and slightly less so in Philophyllia, The eighteen genera are 
as follows: Zlimaea (Oriental region), Azara (Neotropical), 
Hyperophora (Neotropical), <gimia (Mexico and Central. 
America), Ancylecha (Malay region), Phyglea (Malay region), 
Sympaestria (Malay region), Zerpnistria (S. Africa), Plagto- 
pleura (Neotropical), Hyperphrona (Neotropical), Prosagoga 
(Neotropical), Pycnopalpa Neotropical), Synxtechnia (Neotrop- 
ical), Philophyllia (Neotropical), /schyra (Neotropical), Posi- 
dippus (Neotropical), Weissenbornia (Africa), Pyrgophylax 
(Oriental). 
The wide distribution of this tendency, together with the 
facts already related, would seem to suggest the retention here 
and there of an originally common character, rather than the 
parallel development of something new. It seems just possi- 
ble that Scudder’s Cymatomera maculata may be Palaeorehnia ; 
the reference to Cymatomera was wholly provisional. The 
species was founded on fragments of the base of a tegmen, and 
perhaps cannot be certainly recognized.

Two New Species of Eupithecia Curtis. 
RicHARD F. PEARSALL. 
Of the eastern Eupithecia it seems desirable that the types 
of closely allied species should be retained where they may be 
accessible for comparison and study in their home region. I 
venture therefore to offer descriptions of some which I think 
should be classed as new: 
Eupithecia conformata n. sp. 
Expanse 14-16 mm. Palpi long, not very stout, soiled white with a few 
dark gray scales above. Vertex and front grayish white or white with 
two spots of dark gray below antennz, and a border line of same above 
clypeus. Antenne dark gray annulate. Thorax, pale gray darker in 
front, whitish centrally and on posterior region. Abdomen above pale 
gray and brownish scales mixed, whitish at base, on second segment a 
lunule of brownish scales often absent, tufts not prominent, dark gray, 
anal segment paler. All wings above, clear pale gray, submarginally 
darker. Forewings narrow somewhat extended at apex, with three 
square costal blotches black, the beginning. of cross lines, which consist
