Botys coecilialis Walker 1859;
Rhodaria probalis Walker 1859;
Rhodaria ocellusalis Walker 1859;
Rhodaria catenalis Walker 1866;
Rhodaria juncturalis Walker 1866;

Source of record: Gowdey collection, I.O.J..
Method of identification: illustrated in black and white (as'Pyrausta phoenicialis')
by Amsel (1956) pl. 100, fig. 8 (adult) and pl. 52, fig. 1 (genitalia).
Notes: Munroe (pers. comm., 1989) informs me that the species given as
'Pyrausta phoenicialis' in Gowdey (1926) is almost certainly this species, as
P. phoenicialis Hubner 1818 is North American.
