378 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



broken minute dots on veins to inner margin ; then a pale reddish-brown 

 band, outer edge of which is shaded heavily to outer margin of wing, a 

 pale white line runs near outer margin zigzag, but hardly discernible. 

 Fringe rather long and cinereous, with patches at end of veins. Hind 

 wings lighter basally, with four or five lines broken into dots on veins, 

 rounded across wings, discal spot much smaller and fainter than on fore 

 wings, where it is large and rounded, fringe checkered as on fore wings. 



Beneath : fore wings paler brown than above, extra-discal bands most 

 noticeable, bent in curves and not doited on veins as above. Hind wings 

 have three dotted lines, one basal, the other two extra-discal, the marginal 

 one being faintest. 



This species may be known by its long narrow wings, reddish-brown 

 cast on costa and patches, with large, round discal spot on fore wings. 



I name this species in honour of Mr. C. A. Frost, who has done 

 much in collecting material from Maine for my New England faunal list 

 of Geometridae, which I hope to publish shortly.

1 find, in examining the ty[)es of Packard's collection, that Eucyma- 

 ioge Strattojiata is not anticaria at all, but is a distinct species and is a 

 Etipithecia, so it will stand as Eup. Strattonata in our lists. Miserulata 

 was evidently unknown to Packard, as he has many species so listed under 

 that name. 



In studying his collection, I advise all to read over the original 

 descriptions, as many of his labels have been changed, and in some cases 

 the specimens are missing. 



Eupithecia Grossbeckiata, sp. nov. — Expands 16 to 18 mm.; palpi 

 about I mm., extending well beyond head; rough scaled, antennse 

 strongly ciliated beneath. Colour of fore wings ligiit fawn gray. A basal 

 line very faint, l)ut showing plainly by spot on costa, then inlra-discal line 

 very plain on costa, fading as it approaches inner margin on vein 2, 

 separated as if broken off, then runs to inner margin. Discal spols 

 prominent, somewhat linear and black. Extra-discal line represented by 

 large spot on costa, then elbows out towards outer margin at vein 9. and 

 bends back in gradual curve to vein 2, marked strongly on the veins as 

 dashes ; from vein 2 it runs in two scallops to inner margin. Beyond
