spot anally below vein 2. Terminal line black, broken at veins. Fringes 

 long, same color as wings, checkered. Secondaries paler basally, only 

 intra- and extra-discal lines crossing them, the latter most distinct 

 and parallel with outer margin. Discal dots round, black, a little ob- 

 scure. Subterminal white line not so clear as in primaries, but the 

 large white spots between veins 3 and 4 and at anal angle are well 

 marked. Beneath all wings grayish ashen, the white lines reproduced 

 as above and broader. On primaries, two or three darker patches at 

 costa indicate the beginning of shade lines which fade out before 

 reaching middle. Subterminal space darker. The extra discal, a series 

 of indistinct dashes on veins as above, is clearer on secondaries, rounds 

 out about discal spot to a point between it and inner margin, then wavy 

 to margin. Discal dots more definite than above, black. Body beneath 

 and legs white, with tips of tibiae and tarsi barred with dark gray. 

 Abdomen beneath clear white, a lateral black streak on segments 3, 4, 

 and 5 and in the male a little dusky at tip. 



Types Male and female in author's collection. The male 

 taken IV, 13, 06, at New Brighton, Pa., by Mr. H. D. Merrick, 

 the female at Big Indian Valley, Catskill Mountains, VI, 23, 07, 

 by the author ; a cotype female was captured IV, 30, 03, by Mr. 

 H. D. Merrick at New Brighton, Pa., and is in the Merrick 

 Museum. A single female specimen captured many years ago 

 in North Carolina (no date) by Mr. Morrison, it is supposed, is 

 in the collection of the Brooklyn Institute Museum, New York, 

 and has been made a cotype. These are the only examples 1 

 have knowledge of at present. The species seems uncommon, 

 and closely resembles \oungata Taylor, but is a shade smaller. 

 It is readily separated from it by the long palpi, by the biciliate 

 antennae of the male and by the white abdomen beneath ; which 

 in voungata is a sooty black at tip. Through the generosity of 

 Mr. F. A. Merrick I have been permitted to retain the male, 

 which I have constituted a type in order that I might keep 

 before me its structural peculiarities. 



Eupithecia albigrisata, new species. 



Expanse, 18 mm. 



Palpi moderate, rough-scaled, dark gray. Front and vertex dark 

 gray, the scales large, silky. Thorax dark gray, white posteriorly. 

 Fore wings, pale silver-gray, a shade darker along costa and subtermi- 

 nally. From base to subterminal space the wings are crossed by 

 about eight fine gray lines, indistinct except at costa and internal mar- 

 gin, this entire space having a whitish appearance. A broken line of 

 black scales starts from cloudy spot on costa, just within discal dot 

 and touching it, turns backward and runs along vein beneath cell to
