1906] -EuPITHECIA YOUNGATA, 227 
brown with a dark transverse band anteriorly. Abdomen as 
thorax, 2nd segment a little darker, posterior edge of each seg- 
ment whitish. Forewings obtuse at apex, outer margin well 
rounded, same color as thorax, the costa rather darker and the 
cross lines distinctly lighter than the ground color; basal line 
double, very irregular, being angled sharply outwardly at cell and 
below vein 2 ; median line also double, not well marked, making 
a sharp outward angle to include the conspicuous black discal dot, 
then running in an almost straight line to middle of inner margin; 
extra discal line also double, dislocated at vein 6, then in a regu- 
lar curve parallel to outer margin ; both median and extra discal 
lines show in more or less well-defined whitish spots on veins 2 
to 6 inclusive ; and there are short black dashes on each of these 
veins between the median and extra discal lines ; submarginal line 
white, conspicuous, regularly scalloped at each vein and forming 
a distinct V at anal angle; a fine black marginal line ; fringe 
dotted with dark brown between veins. Hind wingss well rounded, 
lighter brown than fore wings with six darker lines: the first two 
are basal and do not extend further from inner margin than to 
vein 2 ; the next two lines are extra discal and almost complete ; 
the two outer lines extend completely across the wing: a very 
small and faint discal dot ; marginal line and fringe as on fore 
wings. Beneath paler; fore wings with a linear discal dot and 
the extra discal markings of the upper surface reproduced ; basal 
portion of wing without markings except a dark spot on the costa, 
indicating the position of basal line. Hind wing as above, but 
with all the lines more regular and reaching to the costa; the dis- 
cal spot is distinct, black; the 1st extra discal line is diffuse and 
very evident; the 3 outer lines appear as spots between the veins, 
the outermost line being least conspicuous. The under side of 
thorax and of the basal segments of the abdomen is very pale, 
almost white, but the posterior portion of the abdomen is nearly 
black.
