Extract

Two generic names are at present in use for those North American species of the Eupithecia group which show specialized frontal development. Nasusina Pears. (1908, Can. Ent., XL, 344) was proposed for the species originally included in the European genus Gymnocelis Mab. by Hulst, with inferior Hlst. designated as genotype. Seven species, all with supposedly “nose-like prominence of the front”, were originally listed in the genus; later the same author (1909, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., XI, 119; 1910, op. cit. XII, 138) added several species, including two new ones.
