Academy of Sciences of Hungary. The three homaima species were caught by him at the same time and place (Mt. Korab) where the other scientists were working. I can explain the curious collecting of homaima by the coleopterist member only by the fact that they were swept out of the grass by the beetlecollecting net, to which also their somewhat torn appearance testifies. Dr С s i к i communicated this verbally to me. .The Holotype and the two paratypes are in the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Fig. 17., of the male genitalia shows the armature and the aedoeagus. * Eupista etelka sp. n. Alar exp. : 12 mm. — Belongs to Heinemann's Group A. — Male : Head and thorax shining silvery white. Antennae 3 / 4 , white. Labial palpi white, twice as long as head, straight, 2nd joint with appressed scales, third as long as second, slender, pointed. Forewings with no pattern at all, shining white (silvery white); ciliae of the same color as forewings with some yellowish tinge on dorsum. Hindwings of thesame color as forewings with some greyish tint; ciliae yellowish light gray. Underside of wings whitish grey, light. Abdomen white ; anal tuft with yellowish tint. Legs white, shiny. Female : same as male, but forehead and base of antennae yellowish. Figs. 18. 19. show the male genital armature. This new species must, judged by its external appearance, be relegated to H e i n e m a n n's Group A. It lives presumably on Vactinium myrtillus, as the circumstances of its capture makes this the most plausible assumption. I know of no other Eupista in this group (in Europe) which has this light color. With some stress of imagination it may be likened to iuncicolella Stt., which is, however, much darker and also smaller. Besides, this species lives on Calluna, and I caught iuncicocella at the same place and time as my etelka series. Collecting locality : Uzsa, on the vesternmost ridges of the Bakony Mts., Western Hungary, in a Betuletum —Callunetum (with Betula pubescens,Vactinium myrtillum, Calluna vulgaris, Sarothaninus scoparius, etc.). I caught the first (Holotype) specimen on the afternoon of 27, May, 1952, flying low among Vaccinium bushes, whilst six females (Allotype and paratypes) were collected during the night of the same day (21—22 p. m.), flying also among Vaccinium at the foot of my collecting lamp. They did not take to the sheet nor to the lamp but were caught by killing bottles among the leaves of Vaccinium ; (flight to light was very scarce owing to rather low temperature). I dedicate this species, with gratification, to Mrs. Etelka Drozdy, preperatress of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, my most assiduous help during collecting trips. All type specimens in the Collection of the Museum. Eupista eupepla sp. n. Alar exp. : 17—18 mm. — Belongs to Heinemann's Group F. — Head, thorax, scapulae white. Labial palpi 2,5 as long as head, porrect, second joint very long with its bush reaching to the tip of third joint. Antennae 3 / 4 , white, unringed, with very small (if any) basal bush. Forewing long, apical part slightly curved, costa with broad, pure white (not shining) streak, ending continued in
