EUPITHECIA PERFUSCA Fllst. 



This species was limited by Taylor to the one represented by the 

 type 9 from Utah in the National Museum (C. Ent. XL, 58) which 

 he and Dr. Dyar seemed to regard as conspecific with an obscurely 

 marked species common at Kaslo and Wellington B. C. After a study 

 of this type we are in some considerable doubt as to whether this 

 identification is correct; the type is a very immaculate specimen with 

 less rounded apex of primaries and a distinct black band on the abdo- 

 men and runs closer to slocaiiata Tayl. than anything else we know 

 of ; more study, especially of Utah material, will be necessary to settle 

 the status of perfusca; the whole group is one of the most difficult 

 of this difficult genus. 



EuPITHECIA ANNULATA Hlst. (PI. XXII, Fig. 9). 



The species was described from a single specimen of doubtful 

 locality, probably California; a study of the type at Rutgers College 

 has convinced us that the species is the same as that described later 

 by Pearsall as limnata from Vancouver Is. material. 



EuPITHECIA FLEBILIS Hlst. 



This species from Alaska and lagganata Tayl. are very closely 

 related and in fact a comparison of the types failed to show us any 

 marked points of distinction ; in view however of the wide divergence 

 of the type localities it might be well to keep the two names separate 

 until longer series establish firmly their exact relationship. We figure 

 the type of lagganata Tayl. (PI. XXII, Fig. 5). 



EuPITHECIA FORTUNATA Pears. (PI. XXII, Fig. 6). 



We believe this name must fall to obumbrata Tayl. ; the type 

 localities Golden, Colo., and Victoria, B. C, are wide apart but the 

 species with its dark secondaries marked much as the primaries is 

 easily recognized and rather striking ; it is apparently a northern species 

 extending down the Rockies and the Pacific Coast. 



EuPITHECIA FAsciATA Tayl. (PI. XXII, Fig. 7). 



This name will fall to catskillata Pears, which has a couple of 

 years priority; two of the types from Ottawa and N. J. are before 

 us and we have seen the third type from Mass. in Coll. Swett ; they
