10 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Var. D is rare in W. Va., but in the Catskills the male of this is most 

 abundant of all ; the female much less so, being replaced by C and B to 

 a great degree. Of 3 males, 3 females, sent me from New Hampshire by 

 Mr. Whitney, and taken at random from his collection, all were of the 

 winter form, var. D, except i female of the summer form. From Canada, 

 Labrador and Anticosti, all the examples received were D, with an occa- 

 sional exception of var. C. Of 4 males from Colorado, all were D ; of 2 

 females, i is D, i C. From Lake Lahache, Br. Columbia, lat. 54°, and 

 perhaps the most northern limit of the species, I have i male D, i female 

 C. From New Mexico even, taken high in the mountains, 2 males are 

 decidedly of var. D, and similar to the usual type from Anticosti in 

 markings, the under side also being like that, red-tinted.

DESCRIPTION OF A NEW BOTIS ALLIED TO FLAVIDALIS. 



BY A. R. GROTE, 



Director of the Museum, Btiffalo Society Natural Sciences. 



I have received from Mr. Frank W. Langdon, of Madisonville, Ohio, 

 a specimen ( ^ ) of a new species of Botis, which I name Botis Langdonalis 

 after its discoverer. It is one of the largest and most striking forms yet 

 made known, and belongs to the group oi flavidalis, with which it agrees 

 in the general color of body and wings. The fore wings from base to first 

 transverse line are clouded with fuscous, and stained with ochreous. The 

 two discal marks are present, the orbicular a dot, the reniform a streak. 

 The space between the exterior transverse or elbowed line and the sub- 

 terminal line is much wider than usual, and this space is filled in with a 

 broad fuscous band crossing the hind wings as well ; the lines are only 

 indicated by the contrast of color. An ocher discal dot on hind wings. 

 Beyond the broad common band the terminal space is narrowly yellow on 

 both wings. Beneath white, opalescent, with discal dots and the broad 

 shade band repeated. Palpi white tipped with ferruginous \ body white 

 beneath. Expanse 37 mil. Length of body 18 mil.
