 20. VI. 1907 (IVlsm.). Seven specimens. 



Larvae found in April and May, at Guimar and near Orotava, 

 on Senecio (Cineraria} populifolius and heritieri, mining between 

 the upper and under surfaces of the leaves, causing a slightly 

 puckered appearance, but very difficult to detect owing to their 

 pale greenish white colour. Six specimens bred in June, and a 

 single cj taken on the wing above Arafo, April 13th. 



Allied to assimilella Tr., but easily separated by the distinct 

 black spotting on the under side of the costa of the forewings, which 

 are, as are also the hindwings, much paler than in that species.

The only named species, of the unrestricted genus Depressaria, 

 recorded by Rebel in his complete list (1906) is conciliatella. In 

 1894 (I. c. 2), I wrote that if I had rightly identified this species 

 it was very variable. I have now two specimens, bred from larvae 

 feeding in the leading shoots of Cytisus proliferus, from Pedro Gil 

 and Agua Mansa respectively, which are much darker than the 

 Madeiran examples, but not distinguishable in the position and 

 character of the markings. Professor Rebel, throughout his 

 description, compares conciliatella with " yeatiana F.," but it is 

 much more nearly allied to scopariella Hnm., from which indeed 

 some of the less speckled varieties are almost indistinguishable. 

 The easiest way to separate them is by the costal markings on the 

 underside : in conciliatella there is a wide pale band around costa 

 and termen, much peppered and streaked with fuscous along the 

 basal half of the costa : in scopariella the pale band is narrower 

 and decidely less speckled.
