«qual, and only just traceable. The hind tibiae have two pairs of spurs. The males 

 are without a brand on the primaries. 



This is an American genus, the species ranging from Mexico to Chili.

Alis fuscis, anticis punctis quatuor aut sex minutis albis, posticis immaculatis : subtus ufc supra, sed squamis 

 pallidis dispersis ; anticis margine interno late albidis, punctis (prsesertim in posticis) minoribus et magis 

 obviis.

Bah. Mexico, Chilpancingo, Amula, Venta de Zopilote in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 



Mr. Herbert Smith sent us six examples of this small species, all captured in Guerrero, 

 Western Mexico, at an altitude of from 2800 to 6000 feet. B. microsticta is nearly 

 allied to B. anomala, which it closely resembles on the upperside, but it may at once 

 he distinguished from that insect by the underside of the secondaries being brown, with 

 white spots, instead of grey, as well as by its smaller size. Eor the genitalia of the 

 male, see Tab. XCII. fig. 3. 



2. Butleria anomala, (B. leucospila, Tab. XCII. figg. 4, 5, 6, <? .)

Alis fuscis, anticis punctis septem aut ooto, uno in cellula, duobus infra earn, aliis tribus marginem externum 

 propioribus ; posticis punctis minutis duobus aut tribus discalibus (nonnunquam fere obsoletis) : subtus 

 anticis fuscis, punctis ut supra, anticis apicibus et posticis omnino squamis pallide griseis tectis.

This is likewise an inhabitant of Western Mexico, where most of our specimens were 

 captured by Mr. Herbert Smith at an elevation of about 8000 feet. Our insects have 

 the apex of the primaries and the whole of the secondaries densely clothed with grey 

 scales beneath, these being scarcely visible in the worn type. The genitalia of the 

 male are very like those of B. microsticta, except that the lower lobe of the harpes 

 has a serrated apex, instead of two sharp teeth. (See Tab. XCII. fig. 6.) 



3. Butleria ceracates.

The tyoe of this species is a female, and it is the only example we have seen.
