A sMALL collection of micro-lepidoptera made by the late 
T. Vernon Wollaston in Madeira, has been submitted 
to me by Mr. Bethune-Baker, together with some 
drawings by the late Professor Westwood of the types 
described by Wollaston and Stainton now in the British 
Museum. ‘lhe specimens, unfortunately, are not in good 
condition, and the majority of the species have been 
already dealt with in two papers published by those 
authors [Wollaston, T. V., “ Brief Diagnostic Characters 
of Undescribed Madeiran Insects,” Ann. and Mag. N.H. 
(3s.), I, 118—124; London, 1858. Stainton, H.'T., “ Notes 
on Lepidoptera collected in Madeira by T. V. Wollaston, 
Hsq., with Descriptions of some New Species,” Ann. and 
Mag. N.H. (8 s.), IL., 211—214; London, 1859]. 
Such as are new are described below. 
The opportunity seems to be favourable for compiling 
a complete list of the species known to occur in the 
Madeiras, which will, perhaps, form a useful parallel to 
the catalogues of micro-lepidoptera of the Canaries, lately 
published by Dr. Rebel [Rebel, H., “ Beitrag zur Micro- 
lepidopterenfauna des canarischen Archipels,’ Ann. 
K. K. Hofmus. VII., Heft., 3, 241—284, Taf. XVII., 
Wien, 1892. “Zur Lepidopterenfauna der Canaren,” 
Ann. K. K. Hofmus. IX., Heft. 1, 1—96, Taf.. L, 
Wien, 1894]. 
Mrs. Holt White has lately published a catalogue of 
the lepidoptera of Teneriffe [White, A. H. Holt, edited 
by White, R. Holt, “The Butterflies and Moths of 
Teneriffe,” pp. i— xii. and 1—107, Pl. I—IV.; London, 
1894], which, though dealing specially with the larger 
lepidoptera, gives lists of the few micros known to occur 
in that island.
