discal parallel to these lines and not paler than central space, which is 

 somewhat clear from markings. Subterminally darker, having between 

 veins 4 and 6 a faint patch of black scales and also subcostally at apex 

 a few pale brownish- scales are apparent within the terminal narrow 

 black line cut at veins. Subterminal white line much broken ; clearer at 

 anal angle. Fringes pale, dark at base. Secondaries with lines as on 

 primaries, the geminate pale line running parallel with and near to 

 outer margin, the rest straight across wing from inner margin to costa, 

 where they become indistinct. A central clear space as in primaries, 

 but with its outer boundary line traversing the discal dot, which is a 

 mere point. A black triangular patch at basal inner margin. Beneath, 

 pale silvery-gray, the lines above clearly reproduced, those bordering the 

 geminate extra discals darkest. Discal dots jet black, distinct on all 

 wings. Body beneath, legs and abdomen white, sprinkled with gray and 

 brownish scales, the latter blackish at top. 



Types 5 IX, 2, 07 and $ IX, 8, 08, from Prescott, Ariz. 

 (Kunze), and cotypes in author's collection from same locality; 

 also in collection of Mr. J. A. Grossbeck. 



Genus EUPITHECIA Curtis. 



Eupithecia exudata, new species. 



Expanse, 16 mm. 



Palpi short, stout, bushy; dark brown, with a few paler brown scales 

 on upper ridge. Antennas stout, tufted with black along upper side so 

 heavily as to appear serrate, much compressed, very shortly biciliate. 

 Front and thorax yellowish-brown, a dark brown band across former 

 at center, the latter with a small whitish scutellar spot. Abdomen 

 stout, clothed above with coarse scales in dark and pale brown, becom- 

 ing grayish at tip. First segment pale, second nearly black. Tufts well- 

 developed black. Primaries produced at apex, margin nearly straight. 

 Secondaries small, the apex extended, outer margin retreating and 

 much rounded. Primaries yellowish brown, darkened along costa 

 and subterminally, with a heavy sprinkling of black scales. These 

 also mark the veins in short dashes, rather sparingly. Two pale 

 whitish dashes across costa, one-third out, would indicate the be- 

 ginning of basal line, but no lines are apparent crossing the wings, 

 excepting the usual pale geminate line extra-discally. This line, 

 somewhat clearer whitish where it crosses costa, turns outward with 

 a slight curve, thence in a straight course, inclined basally to inner 

 margin well within the anal angle. Subterminal line, just perceptible, 

 soiled-whitish, ending at anal angle in a clearer white spot. Basally 

 this spot is made more distinct by a cluster of black scales. Terminal 

 line black, heavy, widely broken at veins. Fringes rather heavy, long, 

 brown, darker at base. Discal dots moderate, round, distinct black.
