THE CANADIAN KNTOMoUHilBT. 



Described from three specimens received from Mr. A. F.Winn, and 

 labelled Montreal, 29 V to 3 VI, '05. 



The last named specimen remains in my collection, thanks to Mr. 

 Wiun, and bears the type label. 



Eupithecia ^rata, n. sp. 



This is a very distinct species, and not likely when once seen to be 

 mistaken for any other in our fauna. 



Kxpanse, 25 mm. 



Palpi long, rather stout. The whole upper surface pale fuscous, with 

 cross lines of yellowish-brown. 



The fore wings are short and wide, with outer margins well rounded. 



Uasal line evenly curved. Intradiscal much nearer to the basal line 

 than usual, running outward at sharp angle from costa to cell, then back 

 in an even curve to inner margin. Median line broad, distinct, parallel to 

 inlradiscal, just missing the faint discal dot by making a sharp angle at 

 cell and running thence to inner margin in a wavy line. Extradiscal line 

 narrow and very finely scalloped through the whole of its length, in 

 general direction parallel to the median, but making a regular curve 

 instead of a right angle at the cell. Submarginal line parallel to the extra- 

 discal and of a like character. .*\ very faint marginal dark line. Iringe 

 long, faintly spotted. 



Hind wings dusky. Discal dot round, rather large, but faint. The 

 median and extradiscal lines of fore wing are continued right across the 

 hind wing ; no other lines are evident. Outer margin well rounded. 

 Fringe as in fore wing. 



Beneath, browner than above, discal spots and extradiscal lines on all 

 wings ratlier distinctly reproduced. There is also a fainter median line, 

 including the discal dots on each wing, and an indistinct submarginal shade. 

 The type specimen is in faultless condition, and was taken by Mr. 

 C. H. \'oung at Ottawa on June 5, 1906, and though unique, has been 

 most generously placed in my cabinet. 



Eupithecia Gibsonattf, n. sp. 



This is a species about the size and shape of Wmngata, IVinna/a and 

 Qutbecata, but it seems distinct from all three. 



Kxpanse, 25 mm. 



I'alpi moderately long, rather heavy. AVIjole upper surface, soft pale 

 brown with black cross lines. (Youngtxta is fuscous with pale cross lines.)
