Probably a form of E. castigataj Hiibn. 



Eupithecia simcaria, sp. n. 



Primaries brownish, darker along the costa ; the basal area 

 is whitish, limited by a wavy whitish band, which is clearly 

 defined on the dark costal area and is intersected transversely 

 by a wavy dark line; there is another similar whitish band 

 beyond tiie black discal dot, but this does not proceed below 

 the middle of the wing; these bands are connected by an 

 irregular whitish patch below the dark costal area ; third 

 band whitish, intersected by a dark line on costa, but hardly 

 traceable below, except as white points on the nervules, sub- 

 marginal line dusky. Secondaries greyish, traversed by 

 five wavy whitish bands, the third and fourth of which are 

 most distinct. Under surface fuscous grey ; primaries with 

 a black discal dot and indications of dusky transverse bands; 

 secondaries with whitish bands as above.
