NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 151 



an outer white line apparent near anal angle ; fringes white at base, fuscous out- 

 wardly ; beneath, fuscous ; a white spot at costa of fore wings ; margin dark 

 fuscous. 



One S , Oregon. Near the preceding species. 



Botis Tenalalis sjj. nov. — Expands 22 mm. Palpi fuscous; antennje some- 

 what lighter; head, thorax, abdomen and wings smoky bone white ; the lines of 

 the fore wings fine, fuscous, the basal forming a right angle just below costa, then 

 running straight across ; the outer forming a right angle one-fourth out, then 

 running nearly straight to margin, and continued with some waviness across 

 hind wings ; all wings with fuscous marginal lines ; fringes very light ; beneath, 

 dirty squammose fuscous ; outer line as above, but broader ; marginal line present 

 as above. 



One % , New York. This and the next three species may be 

 placed near B. marcidenta G. & R., although the above is in some 

 respects aberrant. 



Botis pilalis S2). nov. — Expands 23 mm. Palpi, vertex and shoulders ochre- 

 ous ; thorax and fore wings ochreous yellow ; basal line fuscous, broad, nearly 

 straight ; outer line same color, after the Botis pattern, but at the angle of the 

 great sinus met by a line from the costa, curved, crossing dark reniform spot and 

 inclosing with sinus a nearly circular space; orbicular present ; a faint subter- 

 minal fuscous line parallel with outer edge ; margin darker than ground color ; 

 hind wings light ochreous outwardly with fuscous outer line ; also faint subter- 

 minal shading of same color; beneath, light ochre, lines much as above; sub- 

 terminal and marginal lines of fore wings more pronounced. 

 Two % % , Indian River, Florida. 



Botis confovealis sp. nov. — Expands 23 mm. Palpi fuscous; breast pure 

 white ; thorax ochreous in front, fuscous behind. Abdomen fuscous. Fore wings 

 even ochreous, a little deepened along costa ; outer line very faintly apparent 

 near middle of wing ; hind wings white ; faint fuscous outwardly ; beneath, light 

 ochreous fuscous, outer line very faint; hind wings a little lighter than fore 

 wings. 



Two % % , Texas. 



Botis pergilvalis sp. nov. — Expands 26 mm. Pale yellow, with ochreous 

 shadings, especially along the costa ; lines much as in B. pilalis above, though 

 they are not so dark, and the wings are much broader; hind wings pure glisten- 

 ing Avhite, a little fuscous outwardly, and with fuscous outer line, but no sub- 

 terminal shading. 



Three females, Arizona. Very near to B. dasconalis Walk., and 

 B. colorademis G. & R. This and the latter may both be varieties 

 of the B. dasconalis Walk. 



Botis gracilalis sp. nov. — Expands 23 mm. Pure white ; fore wings very 

 narrow and extended ; an ochreous tinge along costa ; bands fuscous, both some- 

 what interrupted, the outer nearly parallel with outer margin ; a fuscous shading 

 in middle field ; hind wings with subterminal fuscous band ; marginal line on 

 all wings, fine black, interrupted between veins ; beneath, pure glistening white. 



Two ? 9 J Texas.
