Apparently a common species. I have also seen it 

 from South Africa, and it is abundant in Java.

My tridentalis is the same as otreusalis, Moore, but 

 the figures given in the Tydschrift are inexact in many 

 points. The fore wings are too brownish, the base of 

 hind wings too pale, the fringes erroneousl}^ white, the 

 palpi of the ^ scarlet (!). As to the formation of a new 

 genus by Mr. Moore, this is perfectly right ; but the 

 chief argument for it is the peculiar character found on 

 the costa of the male fore wings, and figured, I. c., f. 15, 

 as in other respects the species is a regular Botys. With 

 Mr. Moore, I also do not believe that this species is the 

 Botys lihceoyteralis of Guenee. It occurs, however, also 

 in the West Indies ; I have it from Curacao.
