Tortricide, and Tineidex of the Madetra Islands. 547 
Brastopasis, Z. 
Ayeins 3 and 4 of the hindwings coincident, 5 from the same 
point as 3-+-4. 
Blastobasis lavernella, Wism., sp. n. 
Antenne notched in the g¢ above the basal joint ; greyish, basal 
joint ochreous. Palpi ochreous, the outer side of the second joint 
shaded with greyish-brown along its lower half nearly to the apex, 
on the upper side paler than the apical joint. Mead and Thorax 
ochreous, tegule shaded with greyish-brown. Forewings ochreous, 
mixed with reddish-ochreous mottlings, and shaded with patches of 
greyish-brown, forming two irregular oblique fasciaform bands on 
the basal half of the wing and two waved streaks on the apical 
half ; the first oblique band passes outwards to the costal margin 
before the middle from about the inner third of the fold ; the 
second, forming a patch on the dorsal margin at one-third, runs 
parallel with the first to the costa about the middle, or extending 
slightly beyond it, the two are sometimes connected by a slight 
cross-streak on the dise ; at the commencement of the costal cilia 
a greyish-brown quadrangular spot, narrowly produced outwards 
beyond the cell, reverts to the anal angle joining a spot of the 
same colour, which is produced upwards and inwards to the end of 
the cell ; between this and the outer of the two oblique fasciz lies 
a small spot of the same colour immediately above the fold at two- 
thirds from the base; cilia greyish-ochreous with a greyish-brown 
line running around the apex and apical margin near their base, 
but dying out before reaching the anal angle ; this is preceded by 
a faintly-indicated marginal line on the wing within it, Hindwings 
shining, pale stramineous ; cilia pale ochreous. Abdomen shining, 
pale stramineous, the segments indicated by greyish lines. Legs 
shining, pale ochreous. Hap. al., 15-16 mm. 
Type. 8. Mus. Wlsm. 
Hab. Madeira; three specimens. 
This species is apparently allied to Blastobasis de- 
colorella, Wlstn., but has somewhat deeper colouring, 
with a different arrangement of its more pronounced 
markings, and has much the general appearance of 
Laverna ochraceella.
