xii Preface. 



The author desires to offer her best thanks to Senor 

 Don Ramon Gomez, of Puerto Orotava, for his kindness 

 and courtesy in placing his large collection of Lepidoptera 

 at her disposal for study and illustration. 



The Rev. 0. A. Benthall has kindly given information 

 upon specimens which he has netted and observed ; 

 and the author is also indebted to Dr. Zorolo, of Yilla 

 Orotava, who has lent one or two rare specimens for 

 illustration. Kind assistance in naming some speci- 

 mens has been given by A. G. Butler, Ph.D., F.L.S., 

 F.Z.S., and Mr. W. F. Kirby, F.L.S., F.E.S., of the 

 British Museum ; and Mr. Bethune Baker, E.E.S., has 

 been good enough to name some of the smaller moths.
