angle as far as the middle of cell, where it turns sharply downward and 

 somewhat basally in a wavy line to inner margin, fading out as it pro- 

 gresses. From costa a little beyond this a short black line runs outward 

 and joins the upper end of the prominent jet black linear discal spot. 

 The extra-discal a little broader and black at costa, crosses it, curves 

 sharply outward with a short, rounded curve at vein (>, turns backward, 

 touching lower end of discal spot, thence direct and fading out as it 

 runs to inner margin in a waved line. The gemina.te pale line outside 

 this is apparent across wing, a little clearer costally, and is bordered 

 outwardly by a faint dusky line. Submarginal space, a little darker, 

 richer brown, is broad, and a very faint trace of the pale line may be de- 

 tected. Marginal line on all wings black, broken between veins. 

 Fringes long, with pale line at base, otherwise color of wings, but dark- 

 ened by a mixture of dusky scales; secondaries show a faint trace of 

 the pale geminate line, bordered at inner margin by broad, dusky lines 

 which fade out at wing center, the outer one filling the space at anal 

 angle. Basally on inner margin are the apparent beginnings of two other 

 very faint cross-lines. Discal dots faint, dusky brown. Beneath the 

 primaries are paler than above, with costa and apices darkened. Only 

 the extra-discal line can be traced across wing, and the inception of 

 extra-discal as a dark spot on costa. Discal spots as above, but fainter. 

 Secondaries whitish, thickly and evenly sprinkled with brown scales, 

 leaving the geminate pale line nearly clear of scales and bordered with 

 narrow dusky lines, the inner quite distinct and crossing wing, rounding 

 outward in a curve just outside the jet black discal dot; marginal line 

 and fringes as above. Body beneath and legs soiled white, sprinkled 

 with dark-brown scales. Abdomen heavy, the second segment above 

 faintly darkened by a few black scales. 



Type: No. 13362, male, from Monterey, California, was 

 reared from larva on cypress (No. 5598), the winged form 

 appearing December 5, 1892; is in U. S. National Museum; 

 apparently close to longipalpata Pack., and may be the near 

 relative he refers to in that description. 



Eupithecia bindata, new species. 



Expanse, IB mm. 



Palpi short, stout, bushy, brown. Head rather broad, vertex and front 

 brown and gray scales mixed. Antennae slender, flattened, and slightly 

 ciliate in both sexes. Wings long and narrow, produced at apices, 

 but outer margins well rounded. Thorax and abdomen above dark 

 brown and gray mixed, the former whitish centrally and with scutellar 

 region broadly so, the latter with white dorsal stripes on first three or four 

 segments, not very definite ; second segmentsomewhat darker brown. All 

 wings above grayish, thickly sprinkled with dark scales, the secondaries 

 but little paler. On primaries about five clusters of dark scales equidis- 

 tant mark the whitish costas from base to extra-discal line and brokenly 

 along the principal veins. The wing area within extra-discal is appar-
