Extract

As a result of further studies of Eupithecia species chiefly in connection with their genitalia, the following notes have accumulated. As they may be of some certain interest to other workers in the group, I am publishing them at the present time.

* Since the above notes were written, Mr. J. Sperry has visited the Cambridge Museum and at my request has examined the types of the above Cassino species. He writes me that the gilata Holotype is a ♀ marked ♂ and the Allotype a ♂ marked ♀, and that the Holotype does not seem to be conspecific with the rest of the series. Further, that the Holotypes of both pinata and mystiata do not fit well with the rest of the series and, in fact, that the latter looks like “a rather well-marked gilata male.” A slide had been made of the genitalia but was misplaced and could not be examined. Under such circumstances, until a very careful study of the types can be made, I propose to leave the identification of the species standing as in my notes.
