walshiit), and the right half with the terminal caudal spot 

 extended up the sides of the tail (aja.v telamonides) . The ac- 

 companying photograph is of this individual, now in my col- 

 lection. It will be noticed that the apex of the left fore wing 

 is apparently not fully developed : the reason for this may also 

 be the cause of the bi- formation. 



The other figure is of a specimen of Eudamns tityrus with 

 the yellow spots suffused over the apical area of the forewing. 

 It was caught by me in a garden in Charleston, S. C., June 

 29, 1897, in company with a large series of normal specimens 

 of the same species and its peculiarities were not noticed un- 

 til it was afterwards expanded. On the under side of the 

 hind wings the silver-white spot, large in the normal form, is 

 reduced to a mere dash along the base of the cell, and an 

 isolated faint mark at right angles to and touching sub-costal 

 vein opposite base of cell. 



Eastern Eupithecias. 



BY RICHARD F. PEARSALL. 



Eupithecia catskillata n. sp. 



Expanse 16-17 mm. Palpi long, rather heavy, dark brown, the tips 

 white. Antennae silvery, annulate with pale brown, shortly ciliate in $ . 

 Vertex and front with dark brown and gray scales mixed. 



Thorax with band of dark brown crossing it in front centrally by 

 a narrow pure white band not always present; the scutellar region 

 tipped with a conspicuous spot of white scales. Fore wings broad, well 

 rounded, pale gray tinged with yellow brown. A dark area at base, 

 crossed by a series of faint lines a little darker, is limited by a double 

 pale line which leaves costa above discal spot, sweeps outward in a 

 bold curve quite around and touching it, and in another broad outward 

 curve reaches inner margin one-half out. This line is broader and 

 clearer than the extra discal pale line which is also present, and, 

 angled outward below costa, runs parallel with it. rather nearer the 

 margin than usual. Between them a dusky shade line, is marked with 

 short dashes on veins. The subterminal white line very obscure and 

 narrow, except at anal angle where it forms a broad lunule curved in- 

 ward. Discal dots oval, distinct, black. Below discal dot, at end of 

 cell, is a small patch of yellow scales present in all of my examples. 

 Subterminal space dark like basal area, frosted costally at apex with 

 white. Marginal line usually entire, black. Fringes long pale gray with
