Genus Gelechia, Hiibn. 



Gelechia pulchra. 



G. alis anticis rufo-brunncis, dorso albido, punctis tribus disci nigris 

 cum duobus albis alteruantibus, fascia postica albida fere recta ; 

 capite thoraceque lacteis. — Exp. alar. 4 liu. 



Inhabits the Dezerta Grande, where it was captured by myself 

 in June 1855. According to Mr. Stainton, it is closely alUed 

 to the G. marmorca of higher latitudes; but the hind fascia is 

 straighter (as in G. pundella), and the head, thorax, and the 

 inner margin of the anterior wings are cream-coloured. 



Gelechia nigromaculata. 



G. alis auticis albis, punctis tribus nigris costoe, uno basaU, secundo 

 ante et tertio pone medium, maculis duabus nigris dorsi, una ante 

 (interdum cum puncto secundo costse connexa), altera pone me- 

 dium ; apice nigro-punctato ; capite thoraceque albis. — Exp. alar. 

 5 liii. 



Inhabits Madeira and the Southern Dezerta; having been 

 captured by myself on the latter at the beginning of June, and 

 in the former (at Feijiia d^Ovelha) at the beginning of July 1855. 



Genus (Ecophora, Lat. 



(Ecophora marmorosella. 



CE. alis anticis griseis, saturatius marmoratis, fascia ante medium 

 subdistincta, punctis duobus nigris oblique positis pone fasciam, 

 primo disci, secundo supra plicam, punctis duobus nigris conflu- 

 entibus pone medium inter maculas fuscas oppositas ; apice fusco- 

 punctato. — Exp. alar, 7|-9 lin. 



Inhabits INIadeira, Porto Santo, and the Northern Dezerta ; 

 being more particularly abundant in the second of those islands, 

 where I captured it in profusion (principally in my tent) during 

 April and May 1855. It is allied to the (E. jjseudospretella of 

 more northern latitudes; but the anterior wings are much nar- 

 rower and more pointed, and with a cloudy fascia. 



(Ecophora ochreopalpella. 



CE. alis anticis fuscis, puncto subobsoleto saturatiore disci poue me- 

 dium ; capite fronteque ocbreis ; palporum articulo tertio ochreo. 

 — Exp. alar. 6^ lin. 



Inhabits Madeira proper. 



Genus Gracilaria, Haw, 



Gracilaria Staintoni. 



G. abs anticis dilute aureis, dorso purpureo-irrorato, costa ))arum
