THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 81 



Fore wing long, pointed, outer margin not very full, very slightly 

 angled at vein 4, ground colour light brown, with the lines and shadings 

 blackish. Basal area and up to the median line (which runs through 

 prominent black discal spot) blackish, all the lines being indeterminate. 

 Median area, from median line to the extradiscal, clear brown, giving the 

 appearance of a band across the wing. Extradiscal double, straight from 

 costa to vein 8, then at a sharp angle outwards to vein 6, then in a regular 

 curve to vein i, and thence in a straight line to inner margin. These 

 lines are followed by a narrow pale space. Submarginal area blackish, 

 divided by a very fine wavy submarginal white line, and interrupted 

 between veins 3 and 4 by a brown cloud extending to the margin. 

 Marginal line black. Fringe short, brown, spotted with blackish. 



Hind wings pale, except at extreme base. Three or four black 

 extradiscal lines begin on inner margin, but rapidly fade away as they 

 cross the wing. A submarginal darker shade. Discal dots small, round, 

 faint. Fringe as on fore wings. 



Beneath, abdomen and legs nearly white. Wings very lightly scaled. 

 Discal spots distinct. On fore wings two extradiscal lines are faintly 

 reflected. On hind wings one basal and three fairly distinct extradisca 

 lines can be traced from margin to margin. 



Described from three specimens. One taken at Ottawa, 28th June, 

 1906 (Arthur Gibson). This is the one from which the description is 

 mainly drawn. A second specimen was received from Mr. W. D. 

 Kearfott, and was doubtless taken in New Jersey. The third was taken 

 25th June, 1906, at Winchendon, Mass., and is in the collection of Mr. L. 

 W. Swett. 



Eupithecia Quebecata, n. sp. 

 Expanse, 21 mm. 



Thorax, abdomen and fore wings above, bright brown. Basal line 

 black, running at a sharp angle to submedian vein, and then back at a 

 right angle to the inner margin. Intradiscal line exactly parallel to the 

 basal, running from the costa until it almost reaches the discal spot, and 

 then at a right angle to inner margin. Two median fine wavy lines, one 

 running through angle of intradiscal and the other through the black discal 

 spot. Extradiscal line very pronounced, dislocated at subcostal vein, 

 sending out conspicuous black dashes inwardly along the veins. Beyond 

 the extradiscal is a pale space bounded by a dark line parallel to the
