77. Botys resfrictalis, nov. spec. 



A male of 36 mm. expanse. 



Allied to scinisalis, of the same size, general colour, and pattern 

 of design ; the labial palpi also recurved, narrower than the eyes, 

 smooth, with short but distinct terminal joint. The body, how- 

 ever, is a little stouter, the basal area of fore wings extends farther, 

 at the costa beyond one-fourth, at the inner margin beyond one- 

 third. As the second line is at the same distance from hind margin 

 as in scinisalis, the central area is narrower, especially its inferior 

 half, and it is also entirely warm ochreous yellow. Palpi and head 

 brownish grey. Antennae setaceous, ciliated (i), but much shorter 

 than in scinisalis, where the ciliation is 1|. Thorax rubbed. Abdo- 

 men brownish grey with whitish venter. Shape of wings as in 

 scinisalis, the basal area lustrous brownish grey, its upper part 

 obliquely limited, the first line hardly perceptible; central area 

 warm ochreous yellow, strongly narrowed below the discoidal cell 

 there, and with parallel sides, the inferior parts of the first aud 

 second lines being nearly straight, not oblique, as in scinisalis. 

 Discal marks as in the allied species, rather smaller ; central area 

 with a protruding part at the bases of cells 3 and 4, as in scinisalis, 

 but this is concolorous, not paler ; third area lustrous brownish 

 grey, with a warm ochreous suffusion near the costa. Basal third of 

 hind wings ochreous, not whitish, as in the allied species, suffused 

 with grey, and with a dark grey spot ; remainder of the wing and 

 the fringes lustrous brownish grey. Under side of wings grey, the 

 basal half whitish, limited by a distinct, flexuous dark grey discal 

 line with dark grey discal spots, the orbicular of fore wings reduced 

 to a point, and the space between it and the reniform concolorous, 

 not white, as in scinisalis.

Botyodes fratevna, Moore, Desc. Tndian Lep., p. 221, 

 pi. 7, f. 16 ; S. & C, No. 4037. 



This species is no Botyodes, Led., the antennte being 

 normall}' formed.
