a submarginal, zigzag, brown line, and marginal row of intervenular linear 

 spots on the subtnedian space and inner edge; five lines only extending as lin- 

 ns the median vein. Beneath, the dusky discal dot and hand and submarginal 

 white line is distinct; wings checkered on the costa, with a submarginal 

 dusky band ; a marginal row of intervenular linear spots, and a dusky spot on 

 the fringe opposite the end of each venule; hind wings with five well-marked 

 lines, two beyond the discal dot.

It is allied to E. miserulata, but the wings are more russet-brown, and 

 the lines are more distinct; the extra-discal line is curved farther from the 

 costa, and the lines on the hind wings are much more distinct. It seems to be 

 the most common species in California, as abundant as our E. miserulata. 

 The submarginal line should be represented on the plate as waved. 



EUPITHECIA LONGIPALPATA, Sp. 11. Plate 9, fig. G. 



2 <?. — Palpi very long, much longer than in an undescribed species closely 

 allied to this; extending by a distance beyond the head greater than the length 

 of the latter; third joint long and slender, acute. Fore wings long, the apex 

 produced, but elongated ; outer edge very oblique; hind wings more pointed 

 toward the apex than usual. The moth is much of the form of rotundo- 

 punctata, but nearly twice as large, while the hind wings are more acute. 

 The color and markings are much as in that species. The fore wing is 

 crossed by about ten wavy black lines, but two double dark lines (sending a 

 slender point out into the discal space), situated half-way between the base 

 of the wing and the extradiscal prominent wavy line, are the most prominent 

 lines. This last line is bent sharply below the costa, and is followed by a clear 

 space. Half-way between the clear space and the edge of the wing is a sub- 

 marginal row of white dots, with a large V-shaped spot on the inner angle. 

 A marginal interrupted black line. Fringe pale-ash, checkered distinctly. 

 Hind wimjs with four well-marked wavy black lines, and a submarginal row 

 of white spots. Discal dots much smaller, more linear than in rotundo- 

 punctata; larger on the under side of the wings. Beneath both wings paler 

 than above, with an intra- and ext ra-discal broad blackish band, and on the 

 fore wings the margin of the wing is broadly shaded with blackish. On the
