[TAYLOR] NEW SPECIES OF GEOMETRIDAE 201 
Antenne of male, dentate fasciculate, the cilia at least twice as 
long as in the other described species of the genus. Thorax dusky; 
abdomen, pale yellowish brown, with an admixture of fuscous scales 
dorsally and a pair of faint fuscous dots on each segment. 
Fore wing, dark smoky grey, crossed by a number of whitish wavy 
lines, of which two are extra basal, one is intra discal, one (double) 
extra discal, widening on the costa, and one very distinct and evenly 
scalloped is submarginal. There is a dark marginal line. The fringes 
are yellowish white with smoky spots at the ends of the veins. 
The dark median area of the wing is lightened between the costa 
and the discal spot, which is large and round and very conspicuous. 
Hind wing, colour of fore wing, with extra discal and submarginal 
pale lines and indications of a third line between the two; fringe as 
on fore wings; discal dots very small. 
Beneath, as above, with all the markings reproduced, except the 
basal and intra discal lines on the fore wings. Type, one male specimen, 
Taku River, B.C., Mr. T. Bryant, 11th October, 1906. This specimen 
is in my cabinet; but there are several co-types in the collection of Mr. 
Bryant. 
Eupithecia minorata, n. sp. 
Expanse 17 mm., being the smallest B.C. species so far character- 
ized. 
Palpi short, dark grey. 
The whole insect is of a dark leaden gray colour, with the markings 
very obscurely indicated. 
The usual lines on the fore wings are nearly all of them obsolete, 
although the type is in good condition. 
A submarginal white line is, however, fairly distinct, and the 
commencements of two blackish lines, one just in advance of, and one 
just behind the small round discal dot are marked on the costa. 
No lines can be traced on the hind wings, and the discal dots are 
reduced to mere points. 
The fringes are of the same colour as the wings and are faintly 
spotted at the ends of the veins. 
Beneath, all wings are smoky grey, a little lighter than above, and 
almost clear of markings. A very faint extra discal line, and a dark spot 
on the costa just beyond this line, are visible on the fore wings; and 
on the hind wings there are traces of 3 or 4 dark lines (two of them 
being extra discal) and there is a distinct marginal black line. There 
are minute discal points on all wings. - The abdomen beneath and the 
Jegs are concolorous with the wings.
