of this foreign organ. This precludes not only the possibility of relegating invisa BUTLER with any reliability in the vicinity of pimpinellata HÜBNER, but also any reasonable interpretation of — pending the availability of new data — the specificity of invisa BUTLER. Accordingly, the following statements can now be made: 1. Eupithecia virgaureata invisa BUTLER cannot be considered a "status, nov." (INOUE 1980), because the interpretation of invisa at the subspecific level has already been made: Eupithecia pimpinellata invisa BUTLER (Inoue 1977). The former name should have been designated as "comb, n."; 2. On the basis of the external morphological and the anatomical features, the Japanese populations studied by INOUE (1980) represent merely the nominate subspecies of Eupithecia virgaureata DOUBLED AY; 3. Eupithecia invisa BUTLER, 1878, is to be considered a species inquierenda until the availability of decisive new data ; 4. The revision concerning the occurrence of invisa BUTLER in North Korea (VOJNITS & DE LAEVER 1978) can be made only subsequent to the solution of the contradictory interpretations concerning, that is. in cognizance of the true specificity of invisa BUTLER.
