7. Eupithecia emmedonia, new species. 



Expanse, 17 mm. Palpi short, scarcely extending beyond the evenly rounded 

 front, black with a few white scales. Head light gray, the lower part of front and 

 space between the antennae black. Thorax whitish. Abdomen brown with inter- 

 mixed whitish scales. Ground color of wings almost white, the primaries rather 

 long and narrow and with two contrasting blackish bands crossing the central portion 

 of the wing besides the basal line. The first of these bands begins broadly on the 

 costa just inward of the middle and extends to the cell, then becomes very broad and 

 with an even sweep runs far inward, becoming narrower as it proceeds and ends on 

 inner margin one fourth out from the base. The second is narrower, begins on costa 

 as far in from apex as the first is out from the base and runs almost parallel with it 

 to inner margin. Jet black scales are on the veins within these bands, and one on 

 the first band is in the center of the cell. The basal line is black and extends 

 irregularly from costa to inner margin. A narrow line vaguely indicated is present 

 running along the outer side of the second band. External half of outer area shaded 

 with blackish but broken with subapical dashes of ground color, and a white sub- 

 terminal line runs rather evenly through it. Terminal line black. Fringe gray. 

 Secondaries with two even bands continuous with those of fore wings but which 

 almost disappear at costa. Anal angle shaded with black and showing the termina- 

 tion of the whitish, denticulate subterminal line, the remainder of which is lost in 

 the pale ground color above the anal angle region. Terminal line blackish, best 

 marked toward and at anal angle. Beneath, both wings light gray shaded with 

 darker gray toward the base, the bands of upper side indicated by black spots on the 

 veins. 



Type. — One male in the Brooklyn Institute Museum received 

 through Mr. Jacob Doll. 



Habitat. — Monterey Co., Cal. 



Readily distinguished from all described species by the white 

 ground color across which two contrasting blackish lines extend. 



8. Rheumaptera medeifascia, new species. 



Expanse, 26-28 mm. Palpi pale luteous, tipped at apex with dark brown ; ver- 

 tex and front dark brown with intermixed luteous scales. Thorax variegated with 

 white, luteous and brown scales. Abdomen pale ochrey with numerous intermixed 

 brown scales and sometimes a pair of brown dorsal spots on the anterior segments. 

 Ground color of wings sordid luteous. The basal and outer fields of primaries sepa- 

 rated by a broad brown median fascia which begins broadly at center of the costal 

 margin and becomes narrower as it proceeds across the wing to inner margin ; the 

 internal edge of this fascia is evenly curved from one margin to the other, the external 

 edge is outcurved to center of wing, then faintly incurved and straight to inner margin. 

 Basal area overlaid with brown, darker toward root of wings, paler outwardly. Basal 

 line dark brown, double, irregular in its course and scarcely to be traced through this
