XXV. Descriptions of the Pyralidze, Crambide, and Phy- 
cide collected by the late T. Vernon Wollaston 
in Madeira. By Guorcr T. Bernunz-Baker, 
F.L.S. 
[Read Oct. 17th, 1894.] 
My former notes on Mr. Wollaston’s lepidopterous collec- 
tions in Madeira dealt only with Macro-lepidoptera, the 
present paper will therefore treat of the Pyralide and 
Phycide (Lord Walsingham having most kindly cata- 
logued the Pterophoridz, Tortricide, and Tineide). if 
shall, as before, follow the arrangement of Staudinger’s 
catalogue. 
Aglossa cuprealis, Hb. 
Common, very variable in size, the smallest specimen 
being barely 16 mm., or less than half the size of two or 
three of the largest. All are dark, strongly-marked 
examples. : 
Asopia farinalis, L. 
Not uncommon around Funchal. 
Scoparia decorella, Sttn. 
Described by Stainton inthe Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 
8rd ser., 1859, p. 210, thus :— 
“Alis anticis albidis, striga anteriore recta latiuscula, striga pos- 
teriore tenui arcuata et indentata, externe late saturate fusco 
marginata, signo % ochraceo expleto spatio ante marginali angusto 
albo. Exp.al.81]. In the sharp contrast of colour, this resembles 
E. resinea ; but from that species it is abundantly distinct by the 
form of the second striga, the distinct white submarginal space and 
the ochreous filling up of the mercurial marking. Inhabits Madeira 
proper.” 
This species, though like resinea, is also very close to 
lineola; its proper position will therefore be between 
these two species.
