angulated beneath costa, and sometimes (in the Tongan specimen) 

 again in middle ; three hnes towards hind margin more distinct ; 

 a fine interrupted blackish hind-marginal line ; cilia whitish 

 ochreous, towards tips whitish. Hind wings moderate, hind 

 margin crenulate, bent below middle, between this and anal angle 

 somewhat concave; veins 3 and 4, also 6 and 7, nearly approxi- 

 mated at base ; colour, lines, and cilia as in fore wings, but ante- 

 median line nearly obsolete ; post-median line slightly angulated 

 outwards below costa and sharply in middle, angulated inwards 

 below middle ; posterior line bent in middle.

EUPITHECIA, Cu7't. 

 Palpi poi-rected, roughly scaled. Antemife in male ciliated. 

 Fore wings with vein 6 from a point with or below 9, 7 from angle 

 of areole, 10 anastomosing with 9, 11 out of 10 before 9, 12 free. 

 Hind wings with veins G and 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing with 7 from 

 near base to near transverse vein.
