•opposite the space between the two last of these spots, and beneath the 

 fold, is another small brown spot on the base, near the dorsal margin ; 

 •there is also one on the apex of the thorax, and sometimes three or four 

 obscure ones on the thorax before it. Beneath the fold, close to, but not 

 touching it, at about half the wing length, is a tuft of raised scales, the 

 anterior portion being brown and the posterior white. Behind the discal 

 cell are two other tufts, opposite to each other, one within the costal 

 margin and the other within the dorsal margin, and behind the space 

 between these tufts are three or four narrow, longitudinal streaks of white 

 and dark gray, and the dorsal margin behind the tuft is whitish. Behind 

 the costal tuft is an oblique white costal streak, passing backwards towards 

 a small whitish spot in the dorsal ciliae, and margined decidedly behind 

 *by dark broAvn ; behind the margin of this streak the costal margin along 

 the base of the ciliae is reddish ochreous, with three or four small white 

 spots on the base of the ciliae, which are grayish brown. There is also 

 a small brown spot on the costa just before the middle, and one on the 

 disc behind it. Al. ex. ^ to ^ inch. Waco and Basque Co. 



BUTALIS. 



B. buristriga. N. sp. 



Dark purple brown, with a narrow yellow streak along the middle of 

 the fold, which is sometimes interrupted. Ai. ex. y 2 inch, Season, 

 October. 



B. dorsipallidella. JV. sp. 



Dark purple brown ; the base of the primaries and the dorsal margin 

 to the fold, pale ochreous yellow faintly suffused with purplish. Al. ex.

B. immciculatella. N. sp. 



Dark bronzy brown, somewhat iridescent ; the second joint of the 

 palpi a little pale beneath. Al. ex. y 2 inch. Season, April. 



The two following species I have been unable to separate from Butalis 

 otherwise than by the ornamentation, which is altogether different from 

 that of the other species. 



B. plausipenella. JSJ. sp. 



Very pale ochreous yellow, nearly white ; the second joint of the 

 antennae stained with fuscous towards the apex, and a fuscous annulus
