Eupithecia polylibades, n. sp. (PL XXV, Fig. 27). 
§, 23 mm. Head and thorax whitish-grey, coarsely peppered with 
blackish. Palpus nearly twice as long as diameter of eye, second joint 
stout, roughly scaled above, more strongly dark-mixed, pale at tip. 
Abdomen dorsally belted with ferruginous, except at tip ; a pair of black 
spots on the second belt, another on the last (seventh) ; crests very small. 
Wings normally shaped. Forewing whitish-grey with a slight bluish 
tinge, dark dusted and traversed by numerous (perhaps about 15) darker, 
somewhat waved lines, composed of accumulated coarse dark speckles, 
all pretty uniform in intensity, though with a slight suggestion of a 
darkened band of just over 1 mm. breadth proximally to the rather large 
oval cell-spot ; the succeeding lines more angulated behind R 1 ; post- 
median line just differentiable by a slightly darker spot and dark, 
proximally directed tooth on the veins, the succeeding lines somewhat 
similarly toothed ; distal area more densely irrorated and with a brown 
admixture, the whitish subterminal somewhat interrupted, thus chiefly 
indicated as a row of shore lunules, a whitish spot behind R 3 and a second 
behind M 2 also noticeable ; terminal line black, somewhat thickened 
anteriorly, interrupted throughout by small pale dots at the veins ; fringe 
long, its proximal half with large oval dark spots opposite the veins, its 
distal half more uniform. Hindwing slightly tinged with brownish, the 
lines proximally to the postmedian undeveloped except at inner margin, 
some not very conspicuous dark vein-streaks running proximad from the 
postmedian ; distal part of wing and fringe as on forewing ; a moderate 
cell-spot. Under surface rather lighter and more glossy ; forewing with 
proximal part somewhat suffused, darkest along costa, without lines ; cell- 
spot present, also the angulated lines beyond (not manifestly composed of 
dots) ; postmedian line rather thick, somewhat formed of spots, a divided 
pale band following ; distal area with two pale lines, the second being the 
true subterminal ; terminal line as above ; fringe more weakly marked. 
Hindwing not suffused, first angulated line proximal to cell-spot, second 
crossing it, third between it and subterminal, distal part nearly as on 
forewing. 
Pretoria, 20th March, 1914. A second example — a <$, rather rubbed — 
from Machacha, Basutoland, 10,000 feet, 29th January, 1902 (R. Crawshay), 
in coll. British Museum ; antennal ciliation quite short. 
Eupithecia perizomoides, n. sp. (PI. XXV, Fig. 24). 
$, 17 mm. Face mixed golden-brown and fuscous. Palpus the same, 
the fuscous rather preponderating, first and second joints beneath pale. 
Vertex pale grey. Thorax mixed golden-brown and fuscous above, dirty- 
white beneath. Foreleg fuscous above, spotted with white at the ends 
of the joints. Abdomen dorsally greyish fuscous, with belts of golden- 
brown (in part somewhat ferruginous) at the ends of the segments ; ven- 
trally dirty- white. Forewing not much elongated ; basal patch greyish 
fuscous, becoming pale at posterior margin, and containing a large golden- 
brown spot subcostally ; margined, at about 1 mm. from base, by a slightly 
curved, scarcely dentate, fine white line ; intermediate area dirty-white, 
more or less dusted with fuscous and golden-brown and containing small
