404 THK CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Front and vertex grayish white; antennae dark gray, slightly thickened 

 in the male. 



Thorax smoky gray ; abdomen above, white. 



All wings pale gray, with numerous dark gray striations. 



Fore wing crossed by two scalloped blackish lines ; the intra-discal 

 consists of four scallops rounded outwardly ; this line has its origm on the 

 costa, nearer the base than usual, and reaches the inner margin about 

 one-third out from base. The extra-discal line leaves the costa about 

 2 mm. from the apex, and reaches the inner margin at about double that 

 distance from the anal angle. It consists of a series of scallops, rounded 

 inwardly, but produced outwardly as points or dashes on the veins. The 

 scallops between veins i and 2, and between veins 4 and 6, are much 

 "larger than the others. There is no marginal line; the fringe is concolorous 

 with the wing, with dusky points at the ends of the veins. 



Hind wing similar in colour, but with only the extra-discal line 

 present, 



Discal spot, on fore wing lengthened, on hind wing an indistinct 

 point. 



Beneath paler; space between vein 2 and the inner margin of fore 

 wing quite clear of striae ; discal spot and extra-discal line faintly indicated 

 on the fore wing, the line showing most strongly in three black spots 

 below costa ; the dots on the fringe at the ends of the veins are blacker 

 and much more distinct below than above. 



This species is well figured (except as regards the antenn?e, which are 

 quite incorrect) in Packard's Monograph, PI. xi, fig. 33. 



I have described it from six specimens, all taken at Wellington, and 

 dated June 20th to August i6ih. The earliest specimen, a male, is 

 indicated as type. 



A female specimen from Mt. Cheam, P). C., given to me by Dr. 

 Fletcher, differs in having all the cross lines bordered with a dusky shade, 

 and in being brown instead of gray in all markings. 



All the types referred to in this paper are in my own cabinet. 



Eupithecia Yoimgata, n. sp.* — Expanse, 25 mm. — Palpi not very 

 long, bushy^ blackish.
