Antemedian of fore wing brown, postemdian white, backed by a greyish shadow. Discal spot black. Terminal field wide, darker brown than rest of wing, with a submarginal stripe composed of minute yellow lunules. Hind wing with transverse stripes yellowish white, discal spot black. Underside of wings brownish yellow, pattern elements conspicuous. Cilia short, densely striated brown and yellowish brown. Genitalia. 9 : Bursa copulatrix oval, anteriorly densely padded with long chitinous spines, medially with a chitinous band decurrent posteriorad, bearing short and wide spines. Cervical part heavily sclerotized. Antrum very wide, sclerotized. Both anterior and posterior apophyses short. Papillae anales wide, flattened (Fig. 5). — çf unkown. Biology —- First stages and foodplant unknown. The holotype specimen was collected in July. Distribution —• Known from Pakistan. Locus typicus: Swat, Kalam, 2000 m. Specific differences— With respect to external morphology, the new species displays features characteristic partly of E, inturbata HBN., partly of E. laquearki Hs. The female genitalia differ essentially from those of both the above species. Holotype 9 : "W-Pakistan Swat, Kalam 2000 m, 9.7.1969 G. Ebert leg." "Gen. prep. No. 12.091 9 E>r. A.

Hung., 22: 203-204, Figs. 1 :E, 2:D) — A fine female specimen, representing the species described from Likiang, China, was found in the material from North India. The specimen has been captured in the autumn (September) which also agrees with most of the data known so far. I found no external morphological or anatomic differences as compared to the Chinese exemplars. A more detailed illustration of the female genitalia is now submitted (Fig. 6). Examined material: 1 9 North India, Bhim valley (Naini valley), 1450 m, 9.9.1973, at light, Ige. S. Richter. S 1 i de : No. 12.123 (9), gen. prep. A. Vojnits. 6. Eupithecia repetita sp. n. (Figs. 7-8) (Derivation of specific name : repetitus = repeated) Diagnosis —• Average alar expanse of male fore wings 17.5 mm, extreme values 17 and 19 mm (based on 5 specimens); of female fore wings 18.5 mm, extreme values 17.5 mm and 21 mm. Wings wide. Basic colour of fore wings fuscous, median field the darkest. Antemedian a wide, double, greyish yellow stripe, postmedian more yellowish. Median field with a yellowish band in its median line, its lower half with a long brown shadow. Discal spot large, black, long, marked. Terminal field with a yellowish submarginal.

Underside of wings greyish yellow, pattern elements extraordinarily conspicuous. Cilia short, striated grey and greyish yellow. Genitalia, çf : Male genitalia very characteristic: valva very wide, angular; uncus much elongated; saccus wide; aedoeagus cylindrical with elongate chitinous formations. Sternite VIII squat, short, with short and wide arms; basally incised (Fig. 8); — 9 : Bursa copulatrix pyriform, about three-fourths padded with chitinous spines, its posterior quarter heavily sclerotized. Anterior apophyses short, posterior ones medium long. Papillae anales small (Fig. 7). 1 5 Természettudományi Múzeum Évkönyve 1981
