Menopon Jennings! Kellogg & Paine. 



A female specimen collected by W. M. Mann from a wild 

 guinea pig (Cavia cutleri), brought from Peru by Dr. W. E. 

 Castle. This is the second record of this peculiar species and 

 is of special interest, coming as it does from a wild form of 

 Cavia, thus more certainly establishing the guinea pig as its 

 typical host. The type is from the tame C. cobaya.

Eupithecias that appear to be undescribed (Lepid.). 



By RICHARD F. PEARSALL, Brooklyn, New York. 



(Continued) 



The following species I fear I have distributed to some of 

 my friends, under the name of multiscripta, Hulst. I had at 

 that time, a single specimen of the latter from Colorado, veri- 

 fied by comparison with the type, but I thought these were 

 possibly but a variation of it. Later, when more material 

 came to me from both localities, I found that we had in the 

 Southwest another large species, very like unto multiscripta, 

 in size, shape and color, which I have called 

 Eupithecia perillata, n. sp. 



Expanse 28-30 mm. Palpi long, stout, gray, tipped with white. Front 

 gray, bordered narrowly along orbits, and over clypeus with white. An- 

 tennae rather stout and ciliate in both sexes, gray, barred finely with 

 black.
