322 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



2. Hind wings with distinct lines, 

 i. Second line of fore wings from three-fifths of 



costa . . . . . . . . , . . . cequalis. 



ii. Second line of fore wings from near three-fourths 



of costa . . . . . . . . , . . . abruptalis. 



A. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs not more than 



half inner. 



a. Antennae of male evenly ciliated (J — g). 



Botys salentialis, Snell. 



Botys salentialis, Snell., Tijcl. v. Ent., 1880, 207 ; ib., 

 1863, pi. vii., 1. 



As noticed by Snellen, the description of Guenee's 

 Botys fur n a calls comes very near this, but he distinctly 

 states the middle tibiae of the male to contain a long 

 pencil of hairs, which is not the case in this species ; I 

 have not been able to identify Guenee's species, which 

 he gives as Australian. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; three specimens on lamps 

 in February. Also from Celebes and Java. 



Botys incoloralis, Gn. 



Botys incoloralis, Gn., 332 ; B. melonalis, Walk., 702 ; 

 Spilodes nitetisalis, ib., 773 ; S. dasconalis, ib., 

 773 (nee Ld.) ; Botys alhidalis, ib., SuppL, 1411; 

 B. ruficostalis, Ld., Verb. z. b. G. Wien, 1855, 

 217, pi. iii., 4. 



I have seen a specimen of Lederer's rnficostalis, 

 probably authentic, in Zeller's collection ; it is certainly 

 this species. Lederer's identification of Walker's dasco- 

 nalis is quite erroneous, according to his figure ; I am 

 not aware that this species occurs in North America. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; two specimens received from 

 Mr. G. Barnard. Also occurs in Celebes, Java, India, 

 and West Africa. 



h. Antennae of male ciliated with tufts of cilia (1|). 



Botys phceopteralis, Gn. 



Botys plumpteralis, Gn., 340 ; B. otreusalis, Walk., 

 637 ; B. triarialis, ib., 639 ; B. ncloalis, ib., 643 ; 

 B. ahstrusalis, ib., 663 ; B. pharaxalis, ib., 725 ; 

 B. immundalis, ib., Suppl., 1448.
