Botis unifascialis Packard, Ann. N. Y. L. N. H., 1873. 



One % specimen resembles Packard's description except that the 

 primaries have the external margin shaded with pale color like the fascia. 

 A second £ has the pale shading on hind wings above no more notice- 

 able than in the European opacalis, with which the Californian specimens 

 agree in the immaculate secondaries beneath. The European repre- 

 sentative of this species, unknown to Packard, is opacalis, and it resembles 

 the Californian examples very closely. 



Botis subolivalis Packard, Ann. N. Y. L. N. H., 1873. 



£ £ . This Eastern form has the secondaries in the £ rayed 

 beneath and in both sexes immaculate above ; it is less like opacalis than 

 the Californian examples. Packard's description takes no note of the 

 sex, but, as in unifascialis^ the female has the wings less pointed. B. 

 hircinalis Grote is a synonym. The males have the wings more pointed, 

 the pale fascia sub-obsolete and the hind wings beneath not rayed with 

 fuscous and the ground color more gray. 



Botis stenopteralis, 11. s. 



°. . Allied to hircinalis, narrower-winged and darker colored. Fore 

 wings very dark brown ; a discal black mark ; outer line pale, even, slightly 

 bent. Hind wings black with yellowish basal shades and a mesial yel- 

 lowish broken band continuous with exterior line on primaries. Abdomen 

 blackish above, annulate with white ; beneath white. Wings beneath pale 

 reddish ochrey, with common outer line and discal marks ; external mar- 

 gin of both pair fuscous ; primaries with the anterior (orbicular) dot 

 present. Palpi black at the sides, whitish beneath. 



Expanse 18 mil. Hab. Maine, Prof. C. H. Fernald. 



Differs from ablutalis by the darker color, stouter body, narrow, even 

 exterior line, and black discal maik on primaries above; it is not very 

 nearly related to that species. 



Botis talis, n. s. 



£ . Form of adipaloides. Fore wings bright purple. An irregular- 

 shaped, brown-margined, light yellow patch resting on internal margin 

 within the middle and projected upwards on the cell ; preceded on the 

 cell by a small partially confluent similar spot. A similar quadrate patch
