Eupithecia luteata n. sp. 



More luteous on the fore wings than usual. Palpi rather stout, 

 hairs scarcely as long as usual ; front dark cinereous ; thorax and ab- 

 domen dark cinereous. Fore wings cinereous, with darker scales, es- 

 pecially on the costa, and towards the apex, the base of the wing is 

 crossed by dark diffuse lines ; discal dot larger, more diffuse than 

 usual ; beyond is a broad luteous band, very diffuse and irregular, but 

 free from dark scales, and still beyond is a submarginal diffuse blackish 

 band ; fringe as ugual. Secondaries with a dusky discal spot ; edge 

 of rino- black ; fringe long, cinereous, interrupted by narrow dusky 

 spots ; inner margin of the wing with blackish scales, gathered just 

 beyond the discal dot into a faint diffuse line, disappearing towards 

 the middle of the wing. 



Length .35 ; fore wing .42 inch. 



Caribou Island, Straits of Belle Isle, July 14, 1860. 



This species is much larger than several allied forms from Maine, 

 and the discal dot is more diffuse and larger, the space beyond lute- 

 ous, more clear from dark scales, while the anterior two-thirds of the 

 hind wings arc clearer. 



Beneath, the discal dot is distinct, on the fore wings being black, 

 linear ; with an outer slightly sinuate line ; a little dusky on the costa 

 and outer edge. On the hind wings a dusky line, more distinct than 

 above. Legs pale, as usual.

Two varieties occurred in abundance at Caribou Island in July. 

 One of the forms is common in Maine, the other was one half white ; the 

 black spots are partially obsolete, and this variety has never been de- 

 tected south of Labrador, so far as I know; but I should agree with 

 Dr. Staudinger in considering it.a simple variation. 



Coremia labradorensis n. sp. 



$ . Allied to C. projmgnata, but the antennje are much more 

 finely ciliated. Palpi as usual. Body dark cinereous with black scales, 

 and some of a slightly reddish tinge. Abdomen with a pair of ob- 

 lique diverging black streaks on each ring. Base of the wing brown; 

 beyond, a broad cinereous band ; a broad, brown mesial patch ; the 

 inner side regularly curved outwards, not zigzag, but with the edge 

 entire, with a broad, black line; in the middle of the band two
