1907J Description of Eupithecia Fletcherata. 201 



The median line, which is double, takes much the same direc- 

 tion, including in its angle the distinct, oval, black, discal spot, 

 and continuing in a wavy line to the inner margin. 



The extra discal line appears as a large black blotch on the 

 costa ; it then runs in a regular outward curve to vein 3, then 

 parallel to the median line to the inner margin ; this line is em- 

 phasized by a series of eight black dashes on the veins. 



Between the extra-discal and the submarginal lines are three 

 dark lines, showing only as spots on the costa. 



The submarginal line is faint, white, showing most plainly in 

 a white dot between veins 3 and 4, and another between 1 and 2, 

 Marginal line faint, black, broken at the veins. Fringe, basal half 

 darker ; dusky spots at the ends of the veins. 



Hind-wings dark grey ; the lines indistinct, but apparently all 

 the lines of the tore wings are continuous, the most evident being 

 the extra-discal and the submarginal ; the first-named consists of 

 black dashes on the veins (as on the fore wing) and so appears 

 broader than the other lines. 



Discal dot black, distinct. Fringe as on the fore wings. 

 Beneath, fore wings bright grey. Costa with black marks show- 

 ing the commencements of basal, median and extra-discal lines, 

 and with another dark blotch in advance of the faint white sub- 

 marginal line. 



The extra-discal line and a dark shade beyond it are traceable 

 across the wing to the inner margin, but the other lines can only 

 be followed for a very short distance trom the costa. 



Marginal line distinct ; base ot fringe pale, otherwise as 



above. 



Hind wings pale with 3 intra-discal lines marked on the costa 

 and again on the inner margin. 



There are also 2 extra-discal lines composed of distinct dots 

 on the veins. 



The outermost of these is parallel to the outer margin; the 

 other runs in a straight line from the inner margin, in the direction 

 of the discal dot, to vein 3, then in a regular curve to the costa. 

 These two lines are therefore not parallel, being rather close 

 together on the costa and farthest apart on vein 3. This is a 

 peculiarity that I have not noticed in any other eastern Eupithecia.
