This begins on the costa in a triangular patch a little outward of discal 

 spot and extends to vein R, then curves outward in a bold semicircle 

 and runs inwardly obliquely to inner margin being drawn in on all 

 the veins, the sharp angles sometimes forming dark brown dashes on 

 the veins. Following the extradiscal line is a broad band of ground 

 color succeeded by a dark shade which extends to the terminal line 

 and is traversed through its center by an ill-defined zig-zag white line. 

 Terminal line deep brown, interrupted at the veins. Fringe concolorous 

 with ground color checkered with darker blocks. Discal spot mod- 

 erate in size, dark brown, linear. Secondaries with four broad and 

 somewhat diffuse transverse brown lines besides the deep brown, in- 

 terrupted terminal line. The first two of these are within the small 

 discal spot and extend from the inner margin well into the wing be- 

 coming then obsolete; the other two are outward of the discal spot 

 and cross the wing completely being somewhat outwardly scalloped 

 in their course. Fringe as in the fore wings. Beneath, the ground 

 color is as on the upper surface and the more pronounced markings 

 of that side are clearly reproduced beneath. Discal spots present on 

 both wings and very distinct. 



Habitat. — Sharon, Mass., April 30 to May 3 ; Framingham, 

 Mass., May 7. 



Types. — Five specimens, $ type and co-types in Mr. Swett's 

 collection, $ type in the collection of the author. 



Eupithecia latipennis Hulst (Can. Ent., xxx, 114, 189S). 



Dr. Hulst described this from specimens received from Mr. 

 Hanham, who collected them at Quebec, Can. I have seen 

 three types, which are probably all there are. One of these 

 in the Brooklyn Institute Museum, and one of the two at New 

 Brunswick is the same as Packard's albicopitata; the re- 

 maining type, a male, is quite different from anything else 

 and is left to represent Hulst's species. His description applies 

 very well to the species as here limited. 



Eupithecia absinthiata Clerk. 



Mr. Taylor is entirely correct in striking this European insect 

 from our list. He is also right in his use of the name coagulata 

 Gn., for the small species, which now stands as the male type 

 of getninata Pack. I have seen specimens like the one in the 

 collection at Cambridge, which bore the reddish tinge referred 

 to by Guenee. Geminata is a large Eupithecia, dull clay yel- 

 low in color and entirely distinct from coagulata.
