the smaller form ; I have . not, therefore, considered 

 myself justified in following Mr. Edmonds in keeping 

 them separate. 



97. Eupithecia rosalia, n. s. 



Size and general coloration of E. satyrata of Europe, 

 but the lines across the primaries deeply waved in an 

 irregular zigzag form, most evidently towards the middle 

 of the wing ; a regular discal series of brown dots ; 

 secondaries with all the lines more defined. Expanse of 

 wings, 21 mm.

98. Ewpithecia sihylla, n. s. 



Silvery grey ; primaries darker than secondaries ; 

 markings in blackish grey (excepting the black disco- 

 cellular stigma of primaries), very similar to those of 

 E. vermiculata of Snellen (Tijd. v. Ent. xvii., pi. 6, fig. 1, 

 1874), excepting that the two more defined discal lines 

 are deeply sinuated beyond the cell, almost falciform, 

 and that the abdominal series of blackish lines on the 

 secondaries are continued across the disc to costa ; the 

 borders of all the wings are also dark grey, the sub- 

 marginal and marginal lines being thick and somewhat 

 diffused ; notwithstanding these differences and its in- 

 ferior size E. sihylla must resemble E. vermiculata not a 

 little. Expanse of wings, 21 mm.

99. Eiqnthecia nsta, n. s. 

 Allied to E. togata, but differing in colour, and with 

 all the lines sharply defined and very slender ; primaries 

 sienna-red at base, a white costal dash bounded on both 

 sides by blackish streaks ; an oblique subbasal narrow 

 sordid- white band enclosing a slender brown line ; central 

 belt sienna-red to the middle of the • interno-median 

 interspace, white below it, margined and traversed by 

 darker red-brown lines ; disco-cellular spot oblique, 

 oblong, black, with narrow whitish edge ; a white zigzag 

 line bounding the outer edge of the central belt ; external 

 area sienna-red, traversed by a slender dark brown line, 

 followed by a zigzag submarginal white line ; an apical
