GEOMETRID NOTES— NEW VARIETIES 



BY L. W. S VETT, BCSTJN, MASS. 



Cleora pampinaria var. nubiferaria, n. var. 



Expanse 29 mm.; palpi very short. Fore wings smoky 

 black with line running from inner margin up to vein a 1, then along 

 the vein for about 3 mm., where it stops. In the centre of the fore 

 wiags on the median vein there is a dark line, especially broad at 

 the vein, where it curves upward at right angles to the costa. On 

 the outer fourth there is another band parallel to this, which runs 

 from the median vein to costa just beyond the faint black discal 

 spot. These lines are practically the same as in normal pampinaria 

 but the black colourings of the wings render them indistinct. 

 There is a very distinct white zig-zag line running parallel to the 

 outer margin from costa to inner margin with a long white pro- 

 jection near M2. The fringe is quite long and black with points at 

 base. The hind wings are of the same smoky colour as the fore 

 wings, with a faint extra-discal black line, which shows as black 

 points on the veins. The discal spot appears as a ring and 

 touches the extra-discal line. There is a trace of an irregular white 

 line near outer margin. The outer edge of the wing is slightly
