it was, for the sake of designation called albicapitata Pack., and while 

 its markings and colors resemble that species in size it is fully one 

 third larger. In none of my examples are the discal spots merged 

 with the costal blotch, and the extra discal in albicapitata runs straight 

 from costa around cell where it breaks into dots. The latter is a rare 

 species but I have five good examples for comparison. The type $ is 

 rather highly colored, and the 9 nearly normal in that respect. I 

 have placed it under Eupithecia, but four of my examples have the 

 double accessory cell characteristic of Eucymatoge, yet in the majority 

 it is single, in one instance two in one wing and one in the other. In 

 coloration it comes near to Eucymatoge togata, the European type of the 

 genus, but through the kindness of Mr. L. B. Trout, I have received 

 six examples of that rather rare species, and I find that, while super- 

 ficially the resemblance is great, the arrangement of colors is different, 

 and there seems to be a constant feature in the course of extra discal 

 line below cell. In mutata it runs direct to inner margin, while in 

 togata there is in all my specimens, a sharp inward angle at vein one, 

 with a tendency toward union with discal line along this vein. I sur- 

 mise that a highly colored example of mutata has caused Mr. Taylor 

 in his recent List of British Columbia Lepidoptera, to include togata 

 therein. 

 Eupithecia intimata, new species. 



Expanse 18 mm. Palpi long, of dark and pale gray scales, mixed. F'ront, 

 vertex, thorax and abdomen above clothed with same, the latter having a ring of 

 soiled white at base. All rings above a uniform pale ashen gray. A number of 

 narrow wavy darker shade lines cross fore wing, from base to intradiscal line, which 

 is broad and dusky at costa, where it turns toward discal dot, fading rapidly and 

 becoming narrow as it proceeds in waved line, straight to inner margin. Above 

 discal dot, which is linear and jet black, there is a broad pale space on costa, which, 

 extending across wing, fills the discal space and is traversed centrally by one or two 

 very narrow, waved dusky lines hardly discernible. This space is bounded out- 

 wardly by the dusky, extradiscal shade line, which starts from a dark spot at costa, 

 rounds outward opposite cell, thence inclining toward base, reaches inner margin in 

 two broad waves, having inward points on veins I and 2. The usual parallel pale 

 line succeeds this outwardly and is not very distinctly marked. Subterminal space 

 very slightly darkened, the white central line, usually present, is discernible only in 

 a few pale scales, chiefly at apex and at anal angle. Hind wings hardly paler than 

 fore wings. All the lines, faint at inner margin, fade out centrally, and the pale line 

 preceding subterminal space is traceable only by a darkening of this space. A cluster 

 of dark gray scales at anal angle. Discal dots faint, linear. Terminal lines on all 

 wings dark gray, not clearly defined ; fringes ash-gray, cut with dark gray at veins. 

 Beneath dusky ashen, the pale discal space and line reproduced as above on fore
