EUPITHECIA. 
115 
across the basal fifth angulated within the cell and arched below it ; oval costal and sub- 
costal spots, continued by a straight transverse stripe to inner margin immediately beyond 
the subbasal line ; two faintly indicated central lines enclosing the discocellular spot ; a 
discal stripe formed almost exactly as in E. lariciatu and followed by a feebly indicated 
slender line across the disc and an interrupted submarginal stripe ; a very slender interrupted 
marginal blackish line ; fringe traversed by a brown stripe : secondaries with the costal third 
sericeous white; seven brownish^ more or less angulated stripes, abbreviated on basal half, 
the basal one and the sixth linear, the seventh with zigzag outer edge ; margin and fringe as 
in the primaries j a dark brown discocellular spot : body greyish brown. Under surf ace silvery 
greyish white : markings ill-defined. Expanse of wings 22 millim. 
Dharmsala. 
Eupithecia lucigera. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 11.) 
Apparently nearest to E. irriguata of Europe : primaries lilacine grey ; a broad sordid 
white longitudinal sinuous band commencing below the costa at base of inner margin and 
passing through the cell to the centre of the disc and then upwards to the costal margin, so 
as to enclose a semicircular costal patch, at the bottom of which is a large black discocellular 
spot ; five or six ill-defined parallel dusky lines across the wing, slightly interrupting the 
white band ; a slender black marginal line interrupted at the extremities of the veins and 
followed by a slender whitish line at the base of the fringe ; a white spot near external angle : 
secondaries silver-grey, traversed by about six slightly darker stripes : meso- and metathorax 
whitish ; remainder of body above blackish. Under siirface silver greyish ; markings very 
ill-defined. Expanse of wings 21 millim. 
Dharmsala. 
Eupithecia hockingii. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 12.) 
Aspect of E. centaureata : primaries sericeous, sordid white, irrorated with greyish 
brown ; basal sixth greyish brown edged with black ; an undulated ill-defined greyish-brown 
line across the basal third ; central band narrow ; the costal extremity broader, unequally 
quadrate, dark brown ; posterior extremity pale brown ; lines of the band double, the outer 
lines brown and ill-defined, the inner ones black, the lines forming the inner edge of the 
band angulated, those of the outer edge angulated towards costa, undulated from third median 
branch to inner margin ; a narrower ill-defined irregular band, commencing in a blackish 
quadrate costal spot, halfway between the central band and the outer margin ; outer border 
greyish brown, the interval between it and the discal band occupied towards apex and external 
angle by one or two black-bordered white spots ; fringe spotted with grey and traversed by a 
blackish line : secondaries shining white, the female with a blackish dot at the anterior angle 
of the discoidal cell and an imperfect series of grey lunules ; external border very pale greyish,
