48. Botys prcepandalis, nov. spec. 



A dozen specimens of 22 — 29 mm. expanse. 



The proper place of this Botys is evidently between the 

 European hyalinalis and jpandalis ; it is, however, in the male 

 sex devoid of the peculiar character displayed by the last-named 

 species (upper side of fore wings'^ in the male with a groove at the 

 base of the upper median vein, covered by a flat crest of scales). 

 Besides, the ochreous yellow colour of wings and body, though, 

 generally speaking, the same, is, in fresh specimens, more vivid ; 



■•'• Not liind wings, as Lederer erroneously states (Wien. Ent. 

 Mon., vii. (1863), p. 365).
