24 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Art a otivalis, n. s. 



$ <j> . A small species allied to stata/is, but differing by the olivaceous 

 cast of the fore wings above, crossed by two even parallel faint pale lines, 

 the inner at the middle of the wing, the outer within the middle of the 

 terminal portion ; fringes vinous. Hind wings pale purplish with vinous 

 fringes. Beneath the costal and external margins are bright wine-color ; 

 a pale common line. Abdomen beneath vinous ; legs pale yellowish and 

 purplish. Labial palpi divaricate ; ocelli present ; $ antennas scaled 

 above, pubescent beneath ; shape of the wings much as in Asopia, but 

 the costa and internal margins are even more parallel. 



Expanse 14 mil. Hab. Texas, Belfrage (No. 405, July and August). 

 This is even a slighter species than Condylolomia participia/is. 



Botis ven a lis, n. s. 



$ % . Allied to dasconalis by its plain appearance, but smaller and 

 differently ornamented. Fore wings ochreous, varying in intensity of 

 color, with darker diffuse longitudinal shades along the veins, without lines 

 or spots. Hind wings pale, sub-pellucid, saturated with ochreous, without 

 lines or spots. Beneath whitish, fore wings streaked with fuscous, without 

 lines or spots. Thorax, head and palpi above ochrey, beneath white ; 

 abdomen pale ochrey above, beneath with legs whitish ; fore tibiae within 

 darker. 



Expanse 26 mil. Not uncommon about Buffalo, N. Y., in June. Easily 

 recognized by its simple ornamentation, which differs from that of any 

 other species known to me. 



Botis trimaculalis, 11. s. 



$ $ . Clay-yellow ; fore wings narrower and more pointed than 

 usual. Terminally the wing is more or less distinctly shaded with fuscous. 

 Three open spots on median space. The orbicular round, reniform lunate 

 and a third and smaller spot on submedian fold also open and spherical, 

 varying in size. The stigmata are annulate with fuscous, their centres are 

 perhaps a little darker yellow than the wing. Interior line even, bent. 

 Exterior line not very uneven ; after touching vein 2 it runs inward, rising 

 on the interspace till it nearly meets the lower extremity of the reniform 

 which extends over the base of veins 3 to 5. Head and thorax ochrey; 

 abdomen ochreous on the segments above, annulated with white, beneath
