brown. Thorax in front reddish brown with dark admixture; otherwise paler. 
Abdomen dorsally vandyke brown, with some whitish scales at the extremities 
of the segments, the crests minute, white-tipped ; ventrally cinnamon, again 
becoming vandyke brown in the middle. 
Fore wing whitish grey, mostly obscured by fuscous irroration; suffusions 
of a more ferruginous tone along the veins distally, along SC and SM- to the 
base and about the base of nowhere sharply defined ; costal margin 
dark spotted; proximal area quite indefinitely marked, with mere suggestions 
of the usual transverse rippling; an ill-defined pale band about the middle, 
acutely angulated outward at R^, slightly bent inward at M and outward at 
fold, edged proximally and bisected by ill-defined dark lines, separated distally 
by a vague dark band from a similar but less acutely angulated pale outer 
band; distal area mostly dark, traversed by three excessively fine, slightly 
interrupted, crenulate whitish lines, the third touching the terminal line; 
terminal line black, interrupted by minute whitish dots at the veins; fringe 
rather dark, with slight pale admixture opposite the veins, whiter tips, a very 
fine whitish line at base and another near middle. Hind wing mostly whitish 
grey with faint darker shadings, the distal region narrowly and the abdominal 
region to M and concolorous with fore wing ; abdominal area traversed by 
whitish bands and lines corresponding to those of fore wing ; a minute cell-dot ; 
fringe rather paler and more weakly marked than that of fore wing. 
Fore wing beneath rather strongly marked at costa and with fairly distinct, 
but not bisected, pale outer band ; proximal area with glossy greyish suffusions, 
whiter at hind margin; a minute cell-dot present; distal area feebly marked 
except at termen, where the veins become whitish. Hind wing whitish, with 
four thick, distinct, complete, somewhat curved transverse lines, the second 
crossing the black cell-dot, the fourth (bounding the outer pale band) the 
thickest; distal area dark, the black terminal line interrupted by minute 
whitish dots at the veins.

coll. Janse. 
The upperside rather recalls vermiculata Warr. {Nov. Zool. viii. 12, Uganda), 
the underside hypophasma Prout. Wings rather less elongate than in the 
latter, colour different, oblique pale apical shade wanting. 
31. Eupithecia infausta sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 8). • 
(J, $, 20 mm. Rather smaller and narrower winged than infelix Prout 
{Nov. Zool. XXIV. 434), postmedian line of fore wing more acutely angulated, 
cell-mark punctiform, surrounded by an irregular ring of whitish scales, sub- 
terminal markings less conspicuously wedge-shaped, fringe of hind wing not 
or scarcely chequered.
