22. Botisprofundalis Pack., Aun. N. Y. Lye. 261, 1873. 



California. I have examined Dr. Packard's type. The exterior line 

 makes a broad submedian sinus, which seems to be characteristic. 



23. Botis hadipennis Grote, Bull. B. S. N. S. 1, 88, pi. 2, lig. 12. 

 Maine ; New York ; Michigan, in August. 



24. Botis tatalis Grote, Can. Ent. 9, 106. 

 Texas (Belfrage, No. 659, October 7). 



25. Botis allectalis Grote, Can. Ent. 9, 107. 

 Texas (BeUrage, No. 445, May 12). 



26. Botis alMceraUs, n. s. 



(?. Male antennae simple, pubescent beneath. Palpi extended for- 

 ward, fully as long as the head. Head and appendages and thorax 

 pale ocheroas. Fore wings gray, with an ocherous costal patch from the 

 base outwardly, extending downward on the middle of the wing and 

 absorbing the stigmata, narrowly defined by a brown line. Anterior 

 line obsolete. Posterior line near the margin denticulate, narrow, 

 whitish, bordered with dark gray, outwardly bent superiorly, but not 

 flexuous. Subterminal line very near the margin, follomed by two apical, 

 narrow, brown teeth ; terminal space ochery ; a fine, brown, terminal line j 

 fringes pale, interlined. Hind wings pellucid whitish, stained outwardly 

 with ocherous ; a continuous, denticulate, extramesial line, not flexed ; 

 fringes pale. Beneath largely pale ocherous; abrowndiscal lunule on 

 primaries; a common, denticulate, extradiscal, brownish line, accentu- 

 ated on costa. Expanse, 26 mil. Colorado Rio, Prof. Townend Glover; 

 one specimen. This species resembles somewhat B. allectalis in colors, 

 but is larger, and may be known by the ocherous costal patch of pri- 

 maries absorbing the reniform, which appears as a brown stain near its 

 outer edge. This costal patch is neatly edged with a brown line back 

 to the place of the anterior line, where it narrows to base of wing. 



27. Botis mustelinalis 'P-Ack., Ann. N. Y. Lye. 262, 1873. 



Boiis catenulalis Grote, Can. Ent. 9, 105. 



California. I have compared Dr. Packard's type. 



28. Botis fodinalis Led., 369, taf. 8, fig. 9. 



California. I have examined several <? 9 specimens from Behrens and 

 Edwards. It varies in size, distinctness of lines, and color. 



29. Botis socialis Grote, Can. Ent. 9, 107. 



My two specimens (Canada and Buffalo) are females. They are 

 brighter-colored than fodinalis, the subterminal band on primaries more 

 distinct, the spots solid and more evident, the primaries more red, the 

 secondaries more yellow. Smaller than most of my California /of^maZis^ 

 I yet think they will prove the same species.
