gular, and dotted with black ; the ninth or subraarginal line 

 indistinct ; a series of black marginal lunules. Wings below 

 immaculate ; anterior coxa3, tibia3, and tarsi pale golden 

 brown. Expanse of wings 11 lines. 



82. Eupithecia signigera, n. sp. (no. 574). 



Sandy brown, crossed by numerous, parallel, undulated or 

 zigzag, darker brown lines ; an interrupted black marginal 

 line : primaries with the costal border almost wholly occupied 

 by five large, black-edged, brown spots, the third and fifth 

 of which are connected with similar subcostal spots above the 

 end of the cell and close to the apex ; the first and third of 

 the transverse brown lines expanded into bands ; a white- 

 edged black spot at the end of the cell ; a submarginal series 

 of externally white-edged black spots, united by longitudinal 

 dashes to the interrupted marginal line : secondaries paler 

 than primaries, the costal half whitish ; a blackish discocel- 

 lular dot ; the submarginal zigzag line externally white- 

 edged and terminating at anal angle in a blackish spot : 

 thorax whitish, with dark brown head and collar. Under 

 surface grey, discocellular spots and interrupted marginal line 

 black and sharply defined ; transverse lines indistinct, only 

 indicated upon the disk. Expanse of wings 1 inch. 



Allied to E. rufescens (111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. p. 52, 

 pi. liii. fig. 12). 



83. Eupitheci i consueta, n. sp. (no. 568). 

 Whitish, crossed by numerous undulated grey lines, some 



of which are deepened in colour, and their interspaces are 

 filled in with grey so as to form a small basal band, a broad 

 angulated belt occupying the central third of the wings, a 

 submarginal externally zigzag stripe and an external border : 

 primaries with a prominent black discocellular litura : body 

 varied with grey transverse stripes and lines. Wings below 

 grey ; the outer edge of the central belt represented by a 

 blackish stripe ; prominent black discocellular spots ; a dif- 

 fused discal stripe with pale external edge ; fringe with white 

 basal line ; costal margin of primaries white, crossed by large 

 blackish costal spots. Body below white; legs greyish above. 

 Expanse of wings 10^ lines. 



In the pattern of the primaries this species almost agrees 

 with E. excisa (111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. p. 52, pi. liii. fig. 11). 



84. Eupithecia lucinda, n. sp. (no. 578). 



Primaries pale sap-green, with blackish markings nearly as 

 in the preceding species : secondaries sordid white, a few
