182 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



part of DC 3 and the base of R 2 , posterior half of band l'5-2 mm. broad, almost 

 vertical from hindniargin to basal part of M 2 , distally with a small pointed projec- 

 tion behind M 2 , anteriorly connected with an elongate spot between M 2 and M 1 . 



Hindwing pale greyish, with a rather whiter postmedian band. 



Hindwing beneath mostly whitish, with sharp cell-dot and with interrupted 

 dentate lines (or rows of interneural spots) indicating the boundaries of the post- 

 median band ; the proximal of these lines makes a strong outward projection at 

 SC 2 — R 1 . 



Acopampa, S. Peru, 11,500 ft., January — March 1910. Type in coll. L. B. 

 Prout. 



67. Horisme palmeri sp. nov. 



S, 27 mm. Build of H. marmorata Dogn. [Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xlvi. 348). 

 Antennal ciliation fully as long as diameter of shaft. Head and body considerably 

 darker than in marmorata, first abdominal tergite bluish-silvery, second and third 

 cinnamon, a similarly coloured spot near anus. 



Fore-wing with the dark parts considerably darker than in marmorata (nearly 

 burnt umber), glossy, the lines and irroration bluish-silvery ; pattern similar to 

 that of marmorata, proximally still more ill-defined; median area of more uniform 

 width throughout, the antemedian line being less strongly excurved in cell, the 

 postmedian with a weaker projection (single, pointed, behind R 3 ) ; cell-dot more 

 rounded ; pale shades of distal area bluish-silvery, the patch between the radials 



not darker than the other dark parts. Hindwing correspondingly but more 



uniformly darkened, markings quite weak. 



Both wings beneath much darker and more uniform than in marmorata. 



San Antonio, W. Colombia, 5800 ft., December 1907 (M. G. Palmer). Type 

 in coll. L. B. Pront. 



68. Eupithecia (Eucymatoge) pippa sp. nov. 



t?, 25 mm. Superficially similar to E. (E.) hormiga Dogn., Ann. Soc. Ent. 

 Belg. xliii. 143, of about the same shape and with the same robust, rather elongate 

 abdomen, but differing as follows : 



Palpus purple-brown, mixed with white below. Antenna thick, with minute 

 ciliation (in hormiga both sexes have long ciliation). Face aud vertex less white, 

 more spotted with black. Thorax and abdomen more strongly mixed with brown 

 and blackish. 



Forewing with stronger brownish (distally red-brownish) suffusions in posterior 

 half and in the oblique pale patch which interrupts the subterminal line near 

 apex ; the black markings thickened, at least the anterior half of the dark shades 

 which bound the median area and the posterior end of the distal one ; median 

 area itself rather broader, its distal edge bending outward more strongly sub- 

 costally ; discal dot much smaller, less obliquely placed ; subterminal line more 

 interrupted, the black radial marking proximally to it enlarged into an elongate 

 blotch. Hindwing uniform smoke-colour. 



Underside with rather more numerous lines indicated, at least on hindwing ; 

 both wings with the postmedian line more bent than in hormiga, discal dots 

 smaller ; tone rather less strongly glossy.
