Mr. H. T. Stainton on new species of Madeiran Lepidoptern. 213 



rior wings distinctly and broadly pale ochreous, and the spots 

 more contrasted from their being sui-rounded with pale rings. 

 Inhabits Porto Santo. 



18. Gelechia fasciata, u. sp. 



G, alls anticis griseis, saturatius nebulosis, fascia media obliqua lata 

 externa dentata, fasciaque postica angulata albidis. — Exp. al. 

 41 lin. 



Not closely allied to any known species : it reminds one rather 

 of domestica ; but the ordinary spots are lost in the dark ground- 

 colour. The broad central pale fascia with its outer edge toothed, 

 affords the most striking character of the insect. 



Inhabits Dezerta Grande. 



19. Gelechia Anthyllidella, Hiibner. 

 Gelechia Anthyllidella, Stainton, Mus. Cat. p. 82. 

 Exp. al. 4i lin. 



A specimen, rather smaller than usual, appears to be referable 

 to this species. 



Inhabits Porto Santo. 



20. Gelechia Elachistella, n. sp. 



G. alis anticis fuscis, parum nitidis, maculis posticis oppositis albidis ; 

 capite griseo, fronte albido. — Exp. al. 3 lin. 



Smaller even than G. captivella, and with the fascia divided 

 into two opposite spots ; back of the head grey — by no means 

 snowy white as in G. captivella. 



Inhabits the Northern Dezerta. 



21. Pterolonche'i Maderensis, n. sp. 



P. alis anticis longis, acuminatis, albidis parum griseo irroratis. — 

 Exp. al. 6-8 lin. 



The ascending palpi, with a projecting tuft of scales from the 

 second joint, and with a slender terminal joint, remind one of 

 Plutella ; but the form of the wings, and the eyserted ovipositor 

 of the female, the flattened abdomen, &c., abundantly distin- 

 guish these insects from the Plutellidce. 



Inhabits Porto Santo and the Northern Dezerta ; abounding 

 in barren rocky places. 



22. Endrosis fenestrella, Scopoli. 

 Endrosis fenestrella, Stainton, Mus. Cat. p. 99. 

 Inhabits Madeira proper.
