228 [October, 



In the late M. Ragonot's copy of Staudinger'a Catalog is the 

 following note on reversana : — " Gull, oc , Vannes, 28. VI., Cannes, V., 

 Bilbao, Helichrysum stacc/ias,^ this refers doubtless entirely to versana 

 (not to reversana). 



The position of the markings is almost exactly similar to those 

 of the true reversana, Stgr., but the differences above indicated should 

 enable any one to separate the species without hesitation. [I have 

 now another closely allied species from Tenerife, feeding on Artemisia .]

This is the species referred to by me (/. c.) under the name 

 Lithocolletis adenovarpi, as Hying in myriads, and beaten and bred 

 from Adenocarpus {decorticans) in the Sierra Nevada, near Punta de 

 Veleta, about a day's march east of Granada. It is however quite 

 distinct from Staudinger'a species, being only two-thirds its size, freelv 

 dusted with white scales, and easily distinguished by its white costal 

 cilia.
