New Species of Geometridse. (No. 4.) 

 By (}e(J». D. Hulst. 



Heterolocha? Snoviaria, sp. nov. 



Expands 28 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen ocher, the al^domen sh"j;htly 

 lighter than the other parts. Antennte smoky ocher. Fore wings deep ocher, loosely 

 and somewhat irregularly dusted with dark brown specks. A dark fuscous, almost 

 black line, rather irregularly scalloped, loeginning on costa just within apex and 

 reaching the inner margin two-thirds out from ba>e ; the points of the scallops are 

 turned oulwaid, and each one has in its sinus a while space forming thus a broken 

 white line. The dark scalloped line is distinct on outer edge, indistinct on inner, 

 and fades gradually into the ground color. Discal point Hue, black. Fringe whitish 

 with indistinct smoky spaces between the veins. Hind wings white, with a laint 

 ocher tinge, immaculate. Beneath much as above, Vnit with surface smoother, more 

 indistinct, the outer space on fore wings lighter, the inner more fuscous. 



1 (^, N. Mex. The insect was received b\' me from Prof. F. H. 

 Snow of the University' of Kansas in whose honor I give it its specific 

 name. He stated that it was not a unique, but I am not aware how 

 many other specimens he may have. 



Eois parvularia, sp. nov. 



Expands 12 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen dull fuscous brown. Wings clay 

 white overlaid with fuscotis. A faint basal cross line, a more decided cross line on 

 the outer space, beginning three-fourths out upon the costa and reaching the inn.'r 

 margin two thiids out. This line is slightly bent, strongly wavy. This is followed 

 by a band of even width of a color somewhat darker than the general color of the 

 wing. . Discal points faint. Hind wings small with the lines and bands of the fore 

 wings continued. Beneath as above, with the outer band a little more marked.

Eois ? scintillularia. 



Expands 10 mm. Head dusky ferruginous. Thorax and abdomen dark smoky 

 ocher, the abdomen with indistinct darker annulations. Fore wings brownish, 

 overlaid with dove color to jiist beyond black discal point where the color terminates 

 in a faint lerruginous line lunning parallel with outer margin; another faint sub- 

 marginal line of the same color. Space beyond the first line yellowish, somewhat 

 clouiled. Hind wings reddish brown at base, slightly washed with dove color, 

 reaching to discal spot, which is dark indistinct ; the rest of the wing yellowish with 

 a curved bright narrow line just beyond discal point, and a broad line or narrow 

 bund of the same color in submarginal space parallel with outer margin. Beneath 

 the same general markings repeated in fuscous a'ld light ocher. 



I (^, Fla. Presented to me by Mr. Wm. Beulenmiiller. This in- 

 sect is jirobably the smallest of all our Geometers. It is decidedly pretty 

 and peculiar. I place it provisionally in Eois, although it is generically 

 distinct from anything I knt)W.
