586 Mr. G. 'T. Bethune-Baker on the Pyralide, ete. 
inner margin is very much darker, often, in fact, ochreous brown. 
“Costa anguste albida.” This is not atall constant. Hind margin 
darkly dotted. Fringes grey, with a double dividing line. Second- 
aries brownish grey, dark at the apex, becoming quite pale near the 
anal angle. Fringes whitish, with a dividing line. Palpiaslong as 
head and thorax, white above, head white, thorax white, with 
chestnut patagiae ; abdomen same colour as secondaries. The ? 
is similar to the ¢, but somewhat paler. 
This species belongs to the ¢ristellus and selasellus 
eroup, but is a finer and handsomer insect. 
EHnomene ocellea. 
I have in Wollaston’s collection two fine specimens, 
and have recently received others from Madeira. 
Myelois cinerella, Sttn. 
There are two fine specimens of this insect in the 
National Museum. Mr. Stainton says (Ann. and Mag. 
Nat. Hist. 1859, 3rd ser., III., p. 211) it is not closely 
allied to any known species, and inhabits the Northern 
Dezerta. His diagnosis is as follows :— 
“Alis anticis angustulis dilute griseo-ochreis, fusco valde suffusis 
striga priore obliqua, posteriore sinuata, ciliis dilute griseo-ochreis. 
Exp. alar. 10—11 lin. An obscure-looking insect, not closely allied 
to any known species; the labial palpi are unusually short, and 
the median vein of the posterior wing is trifid, as in /. com- 
positella.” 
Ephestia gnidiella, Mill. 
A few specimens, which present no unusual features. 
Ephestia interpunctella, Hb. 
Abundant at Funchal. 
Galeria melonella, L. 
Common; one specimen is very remarkable, being 
almost black. 
Achreea grisella, F. 
One or two specimens, which differ in no way from the 
ordinary type.
