BoTYS FUSCOMARGiNALis, n. sp., Plate III., fig. 4. 



Pale straw colour, clouded with fuscous-brown, especially on the outer 

 margins of all the wings. Primaries : basal line, which is curved and slightly 

 angulated near the costa brown, as also are two discal spots, and the 

 elbowed and sharply angulated central line. Secondaries with two brown 

 lines, the basal slightly curved and interrupted, the central twice angulated, 

 and terminating before the inner margin. Under surface similar to above 

 but lines less distinct. Expanse, 29 mm. 



One example taken by myself at Hakone in August, 1886. 

 BoTYs MANDARiNALis, n. sp., Plate III., fig. 14. 



Golden yellow. Primaries broadly bordered on the costa and outer 

 margin with brownish purple, stigmata represented by a dark dot, followed 

 by a <s-shaped mark, a dark basal band, a short wavy line running from 

 the middle of inner margin to the centre of wing, and a short line descending 

 from the costa, near the apex. Secondaries paler about the disc, with a short 

 dark central band, and broad brownish purple outer marginal band, which 

 latter does not reach the anal angle. Under surface paler, legs and pectus 

 white, palpi brown, fringes golden yellow. Expanse, J^ 29 mm., 5 28 mm. 



I took this species at Nagahama and Tsuruga in July, 1886, 

 and also received it from my native collector. Ningpo, July. 



BoTYS iNORNATALis, n. sp., Plate III., fig. 13. 



Pale straw colour, with a slight tinge of grey, very silky, entirely with- 

 out markings, fringes silky white. Under surface more dusky, especially 

 aboutthediscofprimaries, and with a faint central band. Expanse, $ 30 mm., 

 ? 31 mm. 



I took a male in Satsuma in May, and a female at Sakata in 

 August. 



BoTYs cuRVALis, n. sp., Plate III., fig. 3. 



$ . Pale oehreous brown ; primaries with a slightly oblique basal line, a 

 discal spot, and a submarginal line, the latter starting from the costa runs 

 first in the dh'ection of the outer margin, then curving inwards descends 

 below the centre of the wing, where it again changes its course, and falls 

 vertically, terminating on the middle of the inner margin. Secondaries with 

 an undulated dark central line. Fringes rather darker. Under sui-face : 

 primaries fuscous-grey, secondaries paler ; discal spot and lines as above. 

 Expanse, 30 mm. 



Allied to B. damoalis, but can be separated at once from that 

 species by the different character of the submarginal line of pri- 

 maries, and central line of secondaries. 



One male taken by native collector at Ningpo in June. 



BoTYs NiNGPOALis, n. sp., Plate III., fig. 1. 



c^. Primaries fuscous-brown; a pale yellow quadrate spot about the 

 middle of wing towards costa, followed by a large kregular-shaped blotch of 

 the same colour, beyond which are two colon-like dots ; central portion 

 of costa orange. Secondaries fuscous-brown, rather paler along inner 

 margin. Under surface a paler reproduction of upper. Anterior tibiae 

 yellow. Expanse, 32 mm.
