Botis Iiircinalis, n. s. 



This species is allied to the European B. oprtcalis of the Alps, and B. nerealis 

 of the plains. It differs from the former in the width and shape of the shade 

 band of the primaries. Fore wings bright olivaceous over black, without 

 markings except that the narrow pale ochery shade which follows the exterior 

 line is here alone apparent, comparatively narrow, more sinuous than in opa- 

 calis and less diflf'use, showing that the exterior line has a different conforma- 

 tion in the American species. Fringes blackish with pale tips. Hind wings 

 unicolorous blackish, fringes paler, whitish outwardly. Head and collar deep 

 ochery ; thorax olivaceous. Beneath pale ochraceous, primaries mostly dusky ; 

 hind wings with subterminal and discal dusky shades not rayed as in opacalia.

Botis niveicilialiS) n. s. 



A blackish species allied to Mrcinalis, with pointed apices to the primaries 

 and snow white fringes to both wings. Fore wings concolorous dusky black- 

 ish, with the exterior line and discal dot very feebly indicated. The line is 

 however followed on costal region by a yellowish shade which becomes the 

 most conspicuous feature of the ornamentation of the wing. Beneath both 

 wings black with a faint indication of the costal shade. At the base of the 

 fringes a faint yellow stain may be noted. Body blackish ; the abdominal 

 segments very narrowly edged with pale ; beneath paler, whitish.
