Tliis Sjjecies is from Texas, and represents, as we stated, the 

 European Fidonia fasciolaria in our Fauna. Our comparative 

 remarks are so accurately repeated in the course of Professor Zel- 

 ler's full description, that it is to be regretted the Professor had 

 evidently not seen our illustration of the North American species. 



I am indebted to Professor Hagen, of Cambridge, for a copy of 

 the first part of Professor Zeller's writings on Xorth American 

 Moths, received by me while engaged on the present article.

Halitat, Brewsters, N. Y. (coll. C. T. Eobinson). I am inclined 

 to refer this species to the present genus, and to place it near Botis 

 plectilis, Grote and Robinson. I accept Professor Zeller's corrected 

 writinsf of the sreueric name. 



Botis badipennis, Grote, Plate 2, fig. 12 ? . 



f, 5 . — Palpi ratlier long and narrow, projected, a little dejjendent, not por- 

 rected. Chestnut brown, varying in depth of tint. Ornamentation simple. 

 On the primaries there is a continued blackish slightly arcuate transverse 

 anterior line, distinct, slightly notched before internal margin, and more deeply 

 inwardly on costa where the line is narrower. A large diffuse blackish stain 

 suffuses the discal reniform spot, extending downwards below median nervure.
