EUPITHECIA. By L. B. Prout.

a mimite cell-dot; the other part fuscous-violaceous, divided hy a sinuous whitisli Ihie which arises before the 
cell and runs to the abdominal margin. A similar but obsolescent line before the termen, and a series of black 
dots; finally a black thread precedes the fringes. Wings beneath whitish. Madagascar, 1 9 . 
E. perigrapta Janse (11 d). 19 mm. Whitish, with some sprinkling of ochreous scales, which outside jjeri'jrapla. 
the postmedian line of the forewing becomes dense and mixed with deep pink, broadly between the radials, 
then as a line to hindmargin; the 3 principal lines of forewing black, very oblique, broad only in anterior half 
of wing, a black line along costa outside the postmedian; ill-defined black subterminal spots between the radials; 
terminal line interrupted at the veins. Hindwing with some black median and postmedian irroration and a 
zigzag pinkish subterminal line. Founded on $$ from Kowie River, Bathurst, Cape Colony. A form (?), with 
less pink admixture, is known to me from Kastrol Nek, Malta (Transvaal) and I think Estcourt (Natal) and is 
here figured. M hen the type was before me, I did not notice that these differed in the coiu’se of the lines, 
but as they are certainly not here ,,very oblique” there may be two closely similar species confused. 
E. streptozoiia Prout (11 d). A small and pale species, chiefly remarkable for its exceptional leg struc- strepiozonu. 
ture, which may possibly necessitate its removal from the genus. Hindtibia with only one proximal spur present, 
the terminal spurs of moderate length. Palpus rather short. Cell-spots large, the very fine and sinuous post¬ 
median line thickened at the costa of the forewing and abdominal region of hindwing. Station Perinet, E. of 
Tananarivo, only the ^ known. 
E. connexa Warr. (11 d). Forewing relatively short and broad, the distal margin long and curved, but connexa. 
less oblique than in most Eujnthecia. cj antenna with the ciliation very short; palpus moderate, infuseated. 
The E type, from Fovma, Unyoro, is smaller than the figured $ from Kavirondo, somewhat browner-tinged, the 
two principal lines not better indicated than the numerous others which traverse the wing, all very slender, 
sinuous, best marked on the veins; with the lens, the double pale band outside the postmedian is seen to be 
rather characteristic, its proximal half whitish, its distal with a more fleshy-brownish tinge, the fine lines which 
bound and bisect it somewhat less macular than the rest. HindAving paler anteriorly. Little known, perhaps 
confined to the region of the Victoria and Albert Nyanza. 
E. brachyptera Prout (11 d). Similar in shape to connexa, less broAAnish, cell-mark of forewing more 'braclujpicra. 
roundish, the two sections of the pale band outside the postmedian concolorous, underside rather more strongly 
marked, etc. Transvaal, the type from Pretoria; only are yet knoAvn. 
E. undiculata Prout (= vermicidata W^orr., praeocc.) (11 e). Variable in size, otherwise fairly constant. undicuMa. 
ForeAving less broad than in the two preceding, cell-dots minute or obsolete, lines Avavy but not so irregular as 
in connexa, the Avhitish ones (original ground-coloAir ?) narroAver than the more broAvnish; terminal region of 
foreAving slightly darker or greyer than the rest, Avith the slender subterminal line fairly Avill marked, not Aviclen- 
ing at tornus. HindAving pale except at distal and abdominal margins. Uganda and Kenya to 8. Rhodesia, 
the type from Torn. 
E. albicristulata Prout, named from the rather conspicuous, though very minute, white tips to the atbicrisiu- 
abdominal crests, is only knoAAn from the original taken near Nkandhla, Ziduland, in January. Palpus mo- 
derate. Antennal ciliation only about ] 2 diameter of shaft. Thorax and abdomen in part reddish broAvn. Expanse 
19 or 20 mm. Wings grey, the foreAving Avith more ferruginous tone along the veins distally, along the sid)costal 
and submedian to the base and about the origin of the 3rd radial and the medians, nowhere sharply defined; 
lines quite indefinite, especially in proximal part. HindAving jAaler, Avith minute cell-dot and darkened abdominal 
and distal margins. Underside strongly marked, especially the hinclAving, which is Avhitish, Avith 4 thick, distinct, 
complete lines, the second crossing the cell-dot. Thus the Aipperside someAvhat recalls undiculata, the underside 
hypo'phasma. 
E. adunata sp. n. (11 e). Head and front of thorax Avhite, a black spot on each side of face, a slight adunata. 
black band at its upper edge. Palpus heavily scaled, dark-marked on its outerside. Body and Avings Avhite, Avith 
drab irroration. Distinguishable by its elongate, someAvhat glossy Avings, the black A^ein-dashes (or small Avedge 
marks) at the ante- and postmedian lines, and enlarged, inAvardly oblique spot at costa, succeeded by an ex¬ 
ceptionally oblique outAvard bend of the postmedian line. Hindwing strongly marked at the abdcminal margin 
only. The white fringes sharply spotted. ForeAving beneath mostly suffused, the postmedian and subterminal 
costal spots strong. HindAving beneath more uniforndy marked than above, 5 or 6 lines (besides the terminal) 
being recognizable, though not strong. Reunion, 2 and 6 May 1922 (G. F. Leigh), 2 in the Tring Museum. 
E. lubristigma Profit. Face with tuft at loAver edge slight. Palpus 1% times diameter of eye, 2nd joint rubristigma. 
rather heavily scaled. Wing-shape about as in gradatilinea (11 e), of Avhich it may perhaps be a form. Fore¬ 
Aving whitish, Avith lighter or darker oliA^aceous suffusions, the median area rather strongly irrorated Avith blackish 
except at costal and hind margins; cell-spot red, large, nearly as broad as long; lines slight, except the 3 prin¬ 
cipal ones, Avhich are black, more or less dentate, the median touching the proximal side of the cell-spot, the 
postmedian in places thick, its course about as in gradatilinea-, subterminal markings not strong, some slight
