11. Ptochophyle apicirubra spec. nov. 



(J, 21 mm. Head and body ochre-yellow. Antennal shaft spotted with 

 red ; pectinations black. 



Forewing rather short and broad, with costa scmewhat arched ; areola 

 moderately long, SC shortly stalked bejcnd, M' well separate ; ochre-yellcw, 

 with scattered rufous dots in places (chiefly at base, proximal half of costa, 

 across middle of wing and in tornal region) ; a large apical patch (at costa about 

 4 mm. ; terminating on hindmargin at M') ; brick-red mixed with dragon's- 

 blood-red and blackish and containing a few dots and spots of the ground-

SuBFAM. LARENTIINAE. 

 13. Eupithecia subscriptaria spec. nov. 



?, 20 mm. Head and body concolorous wth wings. Palpus nearly twice 

 diameter of eye ; more heavily irrorated (thus appearing fuscous) except the 

 first and a part of the second joint beneath. Fore and middle legs infuscated 

 on one side, except the extremities of the joints. Abdomen above slightly 

 belted with brown, but less markedly than in the European scriptaria Freyer. 



Forewing dirty white, mostly rather closely irrorated with fuscous, leaving 

 clear, or almost clear, the wavy transverse markings ; at costal margin the 

 irroration is somewhat condensed into ill-defined spots at the commenctment of 

 a rather well-marked subbasal hne, a vague narrow band succeeding it, part 

 of the median area (proximally to the cell-dot) and a postmedian hne ; the 

 broadest and clearest white band arises at nearly one-third costa, is bent in ceil 

 and behind fold, the middle part of its course being strongly cbUque inward, 

 and separates the proximal from the median area ; ill-defined whitish lines 

 traverse the median area, those about and beyond the cell-dot being the thickest 

 and most conspicuous ; the double postmedian dark line which Hmits this area
