DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF EUPITHECIA FROM 



EASTERN AMERICA. 



BY GEO. W. TAYLOR, NANAIMO, B. C. 



I. Enpithecia Winnata, n. sp. 



Expanse, 25 mm. 



This species is about the size of and superficially somewhat like 

 Eupithecia Youngata, but the fore wings are longer and more pointed at 

 the apices, the hind margins straighter and the tornos less rounded. 



The colour is a rather bright brown. 



Palpi short, rather stout. Head gray, with a slight brownish tint, 

 paler between and behind the antennfe. 



Thorax and abdomen above the colour of the wings ; dorsal line on 

 abdomen indistinctly marked by pale dots on segments ; ist segment 

 pale ; no black band on 2nd segment. 



Fore wing rather bright brown, the central and submarginal areas a 

 little darker. Basal lines very indistinct. Central area bounded rot by 

 lines, but by a lightening of the ground colour of the wing. There are, 

 however, two series of black dashes on the veins, one set representing an 

 intradiscal line and running outwards, and the other set representing the 

 extradiscal line and running inwards. These dashes extend almost across 

 the central area in some cases. Beyond the median band is a paler stripe 

 divided into two by an indistinct brownish line. The submarginal area 

 is broad, bisected by a wavy white line ; this line runs in three sharp 

 scallops from costa to vein 6, then in slight waves parallel to hind margin 

 to vein 3, and thence in a conspicuous acute scallop to the tornos. Mar- 

 ginal line black, interrupted. Fringe paler than submarginal area, with 

 darker spots at the ends of the veins. Discal spot small, lengthened, 

 distinct. 



Hind wing paler, very light at costa, dark smoky on inner margin. 

 Traces of lines, the most conspicuous being the extradiscal, showing as 

 dots on the veins. A fairly distinct zigzag white submarginal line ; mar- 

 ginal line and-fringe as on fore wing ; outer margin flattened and indented 

 at vein 5 ; discal spots very indistinct. 



Beneath, much paler ; discal spots on all wings large and conspicu- 

 ous ; two extradiscal lines, broken into venular spots on all wings ; 

 submarginal line on fore wing, faint, slight traces of other lines on hind 

 wing ; marginal lines and fringes as above,
