Crambide, and Phycidx collected in Madeira, 585 
evidently belongs to the same sub-division as the pre- 
ceding species. 
Botys ruficostalis, Ld. 
One specimen from Madeira, and I have recently 
received others from this island. 
Botys numeralis, var. Illutalis, Guen. 
There are five specimens of a Botys very nearly allied 
to numeralis. Guenée says his species may be a local

Nomophila noctuella, Schiff. 
Common up to 2000 feet. 
Margarodes unionalis, Hb. 
Not uncommon. 
Diasema ramburialis, Dup. 
Fairly common. 
Crambus atlanticus, W oll.* 
“Alis anticis apice acutis, saturate griseo-ochreis, costa anguste 
albida, dorso basim versus albido, vitta centrali albida a basi 
perducta, pone medium in ramos, fracta plagaque fusea interrupta, 
plaga:heec postice nigro et albido marginata est ; palpis longius- 
culis ; antennis filiformibus, nec pectinatis ; capite vittaque cen- 
trali thoracica albis. Exp. alar. 13 lin. Inhabits Madeira proper ; 
abounding in grassy spots during the summer months at inter- 
mediate and lofty elevations.” 
Primaries greyish ochre, with a moderately broad white longi- 
tudinal stripe from base to four-fifths length of wing, which 
broadens outwards, and, as the short diagnosis says, is broken into 
veins towards the costa, between which are dark dustings (visible 
only in fresh specimens) ; the ground colour from this stripe to the
