NOTES ON SOME OF THE GENUS EUPITHECIA. 119 



on its outer portion, with a dark line near the base dilated 

 into dark dots opjDosite the extremities of the longitudinal 

 veins. Body griseous, slightly varied with darker scales. 

 On the middle of the posterior margin of each abdominal 

 segment a small pale dot, preceded by a dark semicircle. 

 Antennae slightly luteous. 



Eup. FRAxiNATA, Crewe. 



Expanse of anterior wings in a full-sized specimen lOJ lines 

 (English measure). These wings are of a more uniformly 

 brownish-grey colour than in the preceding species. The 

 black markings and pale undulated strigae always very faint 

 and indistinct, but in number and position similar to those of 

 Jnnotata. Frino;e more uniform in all the wing^s. The 

 w'hite strigular sub-apical W, so distinct in the previous 

 species, is here very faint, and sometimes scarcely visible. 

 Disc of hind wings much darker ; anal portion less strongly 

 marked, especially towards the body ; the dark and pale sub- 

 apical strigae can in fact only be traced with difficulty, though 

 their position is clearly shown by the somewhat more decided 

 markings at the anal a:jgle. 



The above descriptions were taken from a very fine pair of 

 E. innotata bred and sent me by M. Zeller, and an equally 

 fine pair of E.fraxinata bred by myself. 



Description of Larva of Eup. innotata, Hh. 

 Ground colour pinkish-grey. Central dorsal line dull 

 purplish red, or rusty brown, connecting a series of well- 

 defined top-shaped blotches of the same colour. Dorsal 

 blotches margined by a number of lateral white stripes. 

 Each lateral segment ornamented by a largish orange-red 

 and dusky purple spot. Spiracular line white. Back and
