Menopon jenningsi Kellogg & Paine. 
A female specimen collected by W. M. Mann from a wild 
guinea pig (Cavia cutleri), brought from Peru by Dr. W. E. 
Castle. This is the second record of this peculiar species and 
is of special interest, coming as it does from a wild form of 
Cavia, thus more certainly establishing the guinea pig as its 
typical host. The type is from the tame C. cobaya.

The following species I fear I have distributed to some of 
my friends, under the name of multiscripta, Hulst. I had at 
that time, a single specimen of the latter from Colorado, veri- 
fied by comparison with the type, but I thought these were 
possibly but a variation of it. Later, when more material 
came to me from both localities, I found that we had in the 
Southwest another large species, very like unto multiscripta, 
in size, shape and color, which I have called 
Eupithecia perillata, n. sp. 
Expanse 28-30 mm. Palpi long, stout, gray, tipped with white. Front 
gray, bordered narrowly along orbits, and over clypeus with white. An- 
tennae rather stout and ciliate in both sexes, gray, barred finely with 
black,
