EUPITHECIA. By L. B. Prout.

E. lanceata Hbn. (Vol. 4, pi. 130). E. Lange notices that the Freiberg specimens are more ochreous lanceata. 
than those from other localities. He has not given them a separate name; probably the difference is too slight 
or too inconstant. 
E. conjunctiva Hmps. (14 1). Only the type $ and a Masuri $ are yet known. We figure the latter, conjunctiva. 
Cell-mark of forewing somewhat raised. 
E. latimedia Hmps. Postmedian line of forewing straightish and touching the cell-spot, somewhat as latimedia. 
in lanceata , which, however, it does not otherwise resemble. Wings less narrow, hindwing more rounded, 
fore wing with cell-mark large, median area less constricted (though not warranting the name latimedia), con¬ 
taining some dark shading, especially at the costa. N. W. India, the type from Dalhousie. 
E. nigrilinea Warr. (17 h). Less warmly coloured, the markings further reduced, particularly in the nigrilinea. 
outer area, which lacks the dark subterminal spots at the radials and at tornus. Cell-spot small, the fine dark 
postmedian line shortly beyond it conspicuous, very characteristic. Kashmir to Ivumaon, the type from Kasauli. 
E. incurvaria Hmps. (14 1) somewhat recalls in its coloration and markings a larger, rather light, rather incurvaria. 
broader-winged exiguata, but has a very large cell-mark on the fore wing, the postmedian very little beyond 
it, scarcely indented near the costa but with a characteristic inward curve between the folds. Kashmir: Gurais 
Valley, a pair; we figure the $ (allotype). 
E. linzosa Moore gulmargensis subsp. nov. (18 e). The name-typical, N. E. Himalayan form of this very 
easily recognized species will be dealt with in Vol. 12. Subsp. gulmargensis is larger (length of fore wing in 
lineosa 9 —11 mm), considerably lighter, the pale parts almost white, the lines which traverse the pale post¬ 
median band almost obsolete, the brown bands brighter, the subterminal one rather broad and well defined. 
Kashmir: the type a beautiful <$ from Gulmarg, 19 July 1931, presented to the British Museum by Prof. T. B. 
Fletcher, the allotype $, 6000—8500 feet, without exact locality. 
The following Eupithecia are quite imperfectly known and I can only introduce them as “species in- 
certae sedis”. 
E, latimarginata Matsumura. $ “20 mm. Palpus greyish, with fuscous bands; forewing with subbasal, 
antemedial, postmedial and submarginal band, the first 3 scarcely wavy, of equal breadth, the submarginal 
broad, extended to termen, interrupted at vein 7; four costal spots, the fourth near apex; discoidal spot small 
and roundish. Hindwing with two bands beyond the discoidal spot, the outer extended to termen. Underside 
with two broad obsolete fuscous bands, discoidal spots not very distinct. Abdomen with white band at base.” 
S. Saghalien: Ichinosawa, 25 July, 1 $. 
E. ichinosawana Matsumura. “21 mm. Wings pale grey, with many oblique fuscous bands: forewing ichinosawa- 
at innerside of medial band with about 4 small bands, the innermost geniculated at costa; a black discoidal na 
spot; postmedial band gently excurved at outerside of discocellulars; submarginal band double. Hindwing 
with 4 or 5 obsolete fuscous bands, discoidal spot fuscous. Terminal bands to both wings fuscous, fringe grey, 
with some fuscous scales at ends of veins. Underside pale grey, forewing with 2 and hindwing with 3 obsolete 
fuscous bands; discoidal spots distinct. Body whitish grey, abdomen with a row of small fuscous crests.” 
Likewise founded on a single $ from Ichinosawa. Said to resemble closely E. extensaria leuca “but much 
smaller and discoidal spot more conspicuous”. 
E. specialis. Under this name Elsa A. Schultze (Arch. Nat., Vol. 85 A: 1, p. 9 and 28, 1920) gives specialis. 
some larval detail, but as no author is cited I suppose this may be a lapsus for “ Tephroclystia sp.”, i. e. an un¬ 
determined species. I call attention to the reference in the hope that some further elucidation may be forth¬ 
coming. 
E. trita Trti. “19 mm.” Said to be distinguishable at once from all other Eupithecia by its very un- trita. 
usual colour; forewing greyish with a rosy tinge, marked with a multitude of blackish-brown dots and waved 
striae, cell-mark black, narrow and elongate; hindwing without the rosy tinge, the markings only develo¬ 
ped in the part which is not covered, in the resting-posture, by the forewing. The figure shows the wings 
to be moderately elongate but not acute, the markings, as its author says, minute and “trite”. One specimen 
(probably $) from Bengasi. Unless it may belong to the unitaria assemblage, I cannot suggest a position for it. 
E. minimaria Trti. “The smallest Tephroclystia [Eupithecia] , only 8 mm from tip to tip." Whitish, minimaria. 
the lines yellowish-reddish, not (excepting the “predistal”) forming conspicuous spots at costa; discal dot of 
forewing small, black, the line outside it forming here a cuspidate angle, then running to the hindmargin in 
three undulations; even the terminal line is not black but lutescent, on the hindwing punctiform; hindwing 
with the cell-mark rather diffuse. Both wings beneath with the cell-mark enlarged. Cyrenaica: Giarabub,
