Genus Gelechia, Hiibn. 



Gelechia pulchra. 



G. alis anticis rufo-brunneis, dorso albido, punctis tribus disci nigris 

 cum duobus albis alternantibus, fascia postica albida fere recta ; 

 capite tboraceque lacteis. — Exp. alar. 4 lin. 



Inhabits tbe Dezerta Grande, wbere it was captured by myself 

 in June 1855. According to Mr. Stainton, it is closely allied 

 to the G, marmorea of higher latitudes ; but the hind fascia is 

 straighter (as in G. pundella), and the head, thorax, and the 

 •nner margin of the anterior wings are cream-coloured. 



Gelechia nigromaculata. 



G. alis anticis albis, punctis tribus nigris costse, uno basali, secundo 

 ante et tertio pone medium, maculis duabus nigris dorsi, una ante 

 (interdum cum puncto secundo costse connexa), altera pone me- 

 dium ; apice nigro-punctato ; capite tboraceque albis. — Exp. alar. 

 5 Hn. 



Inhabits Madeira and the Southern Dezerta; having been 

 captured by myself on the latter at the beginning of June, and 

 in the former (at Feijaa d'Ovelha) at the beginning of July 1855. 



Genus (Ecophora, Lat. 



(Ecophora marmorosella. 



(E. alis anticis griseis, saturatius marmoratis, fascia ante medium 

 subdistincta, punctis duobus nigris oblique positis pone fasciam, 

 primo disci, secundo supra plicam, punctis duobus nigris conflu- 

 entibus pone medium inter maculas fuscas oppositas ; apice fusco- 

 punctato. — Exp. alar. 7^-9 lin. 



Inhabits Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Northern Dezerta; 

 being more particularly abundant in the second of those islands, 

 where I captured it in profusion (principally in my tent) during 

 April and May 1855. It is allied to the CE. pseudospretella of 

 more northern latitudes ; but the anterior wings are much nar- 

 rower and more pointed, and with a cloudy fascia. 



(Ecophora ochreopalpella, 



CE. alis anticis fuscis, puncto subobsoleto saturatiore disci pone me- 

 dium ; capite fronteque ochreis ; palporum articulo tertio ochreo. 

 — Exp. alar. 6|^ lin. 



Inhabits Madeira proper. 



Genus Gracilaria, Haw. 



Gracilaria Staintoni.
