Mr. H. T. Stainton on new species of Madeiran Lepidoptera. 211 



obliqua, signo Q subobsoleto, spatio antemarginali grisesceute. — 

 Exp. al. 9-10 lin. 



Closely allied to E. angustea, but the anterior wings even 

 narrower and more pointed, the ground-colour of a more uniform 

 grey, and the mercurial marking far more indistinct. 



Inhabits Madeira proper and the Dezerta Grande. 



8. Myelois cinerella, n. sp. 



M. alls anticis angustulis dilute griseo-ochreis, fusco valde suffusis, 

 striga piiore obliqua, posteriore sinuata, ciliis dilute griseo-ochreis. 

 —Exp. al. 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 wings is trifid, as in M. compositella. 



Inhabits the Northern Dezerta. 



9. Ephestia elutella, Hiibner. 

 Ephestia elutella, Stephens, Mas. Cat. p. 20. 



A specimen of this cosmopolitan insect is rather neater and 

 greyer than the species generally occurs, but does not appear to 

 be specifically distinct. 



10. Tortrix ? reticulata, n. sp. 



T. alis anticis brunneis, saturate brunneo irroratis, fascia antica et ma- 

 cuhs duabus posticis obsolete dilutioribus ; alis posticis albis cinereo- 

 reticulatis. — Exp. al. 1 unc. 1-2 lin. 



Not allied to any species with which I am acquainted. Froui 

 its large size, it has almost the appearance of a Chilo ; but the 

 broad brown anterior wings and grey-chequered white posterior 

 wings give it quite a peculiar character. 



Inhabits Madeira proper. 



11. Tortrix subcostana, n. sp. 



T. alis anticis brunueo-ochreis, fascia obliqua saturatiore extus dentem 

 emittente, costa postiee fusco-punctata ; ahs posticis albis. — Exp. 

 al. 9 Hn. 



Allied to Tortrix costana, but distinguished by the fascia not 

 becoming paler in the middle, and emitting a tooth posteriorly, 

 and by the absence of the costal blotch towards the apex. 



Inhabits Madeira proper. 



12. Tortrix retiferana, n. sp. 



T. alis anticis brunneo-ochreis, area basali oblique desinente saturatiore, 

 macula obliqua saturate brunnea a costae medio in fasciam rectam 

 latiusculam obsolete saturatiorem desinente, macula parva (inter-
