line. Submarginal space narrow gray. No brown line, but centrally 

 tiaversed by a broad, wavy, white line as on primaries. Marginal line 

 and fringe as on primaries. Discal dots barely visible. Beneath the 

 primaries are dusky, the intra and extra discal and a central submargin- 

 al line as above, dark and well defined. The central broad, pale band 

 and the geminate pale lines, outside extra discal, are clear white. 

 Secondaries more dusky, the lines as above darker, but crossing wing 

 entire, the extra discal with a strong outward curve about cell, the 

 central space and geminate lines clear white. Body, legs and abdomen 

 beneath white thickly sprinkled with dark brown and gray scales. 

 Discal dots larger and distinct on all wings. 



Types $ and 2 taken at Eureka, Utah (Spalding) V. 9, '09 

 and V. 10, '09. Cotypes from same locality 10 $ and 3 9 V. 

 6 to 30, '09, all in author's collection. I have compared this 

 species with m-nltiscripta in wing shape and style of markings, 

 but the pale central band with its spur to apex would mark it 

 as an intermediate form between that species and acutipennis 

 Hulst and allies. 



It is easily identified by this peculiarity and by the bright 

 brown bands on primaries. 



Eupithecia incresata n. sp. 



Expanse 18-20 mm. Primaries somewhat produced at apex outer 

 margin strongly sloping inward, the anal angle falling much within the 

 outer curve of secondaries which are rather long but well rounded. Palpi 

 moderate, bushy dark brown. Vertex, front and thorax dark brown 

 and gray scales mixed. Antennae brown, stouter and faintly black 

 ringed in. $, flattened and shortly ciliate ; slender and without rings 

 in 9. Abdomen clothed above and beneath with yellow and dark 

 brown scales mingled with whitish. Basal segments above, nearly 

 clear white. No black ring on second, though in the $ the dorsal 

 tuft is enlarged giving that appearance otherwise they are small, 

 black. Body and legs grayish white, thickly sprinkled with dark brown. 

 All wings above gray, thickly sprinkled with dark brown 

 and blackish scales. In $ there is strongly apparent, a washing of 

 yellow brown, costally and subterminally on all wings, in 9 not so 

 distinct. In both the covering is soft, without definite lines. Basally 

 there is a darkened area, outlined by a faint intra discal line which, 

 crossing costa above discal point suddenly curves outward around and 

 beneath it, thence in waves to inner margin over one-half out. Extra 

 discal indicated by a few black dashes centrally on veins, and by a dark 

 spot on costa. Basally on costa, along median vein, and on vein one,
