NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 155 



white ; hind wings lighter along iuner margin and basally, with dark marginal 

 line : fringe light cinereons, dark fuscous at middle ; beneath, as above, somewhat 

 lighter in ground color, but with same markings. 



Two % % , Arizona. Unlike any species I know of, and perhaps 

 not a Botis. 



Botis scurralis sp. nov. — Expands 28 mm. In general coloration like B. 

 perrnbraUs Pack., but differing as follows : In perrubralis the ground is yellow 

 washed with red, and there are two fine red cross lines. In this species the ground 

 color is even canary yellow, and this color is immaculate, save by the faint discal 

 spot. In perrubralis the outer band is bright reddish brown, being darker next to 

 median space ; the costa is edged with the same color ; there is a broken yellow 

 marginal line, and the fringes are dark reddish brown. In scurralis the outer 

 band is clear pink, uniform ; the costal band is of the same color, ^jnd is much 

 broader than in perrubralis. There is no marginal line ; posteriorly there is a 

 fading of the pink into a broad subterminal band, and the fringe is fuscous, be- 

 coming yellow posteriorly. In perrubralis the baud on the hind wings extends 

 only two-thirds across the wing and in my specimens ends abruptly and is red- 

 dish fuscous. In scurralis it generally reaches anal angle and fades posteriorly 

 along margin into light ochreous. These differences in part hold good for the 

 under side. 



One S two 9 9 , Arizona. The species are nearly related, and 

 seurra/is may be a variety, but it holds its own in Arizona, and I 

 have seen no tendency to intergradations. 



Botis gnlosalis sp. nov. — Expands 34 mm. Palpi brownish ; head ochreous 

 fuscous ; thorax fuscous, much lighter posteriorly. Abdomen fuscous, somewhat 

 annulated with white, very light on first two segments ; an anal tuft fuscous at 

 base, light ochre at extremity ; fore wings fuscous, somewhat iridescent ; a me- 

 dian basal spot; a white subcostal line reaching out from base nearly half the 

 length of wing ; orbicular and reniform present, with white space before, between 

 and following them ; an outer black line, sinuous, edged outwardly with whitish, 

 which is broken into rather large spots by the blackish veins, each of these spots 

 dentate outwardly and there edged with black ; two corresponding spots within 

 the outer line in the bottom of sinus ; apex ochreous, rounded ; margin black ; 

 fringe light fuscous, white at outer angle ; hind wings semi-hyaline with basal 

 line angulated at middle ; outer and submarginal lines very dentate ; all lines 

 fuscous, submarginal space with an ochre shading ; margin black, fringe white ; 

 beneath generally lighter, but with a broad, dark, fuscous, marginal band. 



One % , New York. This insect is not properly a Boti.-f, but like 

 a few above, and some to follow. I can find no satisfiictory home 

 for it in any genus after a study of Lederer and other systematists. 

 In many cases I have not been able to make a complete examination, 

 in view of the scarcity of material, and the fact that, very unfortu- 

 nately, nuich of it is not my personal property.
