separated by a fine black line and evenly rounded throughout its course. 

 The second or intradiscal line is also geminate, broadly outcurved 

 from costa to Ri, then curved inwardly and gently waved to inner 

 margin forming a sharp internal angle between Cu and anal veins. 

 The median line is represented by a narrow blackish shade line that 

 runs directly through the discal spot; it is most prominent on the 

 costa and bent in on vein Cu. The extradiscal line is composed of 

 three parallel whitish lines that extend in a straight line from costa 

 to vein R. then describe a bold outward semicircle, slightly drawn 

 in on each vein to Cu-, and thence proceed doubly angled to inner 

 margin. Subterminal line dentate, not very strongly indicated. Ter- 

 minal line black, broken at the veins. Fringe checkered blackish and 

 dirty white. In the central portion of the wing in the median area 

 the veins are strongly marked with black just inward of the extra- 

 discal line, as in almost the whole of the Cu. Discal spot jet black, 

 somewhat transversely elongated and pointed at the ends. Near the 

 anal angle is a geminate white spot Secondaries with two blackish 

 lines crossing wing on outer half, the inner with an internal angle 

 on anal vein. Two or three other lines on inner margin extend but a 

 short distance into the wing. Terminal line black, contrasting. Discal 

 spot large, black. Beneath, all wings are clear white, all the black 

 markings of the upper surface reproduced, sharply in contrast to the 

 white ground color. 



Described from a beautiful specimen from Yavapai Co., 

 Ariz., that agrees with the type. 



Eupithecia miserulata Grt. (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., ii, 32, 1863). 



This species has caused more trouble than any other 

 Eupithecia. chiefly on account of the fact that Grote deter- 

 mined and distributed other better known species by that name, 

 and it was supposed, therefore, that miserulata was a common 

 form. Not until it was realized that many species of Eupithecia 

 occurred in the eastern states, several of which passed as 

 miserulata, was an effort made to identify Grote's species. 

 Mr. Taylor and Mr. Swett, independently of each other, arrived 

 at the conclusion that a certain insect was miserulata; while 

 Mr. Pearsall and myself, also independently of each other, 

 reached the conclusion that a different insect was miserulata, 

 and our opinion was strengthened when we found that a 

 specimen in the collection of Mr. Davis, determined by Grote 

 as his species, was identical with ours. In the collection of the
