192 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. _ [May, ’o8 
walshi?), and the right half with the terminal caudal spot 
extended up the sides of the tail (ajax telamonides). The ac- 
companying photograph is of this individual, now in my col- 
lection. It will be noticed that the apex of the left forewing 
is apparently not fully developed: the reason for this may also 
be the cause of the bi-formation. 
The other figure is of a specimen of Eudamus tityrus with 
the yellow spots suffused over the apical area of the forewing. 
It was caught by me in a garden in Charleston, S. C., June 
29, 1897, in company with a large series of normal specimens 
of the same species and its peculiarities were not noticed un- 
til it was afterwards expanded. On the under side of the 
hind wings the silver-white spot, large in the normal form, is 
reduced to a mere dash along the base of the cell, and an 
isolated faint mark at right angles to and touching sub-costal 
vein opposite base of cell.

Eastern Eupithecias. 
By RicHArpD F. PEARSALL. 
Eupithecia catskillata n. sp. 
Expanse 16-17 mm. Palpi long, rather heavy, dark brown, the tips 
white. Antennae silvery, annulate with pale brown, shortly ciliate in ¢. 
Vertex and front with dark brown and gray scales mixed. 
Thorax with band of dark brown crossing it in front centrally by 
a narrow pure white band not always present; the scutellar region 
tipped with a conspicuous spot of white scales. Fore wings broad, well 
rounded, pale gray tinged with yellow brown. A dark area at base, 
crossed by a series of faint lines a little darker, is limited by a double 
pale line which leaves costa above discal spot, sweeps outward in a 
bold curve quite around and touching it, and in another broad outward 
curve reaches inner margin one-half out. This line is broader and 
clearer than the extra discal pale line which is also present, and, 
angled outward below costa, runs parallel with it, rather nearer the 
margin than usual. Between them a dusky shade line, is marked with 
short dashes on veins. The subterminal white line very obscure and 
narrow, except at anal angle where it forms a broad lunule curved in- 
ward. Discal dots oval, distinct, black. Below discal dot, at end of 
cell, is a small patch of yellow scales present in all of my examples. 
Subterminal space dark like basal area, frosted costally at apex with 
white. Marginal line usually entire, black. Fringes long pale gray with
