NEW MOTHS. 



BY A. R. GROTE, BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Botis submedialis, n. s, 



Allied to marculenta G. & R. Stouter, of a duskier yellow. Dis- 

 tinguished by the open, fuscous-ringed discal spots and by the presence 

 of a similar spot on the median space inferiorly, below the median vein. 

 These ringed spots are inconspicuous. The subterminal line of marcu- 

 lenta is obsolete. Secondaries with a broader angulated median fuscous 

 facia ; the subterminal again wanting. Beneath fuscous, with the outer 

 transverse line on the fore wings picked out by interspaceal pale blotches. 



Expanse 27 mil. Hab. Canada (Mr. Saunders). 



Hydrocampa ektlilipsis, u. s. 



Size of genuinalis Led., with the wings more pointed and the external 

 margin more sinuate. Dusky yellow with white spots margined by black 

 lines. Two of these spots superposed on median space, the lower the 

 larger, pyramidal. A large white spot open to costa at outer third, its 

 outer edge rounded; in genuinalis this spot has its outer edge alone distinct 

 and concave. A fine brown line, submedially angulate, follows this outer 

 spot on the yellow ground color of the wing. Then a subterminal 

 whitish shade band is bordered inwardly by a diffuse dentate brown line, 

 and outwardly by an even dark line ; terminal space even, yellow. This 

 ornamentation is repeated on hind wings where the median spots are con- 

 fluent. Beneath as above. 



Expanse 22 mil. Albany (O. Meske) \ London (Mr. Saunders). 



Eurymene rosaria G. 6° R. MS. 



Entirely pale yellow with the transverse lines appearing as diffuse 

 darker bands, the outer stained with blackish and pink at internal mar- 

 gin. External margin of fore wings rounded. Costa at base flushed with 

 pink. Hind wings with an olive-colored curved abbreviated band at 

 internal angle, outwardly diffusely pink. Beneath more brightly yellow, 

 unicolorous, with the secondaries pink beyond the flexed outer line. No 

 discal marks. Abdomen beneath and fore femora pink. This species 

 has been distributed under the above MS. name, but not as yet described.
