at costa by a jet black spot and there is a similar spot above the discal 

 dot. Terminal line black, cut at veins. Secondaries with extradiscal out- 

 lined in dusky dots on veins. Within these, at inner margin, appear 

 two or three more faint dusky lines. Terminal line continuous black. 

 Body and abdomen at base pale drab, the latter dark at tip, with a 

 lateral black band on central segments. Legs dusky. 



Type One male, taken at San Miguel, Colo. (Oslar), in 

 author's collection. 



Eupithecia limnata, new species. 



Expanse, 22 to 24 mm. 



Palpi long, not bushy, dark yellow-brown, tipped with paler. Wings 

 broad, not much produced apically, thin in texture, with margin round- 

 ed ; in secondaries, a little flattened below vein 6. Antennae yellow- 

 brown, stout, heavily biciliate, in male the fimbriae long and silky. Front 

 pale yellow-brown, with a few dark-brown scales intermixed, vertex 

 paler and without the dark central spot generally present in olivacea 

 Taylor. All above yellow-brown, mottled with dark-brown scales. 

 A broad band of the same color crosses thorax in front, and some 

 examples are marked along costa with blotches of same. Abdomen 

 with tufts and a fine lateral line of black, second segments sometimes 

 darkened above with brownish scales. Three pale lines cross the 

 primaries, the first narrow, rounded from costa to inner margin, is 

 close to base, and the basal area enclosed is wholly dark brown. A 

 broader pale line crosses at one-third out, angulate below costa, where 

 it widens, and then irregularly to inner margin, its outer boundary line 

 marked with dark brown scales, heaviest at costa. The extra discal 

 pale line is most distinct, with a sharp outward angle below costa, 

 its course thence almost straight, with an inward slope to inner margin 

 two-thirds out, its inner boundary line of dark brown scales wavy, with 

 an outward scallop between the veins. The central portion is thus 

 clearly defined by these dark brown irregular cross-lines. Submarginal 

 space broad, traversed centrally by a broad, wavy pale line, clear white 

 sometimes, ending in a large white blotch near anal angle. Fringes 

 long, as in all of the filmata group, of ground-color, cut with paler 

 between veins, as is also the narrow black terminal line. Secondaries 

 same as primaries, but more thinly scaled basally. The dark brown 

 scales predominate along inner margin, and outline partly across wing 

 the extradiscal pale line, and the beginning of the intradiscal. All lines 

 lost before reaching costa. Discal dots on all wings large, linear, jet- 

 black, and black dashes mark the veins brokenly. Beneath all parts as 

 above in color, but paler, the extradiscal pale line evident, bordered 

 inwardly by a narrow dark brown line and outwardly by a broad shade 

 line of same, much waved on its outer border, limited apparently by
