Two % Z , North Carolina, Arizona. Near B. laticlavia G. & R. 



Botis bellnlalis sp. nov. — Size of B. diffissa G. & E., and quite likely a 

 variety of that species, but it differs as follows : the palpi are fuscous, not ochre- 

 ous ; the thorax and abdomen are fuscous, with a vinous tint, not bright vinous 

 red ; the fore wings are dull vinous fuscous, without yellow basal band or yellow 

 discal spot ; the hind wings are dull vinous fuscous ; beneath, the color is dull 

 vinous, with only faint indications of the outer baud. 



One male three females, Texas. 



Botis biibiibattalis sp. nor. — Expands 17 mm. Head very dark fuscous, 

 jialpi fuscous ; thorax and alxlomen dark fuscous ; fore wings dark maroon-brown 

 with a white line just within the middle, and another one at margin, both par- 

 allel with outer edge ; two small extra median spots just before the middle of 

 wing, also a bidentate fine yellowish line just before and reaching inner margin ; 

 hind wings dark fuscous, fringes lighter ; beneath, dark fuscous, fringes lighter. 



One S , Colorado. Allied to B. volupialis Grote. 



Botis psycliialis sp. nov. — Expands 14 mm. Antennse, thorax and abdo- 

 men light ochreous ; front white ; between the antenna, and at summit of thorax, 

 and on fore wings rich yellow ; fore wings crossed by two white lines, the basal 

 straight, the outer bent outwardly above middle ; a white basal spot and white 

 basally along inner margin ; margin fuscous, fringes fuscous at base, cinereous 

 outwardly ; hind wings whitish, a faint fuscous median band and margin, and 

 fringe fuscous; beneath fuscous, outer line and veins beyond line light fuscous. 



Two 9 9 5 Georgia, Texas. Though much differing in color this 

 seems to be best placed in the diffissa group. 



Botis rogatalis sp. »ioi'.— Expands 19 mm. Palpi, head, thorax and ab- 

 domen fuscous ; fore wings broken fuscous and fuscous cinereous ; the basal space 

 witli a black spot medially, two white lines cross the wings, the first extra basal

 spot annulate with white at reniform ; a dark brown subtriangular apical patch, 

 and a subterminal white line ; marginal line black, broken ; hind wings, even 

 fuscous ; beneath, lighter, lines obsolete, reniform indistinct.

Botis hariolalis sp. nor. — Expands 18 mm. Head, body and wings dark 

 blackish fuscous ; the fore wings are crossed by two broad pure white lines, the 

 first straight, the outer after the Botis pattern, but with the sinus very deep and 

 much extended posteriorly; the two lines closely approximate at inner margin ; 

 costa white near apex ; fringe white just below apex and at posterior aTigle, other- 

 wise concolorous with wing ; hind wings white at base, with a rather broad intra- 

 median white line nearly straight extending across wing, and an outer white 

 line not reaching either margin and hardly passing middle posteriorly ; fringes

 different in ornamentation.
