 about five pale ochreous a mini at ions.

 leaves of Bosea yervamora, 21. IV, excl. 11-29. V. 1907. Thirty 

 specimens. 



The larva makes blotch-like mines in the leaves of Bosea 

 yervamora, an indigenous shrub (which also occurs in the West 

 Indies), on which it is by no means uncommon at Orotava ; 

 probably to be found elsewhere, as I believe I recognised the old 

 mines between La Laguna and Tegeste.

Stainton [Ann-Mag. KH. (3 s.). III. 213] recorded *anthytti- 

 della Hb. from Porto Santo (Madeiras), and described elach- 

 istella, sp. n., from Northern Deserta (Madeiras). In 1894 (1. c. 6) 

 I referred Stainton's supposed * anthyllidella to * albipalpella HS., 

 and recorded as the same species a single specimen (13617) from 

 Madeira. Rebel (1. c. 7) suggests the possibility that the species 

 recorded by me as * albipalpdla HS. ( = *anthyllideUa Stn.) might 

 be the species which he proceeds to describe as infestella RbL 

 I think this extremely probable, so far as the specimen from 

 Madeira (13617) is concerned, for I have now before me more 

 reliable exponents of albijialpella HS., and this Madeiran specimen 

 does not completely agree with them ; but it does agree with 

 psoralella Mill., which Rebel (1. c. 10) sinks as a synonym of the 

 true anthyllidella Hb. As we are all seeking for the truth, and as
