fuscous patches at costa and hind margin, accompanied proximally and 
distally by ill-defined golden-brown spots ; median band rather narrow, 
only 1 mm. at costa, less at hind margin, not quite 2 mm. at widest part 
(from R 1 about to M 2 ), dis tally indented on the veins and fold, greyish 
fuscous, containing a large black cell-mark, which is partly surrounded 
with golden-brown, and a golden-brown streak along SC ; a wavy but 
tolerably distinct white line bounds the median band proximally ; a 
further white line bounds it distally ; two golden-brown bands, separated 
by a fuscous line, follow the same contour distally ; the area between the 
second of these and the pale subterminal is mostly filled in with fuscous ; 
subterminal much broken into spots ; terminal area fuscous, mixed with 
golden-brown ; fringe weakly dark-spotted. Hindwing rather elongate, 
with termen strongly rounded ; whitish grey, almost unmarked ; fringe 
u .spotted. Forewmg beneath whitish grey, wirh very shadowy indications 
of some of the upper side markings. Hindwing beneath whitish, with very 
vague cell-dot and weak-bent grey bar just beyond. 
Waterval Onder, 3rd November, 1910. 
An eccentric species in the shape of the hindwing and its lack of colour, 
perhaps hardly a true Eupithecia, though the venation agrees (single 
areole, little oblique discocellulars, etc.). Rather recalls Perizoma. The 
dorsal crests become weak on posterior segments. 
Chloroclystis gymnoscelides , n. sp. (PL XXV, Fig. 25). 
2, 13-16 mm. Head, body, legs, etc., mostly concolorous with wings, 
but with the following parts more or less infuscated : lower extremity of 
face, which ends in slight tuft ; outer side of palpus ; most of thorax 
dorsally, base of abdomen dorsally; front (upperside) of foreleg except 
at the extremities of the joints. Wings brownish-grey with a vinous tinge, 
about like Gymnoscelis pumilata Hbn., but both wings relatively shorter, 
termen of hindwing virtually smooth (straighter between the radials than 
the rest) ; markings not very sharp, the lines and shades of the proximal 
area of the forewing, however, more uniformly darkish, more oblique than 
in pumilata ; medium area not lighter than distal, the pale lines which 
bound it less sharp than in most pumilata ; postmedian line curved 
proximad at costa, indented, and with slight thickening between the radials, 
posteriorly less conspicuous ; subterminal line discernible, somewhat 
dentate, no conspicuously vinous band proximally to it, the dark markings 
placed as m pumilata , but not intense. Hindwing with postmedian line 
slightly nearer to termen than in pumilata, nearly parallel therewith 
throughout, only with feeble inward curve between radials and very feeble 
inward curve between R 3 and inner margin. Under surface sharply marked, 
recalling the European species of Chloroclystis, but without distinct discal 
spots, the forewing somewhat more suffused from base to postmedian line, 
the thick postmedian of the hindwing less acutely angled at R 3 .

Xanthorhoe (?) brunneitrames, n. sp. (PI. XXV, Fig. 26).
