base, also extending along vein 2 nearly to margin. Extra discal pale 

 line crosses costa, then makes a sharp angle outward, and curves inward 

 gently to inner margin, divided by a hair-line of gray, its outer section 

 being pure white. Subterminal space with central pale line not white, 

 crenulate, and its course parallel with extra discal pale line. A dark 

 gray spot outside it at anal angle. Marginal line distinct, black, cut at 

 veins. Discal dots large, linear, black. Fringe silver-gray, long, clouded 

 at veins. Secondaries with about five fine gray lines, indistinct, except 

 the one just outside discal dot, which is darkened and diffuse. From 

 base to subterminal, which is a shade darker, the wing is whitish in 

 color. Marginal line and fringe as in fore wings. Discal small, round, 

 distinct. Beneath pale silvery gray, with all lines broken into dots. 

 Extra discal pale line on fore wings evident. A dark line runs from 

 costa to discal dot, with a dark shade line outside and parallel to it, 

 darker and broader at costa. Discal dots as above. Abdomen with first 

 segment whitish, second dark gray, the rest pale gray, with tufts dark 

 gray. Legs dark gray. 



Type One male from Atlanta, Ga., May, 1905; collection 

 of author. The type is very thin in wing texture, but is in 

 good condition. 



Eupithecia fortunata, new species. 



Expanse, 15 to 17 mm. 



Palpi short, barely visible beyond front dusky-slate tip and beneath 

 white. Primaries somewhat extended at apex, broadly rounded, sec- 

 ondaries full, rounded margin slightly flattened between veins 3 and 6. 

 Antennae slender, barred, dark gray and white; in the male shortly 

 ciliate. Head and all parts above dark slate, evenly mixed with whitish 

 scales, soft and powdery in appearance, the latter clear white in a 

 spot at posterior of thorax, along sides, and a line along dorsum of 

 abdomen, a spot at terminus of vein 2 on primaries, the termination of 

 a very indefinite subterminal line, and forming on primaries, basal, 

 intradiscal and extradiscal geminate cross lines, the two latter only being 

 present on secondaries. Basal line on primaries leaves costa one-third 

 out, and with a small angle, curves irregularly to inner margin a little 

 nearer base than on costa. Intradiscal makes a sharp outward angle at 

 costa above and enclosing the round, jet-black discal dot in male, pass- 

 ing just outside and touching it in the larger female, thence straight 

 across wing, in general direction, but having at vein 1 a small sharp 

 outward angle. Extra discal leaves costa three-fourths out and almost 

 without angle sweeps boldly outward in a curve, approaching intra- 

 discal above vein 2, where it makes a corresponding outward angle 

 before reaching inner margin, well within tin- definite anal angle. 

 Between these lines and the broad subterminal space the color is darker
