THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 277 



2), was probably a specimen of what in this paper I have called coagulaia, 

 Guenee, and the other, a female (Plate viii, fig. 3), would, therefore, 

 become the type and take the name of geminata, but that the name is 

 preoccupied by the Eupithecia geminata of Grote and Robinson. Under 

 these circumstances, I propose the new name Packardata for geminata, 

 Packard, part, and as Packard's description will not apply in its entirety, 

 I have redescribed the form below. 



Ejtp. Packardata, new name. 



= E. geminata, Pack, not Grote and Robinson. 

 = absynthiata. Pack., Monograph, not Clcrck. 



Expanse, 27-30 mm. Males rather smaller. 



Palpi rather large and coarse, very dark gray. Head paler than 

 thorax, which is gray, with a brown shade, darker in front. Abdomen 

 with a very distinct black transverse band on second segment. 



Fore wings colour of thorax, costal spots not as heavy as in coagulata, 

 the most distinct being the basal, intra-discal and extra-discal. This last 

 is the largest, and is preceded by two smaller ones. Each of these spots 

 marks the commencement of a fine line appearmg only as dots on the 

 veins, but in very perfect specimens the lines can be traced right across 

 the wings. 



The basal line is much curved, and reaches almost to the base on the 

 inner margin. The intra-discal is almost straight, meeting the inner 

 margin at right angles. Sometimes two other lines are visible between the 

 basal and intra-discal lines. The three extra-discal lines are parallel, 

 curving out from the costa to pass the large elongated discal spot. 



The submarginal space is a little darker than the rest of the wing, and 

 is sometimes bounded inwardly by a fine line parallel to the extra-discal. 

 The submarginal while line is not so evident, and the twin spots are not 

 so large and conspicuous as in coagulata. A dusky marginal line, scarcely 

 interrupted at the ends of the veins ; fringe long, obscurely spotted. 



Hind wings well rounded, a little lighter in colour than fore wings, 

 discal spots very small. The wings are crossed by numerous dark wavy 

 lines, about nine of these lines being sometimes visible; submarginal white 

 line very faint, marginal line and fringe as on fore wings. 



Under side of fore wing quite clear from base to extra-discal line, 

 except for a single dark extra-basal spot on the costa, which does not 

 correspond with either the basal or intra-discal costal spots of the upper 

 side, but has a position between them. The discal spots, the extra-discal, 

 submarginal and marginal markings are as above, but fainter. Hind wings,
