of black dots on the veins more or less distinct. Basal line much 

 broken, beyond it a pale line divided centrally by a fine darker hair line. 

 Median line, also broken, turns from costal blotch toward discal dot, 

 then in waves straight across wing. Extra-discal makes a sharp angle 

 at costa, then rounds out opposite cell, and with slight inward curve 

 reaches inner margin two-thirds out. Beyond this a pale line, strongly 

 angulate at costa, centrally divided by a pale gray hair line, runs 

 parallel with it across wing, succeeded by a gray shade line, more or 

 less distinct which sometimes ends in a dusky spot at anal angle. Sub- 

 marginal white line much waved, not very clear, and lacks the promin- 

 ent white double dots of misernlata at the anal angle. Hind wings 

 with inner margin showing the inception of five cross lines, those at 

 base darkest, only two of which cross the wing extra-discally enclosing 

 the broad pale line, which is continued from forewings in a curve sub- 

 parallel with margin. Fringes long, pale gray, darker basally at end of 

 veins. Marginal line obscure, dark gray broadly cut at veins. Discal 

 dot on forewings large, round, prominent black ; on hindwings small, 

 obscure. Beneath, a clear silken gray; the discal and extra-discal with 

 its succeeding pale line across all wings. On hind wing, the median 

 line makes a sharp outward angle at cell touching discal dot at its apex 

 Basal line also evident, the entire series of lines composed of dots on 

 veins. Marginal line heavier and discal dots distinct on all wings. Body 

 beneath and legs whitish. 



Type . Big Indian Valley, Catskill Mts., July i, '06. 



Type- 9 . Bronx Park, New York City, June 23, '04, in 

 the collection of R. F. Pearsall. 



The species is evidently double brooded, and resembles mise- 

 rnlata, but is smaller, the males being easily separable by their 

 slender shortly ciliate antennae, the prominent round discal dots 

 on fore wings, and absence of yellowish scales on thorax and 

 head. 



Twenty-four males and females, co-types, taken in Bronx 

 Park, April 25 to May 4, and in Catskill Mountains, July 2 

 to August i. 



Eupithecia filmata n. sp. 



Expanse 17-18 mm. Palpi long, rather stout, dark brown. Vertex and 

 front smooth with yellow brown and white scales mixed. Antennae pale 

 yellow brown, annulate in the tf heavily biciliate. Thorax above dark 

 brown, pale at centre. Abdomen above and beneath, with dark brown 

 and whitish scales mixed, rough ; the first segment pale, the second 

 dark brown, tufts black. Forewings broad, somewhat cxtrmli d at apex,
