AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 23 



Botys citrina, n. sp. (Plate 2, fig. 20, ? .) 



% 9 . Size, small. Bright ochre-yellow. Head and thorax ochre- 

 yellow ; labial palpi, browuish-ochreous laterally, beneath white. Legs 

 and under body surface, whitish, glistening ; anterior femora stained 

 with ochreous inwardly. Abdomen, above, whitish, with a yellowish 

 shade. Antennae, slender, long, testaceous. 



Wings, rather wide. Primaries, above, bright ochre-yellow, with 

 simple ornamentations. A distinct, deep ochreous, longitudinal shade 

 on costa, extending from the base of the wing to the inception of the 

 exterior transverse line, fading as it proceeds, and not equally distinct 

 in all specimens examined. An inner, regularly outwardly curved, 

 deep ochre-yellow, transverse line. Two similarly colored discal ordi- 

 nary spots. An exterior line, slightly oblique, and roundedly out- 

 wardly pi-oduced opposite the disc. Fringes, concolorous with the 

 wing. Under surface paler, especially along internal margin, where 

 the wing is whitish. The markings of the upper surface are here re- 

 produced more faintly and incompletely, but the costal shade stripe is 

 wanting. 



Secondaries, resembling primaries in color. At base paler, and as 

 well as along internal margin, somewhat whitish. A single, incom- 

 plete, deep ochre-yellow, oblique transverse line, corresponding to the 

 exterior transverse line of primaries. Fringes concolorous. On both 

 wings the extreme external edge appears narrowly deeper colored. 

 Beneath as above, but much paler, more whitish, evenly colored; the 

 single, transverse, incomplete line, is here reproduced. 



Expanse, 9 , 0.80; % , 0.70 inch. Length of body, 9 ,0.30; % , 0.35 

 inch. 



JFahitaf. — Atlantic District. (New York! Penna. !) 



Differs by its small size, bright color, simple ornamentation, and by 

 the costal darker longitudinal shade of the upper surface of primaries. 



Botys marculenta, n. sp. (Plate 2, fig. 21, 9-) 



9 . Size, moderate. Pale ochrey -yellow. Head and thorax, above, 

 ochrey-yellow. Labial palpi, dark ochreous laterally, white beneath. 

 Legs, and under corporal surface, obscure whitish, glistening; anterior 

 femora somewhat cinereous. Abdomen, whitish, stained with yellow 

 above. Antennae, long and slender. 



Wings, full, clear pale yellow, with obsolete ornamentations. Prima- 

 ries rather brighter colored about the base, but with a generally evenly 

 distributed coloration. The ordinary lines and spots are faint, but per- 

 ceptible, since they are traced in darker scales than the ground color of
