 tinged, and the thorax in front a little ochreous. Under surface of body 

 and legs whitish ; fore tibiae marked with brown ; palpi dark ochreous, 

 white beneath. Fore wings with two stigmata, dark, nearly solid, the 

 outer annulate. Lines blackish, fine, dentate ; the outer line much bent 

 in to below the outer spot, thus differing from citrina, and continued on 

 secondaries. No subterminal line. A terminal series of ochrey points 

 on both wings. Fringes pale yellow. Eyes with a white line. Beneath 

 the costa of primaries is shaded with ochreous ; both stigmata repeated ;

Botis cateuulalii, n. s. 



Larger than vejitralis. Entirely brown, not opalescent. Fore wings 

 with the exterior line not greatly indented below vein 2, and followed by 

 a series of dull yellowish spots opposite the scalloping of the hne. Discal 

 spots annulate ; all three present ; the inferior (claviform) spherical. The 

 transverse anterior line faintly preceded by a pale shade. Hind wings 

 paler than primaries, especially towards internal margin, crossed by a line 

 corresponding to the outer line of primaries, not much indented, con- 

 tinuous, lunulate, the indentations filled in with pale spots as on fore 

 wings. An even dark brown terminal line ; fringes paler than wing, 

 whereas on primaries these are concolorous. Beneath paler than above 

 with the outer common line distincdy repeated as well as the stigmata on 

 fore wings. Head and palpi brown above, white beneath.
