THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 107 



Expanse 31 mil. Ohio (Mr. Drury). 



Botis socialis, 11. s. 



Fore wings triangulate, widening outwardly more than usual. Ground 

 color pale yellow washed with red, especially beyond the outer line, where 

 a broad, diftuse, blackish subterminal band forms the most prominent 

 marking of the wing and appears purplish from overlying bright scales. 

 Transverse lines blackish, linear, trembled. Stigmata small, both solid. 

 Outer line not strongly indented below median vein. Fringes pale, silky, 

 very faintly interlined. The terminal edge of the wing is narrowly red. In 

 one specimen the red shades are more or less absent, leaving the sub- 

 terminal shade blackish. Hind wings pale yellow, with the subterminal 

 broad shade more or less obviously continued ; fringes pale. A fine 

 mesial line. Beneath very pale sericeous yellow, with the subterminal 

 shade and fragments of the exterior line repeated. On primaries discal 

 marks repeated. On fore wings in one specimen the fringe is a little 

 fuscous above. Body yellowish, paler beneath. 



Expanse 25 mil. Canada, Mr. Saunders ; Buffalo, Mr. Zesch. 



Botis alledalis, n. s. 



^ . Size of covimunis, but with more pointed primaries and longer 

 abdomen. Gray over fuscous, with a pale ochreous discal patch on the 

 median space surrounding the stigmata. These latter distinct, solid, dark 

 fuscous, the oblique orbicular probably sometimes with paler centre, as it 

 is faintly so on one wing. The lunate reniform followed by a fuscous 

 shade margining the ochreous patch outwardly. T. p. line denticulate 

 with a whitish included shade, setting out the line, not much indented 

 below median vein. The gray scales overlay the fuscous, and when the 

 wing is rubbed are first lost. The costa to t. jx line is ochrey fuscous. 

 Hind wings translucent fuscous with pale line and darker borders. Head 

 and appendages ochrey fuscous. Beneath paler with stigmata and 

 exterior common line apparent.
