Prof. Rebel records an " unbestimbares Fragment " of a species 

 of Leioptilus from Guimar, 16. V. 1889 (Krauss)', this was probably 

 inulae Z., which is common and widely distributed in Tenerife. 

 It seems to occur wherever Inula viscosa is abundant, as at 

 Guimar, Santa Cruz, Puerto Orotava, etc. I bred specimens from 

 larvae boring the leading shoots ; they were easily distinguished 

 by their dull glaucous green colour, and by a conspicuous series 

 of blackish dorsal spots.
