918 LORD WALSINGHAM ON THE [Nov. '26, 



Orotava, 27. IV - 8. Y. 1907 (Wlsm.)', La Laguna, 23. Y. 1907 

 (Wlsm.)- Tacaronte, 31. Y. 1907 (Wlsm.). Fifty-nine specimens. 

 Common at Guimar, Santa Cruz, Orotava, etc. The larva is 



slightly hairy, the hairs arranged 



m , ~ A i in small divergent fascicules ; it 



Text-fig, 241, . , n & '.,, 



is or a dull glaucous green, with 



narrow, parallel, paler dorsal and 

 spiracular lines ; head pale brown ; 

 it tapers slightly toward the anal 

 segments ; all the legs uniformly 

 of the same colour as the body. 

 It feeds on the leaves of Micro- 

 meria varia, from which it is not 

 difficult to sweep or beat it into 

 ita Jiesperidella the net. 



(98829), - The species greatly resembles 



Gypsochares olbiadactyla Mill., to 



which it is precisely similar in the distribution of the white 

 margins. Some specimens are distinguishable by the possession 

 of a costal spot, but the uniformly more slender apical lobe of 

 the forewinga at once distinguishes it from the more robust 

 Gypsochares which in other respects it might almost be said 

 to mimic. Many years ago I received two specimens from the 

 late Mr. J. H. Leech, which stood in my cabinet as doubtfully 

 distinct from olbiadactyla until I bred that species.
