NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 158 



Two % % two 9 9 ■. Indian River, Florida, California. The one 

 specimen from California is somewhat more heavily marked with 

 brown, and varies some in the direction of the outer lines, but is, I 

 think, conspecific with the Florida specimens. The species belongs 

 to the fiain'dalis group. 



Botis octosignalis sp. nov. — Expands 20 mm. Head, palpi, shoulders and 

 antenna' light ochreous. Ahdomen white; fore wings light ochreous; costal 

 space and markings buff; basal line rounded, outer line sinuous, both even, with- 

 out dentations; orbicular obsolete, reniform like a lengthened figure 8, sometimes 

 solid; a faint subterminal fuscous shading; marginal line fine, buff; hind wings 

 white, faintly ochreous outwardly ; marginal line iine, brownish ; beneath, 

 nearly uniform white. 



One % two 9 9 , California, Texas. Seems to be near B. citrma 

 G. & R. 



Botis succandidalis sp. nw.^Expands 22 mm. Head ochreous ; palpi 

 ochreous above, white below ; autennfe dark ochreous ; thorax and abdomen 

 light ochreous ; fore wings light cream-white, without any markings ; hind wings 

 white, with a fuscous shading outwardly ; fringes white ; beneath, fore wings 

 fuscous, hind wings white; all fringes white. 



One S , Black Hills, D. T. Probably not rightly placed in Botls, as 

 the clypeus has a somewhat prominent cylindrical tubercle, flat on end. 



BotiS Testalis sp. nor. — Expands 30 mm. Head, thorax and fore wings 

 reddish ochreous ; hind wings of same color, but thinly scaled and pellucid at 

 base ; all wings without markings ; beneath, as above, smoother, and a shade 

 more ochreous.

 orbicular and reniform on fore wings, indistinct black, the latter annulate ; be- 

 neath, dark fuscous ; hind wings light towards base, and fore wings along inner 

 margin; lines well marked, bi'oader than above, but not so definite; orbicular 

 and reniform distinct on fore wings; discal spot on hind wings; all blackish. 



Three males. Sierra Nevada Mountains, California. In some 

 specimens the lines are broader and the violet color is lost. Near 

 B. niveicilkdu Grote.

 orbicular and reniform dull black ; a subquadrate, dull white, spot between ; no
