discal dot in a sharp curve, thence in waves basally toward inner margin 

 close to intradiscal. The geminate extradiscal, with a sharp angle below 

 costa, runs parallel with this line, its inner boundary line well marked 

 and heaviest at costa. Discal dots small, oval, jet black, encircled with 

 white scales. Subterminal white line not traceable in male, except as 

 a white spot, and clustering black scales about it, between veins 1 and 2 

 at anal angle, in female, distinct, with clear white anal spot, having 

 some black scales about it, and also in scallops of central portion. Sec- 

 ondaries pale yellow-brown, dusky along border. Inner margin flecked 

 with black scales, and showing the commencement of extradiscal and 

 intradiscal lines, neither of which cross the wing. No discal dots. 

 Terminal lines black. Fringes dusky, a pale line at base, centrally 

 darker. Beneath uniform pale-yellowish, the extradiscal pale line 

 outlined by black scales outwardly as points on veins. Discal dots 

 nut clear but apparent, linear on primaries, small round dots on second- 

 aries. Terminal line black, cut at veins, and the fringe darkened at 

 these points. Body, legs, and abdomen beneath dusky, the latter paler 

 with black lateral streak on second segment. 



7'v/V Male from Denver, Colo., and female from Chimney 

 Gulch, Golden, Colo., V, 22, 08 (Oslar), with four cotypes 

 from same localities in author's collection. 



Eupithecia quakerata, nc\v species. 



Expanse, 21 mm. 



Palpi moderate, stout, bushy. Antennae stout, very shortly ciliate. 

 U'ings narrow, a little extended apically. Front, thorax, abdomen 

 above, and wings a uniform pale-drab, darkened along costa of pri- 

 maries, subterminally on all wings, and along inner margin of second- 

 aries by a few scattering black scales, dusted very thinly also over the 

 pale central portion. None of the usual cross-lines occur centrally, but 

 a single black hair-line runs straight from costa to inner margin, a 

 little waved, and with a very small angle at costa, crosses the usual 

 location of discal dot and entirely obliterates it. The clear white sub- 

 terminal line, scalloped between veins, forms above vein 2 a large white 

 blotch, surrounded by clustering black scales, thence in a narrow line 

 to anal angle. Terminal line black, narrow, continuous. Fringe same 

 as ground-color, having central dusky line. Secondares without discal 

 dots or lines, showing only at inner margin the inception of geminate 

 extradiscal. At anal angle a small clear white dot, and black scales 

 below vein 2. Beneath pale drab, narrowly dusky along outer margin 

 of wings. Discal dots dear on all wings, linear, black. On primaries 

 four indefinite dusky lines cross wing outside discal dot, the two outer 

 enclosing the pale extradiscal, curving outward without angle, and 

 disappearing when half across. The inner ol these lines is marked
