This species is near to H. insignificata Taylor, but appears to be 
quite distinct. | 
The type is a single specimen taken by Mr. J. W. Cockle, at Kaslo, 
22nd April, 1905. It is in my cabinet. 
Eupithecia scelestata, n. sp. 
Expanse 18-20 mm. 
Palpi stout, rather long. 
The whole upper surface is dark fuscous grey, the wings being 
crossed by many very indistinct lines. None of these lines are traceable 
right across the fore wings; but the beginnings of several of them are 
marked on the costa by fine dashes. The extra discal line and another 
line parallel to it are the most plainly indicated, and between them on 
the costa is a pale.space. The two lines run straight out from the costa 
to vein 8 where they are dislocated—reappearing nearer the hind margin 
as dashes on veins 4, 5 and 6. A submarginal pale line is indicated. 
The marginal line is black. The fringes are long, the colour of 
the wings, with faint spots at the ends of the veins. Discal spots black, 
lengthened. 
Hind wing, colour of fore wing, with indications of numerous lines 
on the inner margin—the lines not in any case traceable across the 
wing. The discal dots are minute points. Beneath, the fore wings 
are smoky grey, lightly scaled. Two extra discal lines as above, but 
very faint, are visible half way across the wing. The discal points are 
smaller and fainter than on the upper side. 
Hind wings, crossed by five distinct lines, two of which are extra 
discal, two intra discal, and one median running through the discal spot, 
which is larger and more distinct than on the upper side. Described 
from four specimens, all taken at Kaslo, by Mr. J. W. Cockle, and dated 
21st April, 2nd May and 3rd May, 1905, and 4th May, 1903. These 
are in my collection; but there are other co-types in the collection of 
Mr. Cockle.
