costa beyond the middle and another before apices. Terminal 

 margin banded with lead color, widely above, narrowly below 

 vein four. The lead colored fringes twice interrupted with white 

 on the interspaces between veins two and four. Hind wings 

 with three large marginal leaden patches, one on internal margin, 

 another at anal angle, a third at apices. Outer edge narrowly 

 leaden. A pale apical fleck. Beneath the markings repeated. 

 Primaries orange ; the ground color on each side of the leaden 

 triangle at apices becoming pale. Hind wings with the orange 

 color of upper surface replaced by pale clay, a basal dot, two dis- 

 cal dots and superposed costal mark on the pale ground color, dis- 

 tinct. Above these are indicated less distinctly. Wings at base 

 touched with carmine, the costa of fore wings shaded with red. 

 Body pale, head and collar touched with red. 



Expanse 32 mil. One specimen (867). 



BOTIS VOLUPIALIS. Grote. 



A fresh specimen (No. 877). In this species the fore wings 

 are colored like Signatalis, crossed by two broad clay lines. The 

 inner angulated sub-medially ; the outer broader, even, nearly 

 straight. It differs decidedly from its ally in this respect, but is 

 similarly sized and almost as highly colored and pretty a species. 

 Body and hind wings much as in its ally. My original specimen 

 came from the hills west of Denver. Botis August alls is nearer 

 Vohipialis than Signatalis, while quite different from either. 



BOTIS TORALIS. n. s. 



Fore wings olive yellow, with a broad terminal vinous border 

 and a basal patch of same color. Thorax yellow olive. Head 

 touched with red. Hind wings thinly scaled, pale fuscous. Be- 

 neath pale fuscous ; apices of fore wings touched with wine color. 

 Fringes wine-red. On the primaries, beneath, a dark s. t. band 

 and discal mark are indicated. This species hardly looks like a 

 Botis, it is similarly sized with Ventralis. (No. 872). Expanse 

 26 mil. 



Among the species collected by Prof. Snow in Northern New 

 Mexico are Botis Fracturalis Zeller (880), Allectalis Grote (884,- 

 885), Tatalis Grote, (878). All these were described from Texas 

 originally. There is also a specimen of Emprcpes Novalis (881), 

 •much larger than my Texan type.
