Mr. H. T. Stainton on new species of Madeiran Lepidoptera . 209 



thiglis^ together with the abdomen, fulvous, the latter with a 

 transverse black band on all the segments (with the exception of 

 the last), the pubescence on the black portions concolorous; 

 under surface of the thighs and tibiae fringed with bright fulvous 

 hairs ; posterior femora moderately incrassate, ovate. 



Hab. Old Calabar. 



This species is nearly allied by its general form to P. atripes ; 

 the difference in the shape of its thorax will, however, at once 

 distinguish it from that species. 



Poecilomorpha fulvipennis, 



P. elongata, subangustata, convexa, nigra, nitida, fulvo-hirsuta ; 

 faciei elytrisque maculis duabus flavo-fulvis. — Long. 4 lin. 



Elongate, subangustate, convex, shining black ; whole body 

 covered with coarse pale fulvous hairs; two patches between 

 the eyes rufo-fulvous ; the elytra flavo-fulvous. Head shining, 

 distantly punctured; the labrum, the anterior margin of the 

 clypeus, and two patches between the eyes, rufo-fulvous. Thorax 

 subcyhndrical, constricted at the base and apex ; sides produced 

 behind into an indistinct subacute process ; surface transversely 

 grooved at the base and apex, shining, impunctate. Scutellum 

 triangular, shining black, longitudinally grooved. Elytra broader 

 than the thorax; sides parallel; apex rounded, dehiscent at the 

 suture ; above convex, distinctly and closely punctured ; flavo- 

 fulvous. Beneath shining black, covered with coarse pale hairs ; 

 posterior thighs slightly incrassate, elongate-ovate. 



Hah. Port Natal. 



Similar in form to P. afra, but easily separated from that 

 insect by the produced sides of the thorax and by the narrower 

 scutellum, as also by the different coloration.

 laston, Esq.; with descriptions of some neiv species. By

1. Eupithecia Insulariata, n. sp. 



E, alis anticis fuscis, albido-lineatis, dorse et margins postieo ferrugineo 

 suffusis ; fascia tenui ferruginea ante lin earn subterminalem alarum 

 posticarum; abdomine ferrugineo punctato. — Exp. al. 9 lin. 



Allied to Eupithecia pumilata ; but the central portion of the 

 wing darker, the second paler fascia more angulated and in- 

 dented, and especially distinguished by the reddish fascia on 

 the posterior wings and the reddish spots on the abdomen. 



Inhabits Madeira proper, Porto Santo, Dezerta Grande, .&c.
