NOTES ON SOME BUTTERFLIES OF TENERIFE (PART I). 

 BT SIDNEY CBOMPTON. 



The Lepidopterous fauna of most oceanic islands, whether situ- 

 ated in tropical or temperate latitudes, with the exception, perhaps, of 

 the islands of the Malay Archipelago, found by AVallace to be rich in 

 insects, is very poor. The Canaries are what are called continental 

 islands, i. e., islands which have, in some remote geological period, 

 belonged to an adjacent continent, in this case to the great continent 

 of West Africa. Lanzarote, one of the Canary group, and the most 

 oriental, is distant only twenty miles from the African coast. 



The whole aggregate area of the seven islands yields ouly thirty- 

 four Macros and sixty-three Micros. Our information as to these is 

 still far from complete and satisfactory, despite the labours of Eebel,
