292 W. D. KEARFOTT. 



Hind wing: — Very pale fuscous or whitish, shaded with darker fuseous out- 

 wardly; cilia whitish, preceded by a dark fuscous line Abdomen fuscous above, 

 paler beneath, anal tuft oclireous. Legs dark fuscous, annulate with white. Ex- 

 pause 12 to 13 mm. 



From % and 9 European specimens. 



Botrana is different from all of the American species in having 

 the large subterminal patch rounded outwardly and resting against 

 the lower half of the outer margin, while in viteana and allied spe- 

 cies this patch is distorted and broken by spurs of ground color ; in 

 all the American species a well defined spur enters the patch just 

 above the anal angle, in .some .species separating the patch from the 

 outer margin. Botrana is a much paler or generally lighter colored 

 species than viteana. The basal area and inner half ashy grey, 

 crossed by narrow olive green fascia at first quarter and two short 

 ones from dorsum before it. The olive-green central fascia is not 

 unlike an outline map of South America, with Brazil pointing 

 towards apex, but with stem that would represent the Isthmus going 

 vertically to costa. The hindwings are very much paler than viteana.

Head, thorax, palpi light brown, specked with darker brown, lower and outer 

 sides and tips of palpi and posterior thoracic tuft dark brown. 



Fofewing: — Ground color, lilaceous-bluc) middle fascia and large spots brown, 

 overlaid with much black. Costal spots lighter brown. A dash of white about 

 middle of outer third. 



Base to middle fascia lilaceous-blue, inner fascia almost obsolete, represented 

 by a narrow band of black scales, each fringed with light brown, from dorsum 

 but not reaching costa by a quarter, three small spots and two small ones between 

 them of brown-black scales on costa before middle fascia. And in the same space 

 on dorsum four black dots, tiie dorsal margin narrowly overlaid with light fus- 

 cous, brown and black scales, causing a mottled appearance. 



The middle fascia is evenly convex on its iuTier edge, and is of almost even 

 width throughout, except at about middle of wing, the outer edge curves down- 

 ward and outward at right angles to the baud, and their turns abruptly upward 

 to costa (in the curve thus formed rests the white oblique patch) from outer end 

 of this branch the outer line of fascia continues inwardly oblique to costa, 

 slightly indented, the lower half of fascia triangular. Color smoky-black on 

 upper half, a small patch of same at one-thiid above dorsum, otherwise smoky- 

 brown, lightest at dorsum. Before anal angle is a triangular brown spot. Above 

 the angle an irregular rounded blotch of brown and black, indented at its lower 

 outward corner by a spur of the ground color, its outline also broken by a spur 

 of ground color on its outer upper edge. Apical spot flatly triangular. Ground
