LEPIDOPTEREN VON JUAN FERNANDEZ UND DER OSTER-INSEL 26 1 



ferently arranged, the suifusion brightest between middle of wing and sub- 

 terminal line; an indistinct and interrupted dark apical streak along SC*; in- 

 dications of sa/yratalike white punctuation on the veins; a minute black cell- 

 dot; about 10 indistinct brownish rippled lines on proximal two-thirds, nearly 

 parallel with termen, apparently angulated about R* or SC^, but scarcely trace- 

 able anteriorly, a few of them (especially the postmedian) bearing some 

 vaguely darker dots on the veins; a subterminal row of violet-white interneural 

 dots, accompanied proximally and distally by minute dark longitudinal dashes, 

 the subtornal dot larger, double or crescentic, dark-edged proximally, termen 

 with some slight violet-white shading and a row of interneural dark dashes; 

 proximal half of fringe with some slight dark shading and with conspicuous 

 dark dots opposite the veins. — Hi7idwing fairly long costally, termen slightly 

 sinuous; cell short; less ochreous than forewing, costally paler; cell-dot weaker; 

 rippled lines, dots, etc., somewhat similar, the subterminal vaguer but more 

 continuous (irregularly lunulate-dentate); termen and fringe similar. 



Forewing beneath with stronger cell dot, darkened base of costa and con- 

 spicuous dots on fringe, otherwise weakly marked. Hindwing beneath rather 

 whiter, with strong cell-dot and moderately distinct wavy brown lines. 



Masatierra in March. i8 ^. 



Probably near rosalia Butl. (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1882, p. 405) from Chili; 

 palpus more extreme, termen slightly less oblique, markings weaker, postmedian 

 less sinuous. L. B. Prout. 



12. Eupithecia physocleora sp. nov. — PI. 11, Fig. 7. — ^, 20 mm. 

 Palpus over twice as long as diameter of eye, 2°^ joint heavily scaled, 3"^*^ less 

 elongate than in the preceding species. Head and body white, somewhat 

 mottled or irrorated with brown; the vertex clearer white; the abdomen dor- 

 sally rather strongly belted, the anterior segments also with paired blacker 

 dots, the posterior crests minute, dark. Foreleg infuscated on upper and inner 

 sides (middle legs lost); hindtarsal spinules rather prominent. 



Wings unusually broad for the genus, rather recalling a Physocleora. 

 Forezuing with cell not quite one-half; areole undivided; white with some in- 

 distinct irroration and in places (especially in costal region) slightly suffused 

 with brownish; markings grey- brown; basal patch moderate, but proximally 

 weak, its distal edge convex and sinuous; antemedian double, oblique outward 

 from one-third costa to cell, then more vertical, at hindmargin slightly oblique 

 inward; a mark from outer angle of this line to costa; a blackish cell-dot; post- 

 median double, nearer to cell-dot than to termen, rather oblique inward to 

 apex of areole, then markedly outward to R\ nearly parallel with termen to 

 M*, slightly oblique outward behind, its proximal element developing heavy 

 dots on the veins, its distal weaker but more uniform; the succeeding white 

 band not bisected, its limiting Hne fine, less deeply angled inward anteriorly 

 than the postmedian, marked proximally with minute teeth on the veins, ac- 

 companied distally by dark costal and (weaker) posterior shading and a sub- 

 confluent pair of rather strong spots at the radials; to these follows the in- 

 distinct, lunulate-dentate subterminal line; terminal shades weak, interrupted at 

 the medians; terminal line interrupted at the veins; fringe spotted opposite the
