preceded in three places by a broad brown mark, the intermedian following it to 

 the fringe, which is interrupted with black ; these three marks are connected by a 

 very fine, black, denticulated, scarcely visible line : inferior resembling those of 

 many Eupithecice, that is to say, they are pale grey, with denticulated lines 

 everywhere on the abdominal border, becoming soon obsolete, and with a small 

 cellular dot: under-side of the four wings pale grey, with a cellular dot, and 

 traces of several lines, of which the median is black and interrupted. Body green, 

 mixed with black. The abdomen has a dark spot occupying the second and 

 third segments, and small black dots on the following ones. Antennae furnished 

 with very long ciliations placed in pairs. 



It was already in my collection. I have also before me two other 

 species, but I dare not describe them from single, badly-preserved in- 

 dividuals.

Smaller than munitata. Wings silky, very pale pinky-grey, with very india- 

 tinct traces of lines, save the two median ones, which are blackish upwardly and 

 enclose a black dot, very near the extra basal ; subterminal absent, preceded by a 

 series of very small black nervural dots ; below the apex is an indistinct greyish 

 dash : inferior yet paler, without markings on the upper-side ; pale flesh-coloured 

 beneath mixed with black atoms, and with an indistinct median line formed of black 

 atoms, and a cellular dot placed very near the costa. Body concolorous, without 

 markings. Palpi prominent, as long as the head. Antennae with very fine but 

 long pectinations, filiform at the apex. 



I have seen only the male. 



One variety has the markings yet more indistinct, with the under-side of the 

 inferior wings rosy, and without markings.

Superior wings entire, acute at the apex, greenish-grey (perhaps quite green 

 in fresh examples) ; all the ordinaiy lines present, but very iudistinct, the two 

 median ones rather more sensible, and the elbowed line darker above ; fringes, in 

 good examples, violaceous, divided by a line in the middle : inferior wings whitish- 

 grey, powdered with violet atoms ; some examples have a faint trace of lines, with 

 the fringe, as in the superior, preceded by indistinct geminated dots. The under-
