212 Mr. H, T. Stainton on new species of Madeiran Lepidoptera. 



dam) anguli analis saturate fusca ; alis posticis albidis cinereo- 

 reticulatis. — Exp. al. 7 lin. 



Not closely allied to any known species : the dark basal 

 half of the anterior wings and the reticulated appearance of 

 the pale posterior wings furnish it with rather striking cha- 

 racters. 



Inhabits Madeira proper. 



13. Tinea pellionella, Linnseus. 

 Tinea pellionella, Stainton, Mus. Cat. p. 14. 



Two specimens of this insect, which is probably co-extensive 

 with the human race, are among Mr. Wollaston's captures from 

 Madeira proper and the Southern Dezerta ; one of them is rather 

 darker than usual, but does not appear to be specifically distinct. 



14. Plutella Cruciferarum, Zeller. 

 Plutella Cruciferarum, Stainton, Mus. Cat. p. 43. 



A specimen of this insect in no way differs from English spe- 

 cimens ; it was taken in Madeira proper. 



15. Gelechia ocellatella, n. sp, 



G. alis anticis obscure ochreis, fascia postica parum angulata dilutiore, 

 sub costa fusco-marmorosis, puncto plicae ante medium saturate 

 fusco, albido-cincto ; ciliis apicis iiigricantibus. — Exp. al. 6 lin. 



This insect reminds one slightly of Gelechia costella and macu- 

 liferella, but is readily distinguished from both by the indistinct- 

 ness of the costal blotch and by the ocellated spot on the fold. 



Inhabits Porto Santo. 



16. Gelechia Portosanctana, n. sp. 



G. alis anticis brunnescenti- ochreis, striga obllqua ante costse medium 

 fusca, puncto nigro plicae ante medium ; ciliis costalibus posticis- 

 que fuscis. — Exp. al. 6 lin. 



Two specimens, rather worn. It is not impossible that this 

 may be only a form of the preceding species, from which it 

 differs in the absence of the nebular costal blotch, and the in- 

 distinctness of the spot in the fold, which is devoid of the ocel- 

 lated appearance. 



Inhabits Porto Santo. 



17. Gelechia submissella, n. sp. 



G. alis anticis griseo-ochreis, dorso late, striga obliqua ante medium, 

 fascia postica angulata dilutioribus, puncto plicae ante medium, 

 duobus disci nigris, dilutius circumcinctis. — Exp. al. 4^ lin. 



Allied to G. Artemisiella ; but the inner margin of the ante-
