Eupithtcia compactaia, n. sp. — Kxpanse, 24 mm. 



Palpi short and sloui. Upper surface wholly daik gray. 



Fore wing rather long and narrow ; four or five wavy lines in ihe 

 basal area; intradiscal dark and heavy on the costa, running out at a right 

 angle to the costa as far as the ctll, then m a fine wavy line to inner 

 margin. Median space darker except for a pale cloud which precedes the 

 linear black discal spot; a vcty faint median bne includes the discal ^pot, 

 and a second similar line, between it and the ixiradiscal, is parallel to the 

 first. 



The discal space is bounded outwardly by a double pale line, which 

 makes a rather sharp angle opposite the discal, and runs thence in an 

 almost straight line to the inner ma-gin. being subpara lei to t le outer 

 margin. Submarginal space the same bhade as the median It is bistctcd 

 by a conspicuous wavy white line, which terminates in a large V on vein 2. 



Ilind wing same colour as fore wing, clear of markings, except traces 

 of lines on the inner margin, and a very faint discal point. Marginal 

 broken line on all wings. Fringes long, spotted. 



I'.eneath, fore wing lightly scaled, smoky ; lines on the upper side 

 indicated by dark spots on the costa ; submarginal line and discal spot 

 faintly reflected. 



Hind wing gray, with a faint discal point, and a basal and two extra- 

 discal brown lines marked by dashes on the veins. 



The under side of this sj)ecies bears a close resemblance to that of E. 

 Lag^^anata, described in this paper, but on the upper surlaces the two 

 insects seem sufficiently distinct. The type is a single female taken at 

 Windermere, Upper Columbia River, British Columbia, by Mr. V. \\. 

 WoUey I)od, on the 13 VII, '07, and generously given to me. 



I have lately seen a specimen taken by Mr. C. H. Young at Fuchulet, 

 on the west cost of X'ancouver I-land (16 VH, '09). whi«:h looks rather 

 like /i. compactata^ but I cannot be (juite sure of its being conspecific. 



Eupit/iecia Spaidingi, n. sp. — Kxpanse, 21 mm. 



This is a rather obscurely marked species, but it is possible that if 

 my type specimen was in better condition the markings would appear 

 more definite. 



The whole upper surface of the wings is gray, overlaid with scattered 

 black scales. 



.\ll the margins of the wings are very straight, and tlie fore wings are 

 narrow and pointed.
