Lederer thought they might be wanting. The ocelli are present. The 

 males have a tuft above the long basal joint of the antennae ; this is 

 wanting in the females, a sex unknown to Lederer. 0. cariosa is red- 

 dish brown, with a row of pale dots along external border, and the 

 shortly dentate outer line is filled in by a similar row of dots, i^artly 

 continuous, which in Lederer's figure (the colored copies) are repre- 

 sented by a pale band. The color and other markings agree closely, 

 and the structural characters, which are suflQciently unusual, and I have 

 no doubt that Lederer's Ii^orth American specimens belong to the same 

 species as Professor Eiley's. I myself captured a female exam^Dle in 

 Alabama, which I thought a variety of Lederer's species, but am now 

 satisfied belongs to a distinct form. 



Omphalocera dentosa n. s. 



9 . A little larger than ccmosa, with quite a different color, being 

 dusty olive brown, without any reddish brown tinges. The median 

 space is dark blackish brown. The pattern of ornamentation is the 

 same, but the outer line is composed of well-defined and rather broad, 

 open teeth. The line is double, filled in by a pale shade, and is brought 

 a little nearer the margin over the median nervules than in cariosa. The 

 interspaces beyond the t. p. line show dentiform shadings of the lighter 

 and darker colors of the wing. The fringes are dark. The terminal 

 dots do not contrast as much as in cariosa. The veins are darker 

 marked. 0. dentosa has the under surface fuscous with a common ex- 

 ternal double line near the border, which seems a little less strongly 

 dentate than in cariosa. The abdomen is furnished with brown tufts 

 on the dorsum in both forms. In place of the discal mark (?) there is a 

 jyale dot on the subcostal vein and one below it on median vein, quite 

 distinct in cariosa, hardly evident in dentosa, which expands 40 mil. 



Botis capitalis n. s. 



A large species, pearly white, with the thorax shaded with iridescent 

 brown, and this dark color spreads over the fore wings at base and along 

 internal margin. Eeniform lunulate, very large, consisting of two thick 

 curved brown lines, not united at top. A series of three brown marks 

 on the interspaces of the median nervules just below and beyond the 

 reniform. The orbicular is far from the reniform, a rather small brown 

 ring, empty. The common exterior line is far from the cell and appears 

 to take the place of the s. t. line ; it is brown, irregular, lunate, distinct, 

 outwardly rounded below median fold, not carried back as usual. The 

 terminal line is marked by a broad shade at apices and so also on second- 

 aries. There is a brown annulus on disc of secondaries and a brown 

 line below it on internal margin which is here diffusely stained with 

 brown. Abdomen stained with brown above, with a brown dorsal line 

 and two white marks on the brown sub-basal segment. Beneath white ; 

 the reniform filled in on primaries, obsolete on secondaries. Palpi bi- 

 colorous, brown at tips ; white at base. Legs white ; lore legs marked
