LEPIDOPTEREN VON JUAN FERNANDEZ UND DER OSTER-INSEL 261 
ferently arranged, the suffusion brightest between middle of wing and sub- 
terminal line; an indistinct and interrupted dark apical streak along SC*; in- 
dications of satyrata-like white punctuation on the veins; a minute black cell- 
dot; about 10 indistinct brownish rippled lines on proximal two-thirds, nearly 
parallel with termen, apparently angulated about R? or SC°®, but scarcely trace- 
able anteriorly, a few of them (especially the postmedian) bearing some 
vaguely darker dots on the veins; a subterminal row of violet-white interneural 
dots, accompanied proximally and distally by minute dark longitudinal dashes, 
the subtornal dot larger, double or crescentic, dark-edged proximally, termen 
with some slight violet-white shading and a row of interneural dark dashes; 
proximal half of fringe with some slight dark shading and with conspicuous 
dark dots opposite the veins. — Hzudwing fairly long costally, termen slightly 
sinuous; cell short; less ochreous than forewing, costally paler; cell-dot weaker; 
rippled lines, dots, etc., somewhat similar, the subterminal vaguer but more 
continuous (irregularly lunulate-dentate); termen and fringe similar. 
Forewing beneath with stronger cell-dot, darkened base of costa and con- 
spicuous dots on fringe, otherwise weakly marked. Hindwing beneath rather 
whiter, with strong cell-dot and moderately distinct wavy brown lines.

Probably near rosa/za Butl. (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1882, p. 405) from Chili; 
palpus more extreme, termen slightly less oblique, markings weaker, postmedian 
less sinuous. De BPPROUT: 
12. Eupithecia physocleora sp. nov. — Pl. 11, Fig. 7. — 9, 20 mm. 
Palpus over twice as long as diameter of eye, 24 joint heavily scaled, 3"° less 
elongate than in the preceding species. Head and body white, somewhat 
mottled or irrorated with brown; the vertex clearer white; the abdomen dor- 
sally rather strongly belted, the anterior segments also with paired blacker 
dots, the posterior crests minute, dark. Foreleg infuscated on upper and inner 
sides (middle legs lost); hindtarsal spinules rather prominent. 
Wings unusually broad for the genus, rather recalling a Physocleora. 
Forewing with cell not quite one-half; areole undivided; white with some in- 
distinct irroration and in places (especially in costal region) slightly suffused 
with brownish; markings grey-brown; basal patch moderate, but proximally 
weak, its distal edge convex and sinuous; antemedian double, oblique outward 
from one-third costa to cell, then more vertical, at hindmargin slightly oblique 
inward; a mark from outer angle of this line to costa; a blackish cell-dot; post- 
median double, nearer to cell-dot than to termen, rather oblique inward to 
apex of areole, then markedly outward to R', nearly parallel with termen to 
M?, slightly oblique outward behind, its proximal element developing heavy 
dots on the veins, its distal weaker but more uniform; the succeeding white 
band not bisected, its limiting line fine, less deeply angled inward anteriorly 
than the postmedian, marked proximally with minute teeth on the veins, ac- 
companied distally by dark costal and (weaker) posterior shading and a sub- 
confluent pair of rather strong spots at the radials; to these follows the in- 
distinct, lunulate-dentate subterminal line; terminal shades weak, interrupted at 
the medians; terminal line interrupted at the veins; fringe spotted opposite the
