulate. Hindwing wliite. $ 26 mm. 
Kikujii. The specimen mentioned in the Stett. Ent. Z. Vol. 77 I consider to belong to phaeopasta (although 
it is an alpine species), ow'ing to the colour of the hindw'ing and the somew'hat different shape of the exterior line. 
B. eriopygodes Auriv. is the largest Borolia. Thorax reddish yellowish-grey, abdomen greyish-yellow', crtopygndes. 
Forewing dark grey, yellow'ish at the base. Interior line obliquely outw'ards almost to the middle of the inner 
margin. The exterior line is a double row' of black dots, almost parallel to the distal margin, the tw'o branches 
separated rather much. Right behind it the yellowish submarginal line. Reniform macula large, faded, edged 
W'ith black. Hindwing dark grey, darker at the margin. cJ 45 mm. Kilimanjaro. 
B. rosengreeni Rid. Body and forew'ing reddish-brown, thorax in front more yellowish. Forewing with rosen- 
a distinct apex, paler at the costal margin as far as the exterior line and at the inner margin at the base. In- grecm. 
terior line marked by 3 dots. A distinct w'hite dot at the cross-vein is broadly edged w'ith blackish-grey out¬ 
side. Exterior line of 8 black dots sitixate on the veins. Hindw'ing brownish-grey, not lighter than forewing. 
d' 29—31 mm. Sokotra.
