Hal). Madeiras 1 MADEIRA 1 . Canaries TENERIFE : Puerto 

 Orotava, Ruta pinnata, 14. V, excl. 4. VI - 1. VII. 1907 

 ( Wlmn .). Twenty-four specimens. 



The pale screen larva rolls the leaves of Ruta pinnata, an 

 indigenous and somewhat local plant, to which my attention was 

 specially called by my friend Dr. George Perez, after whom I 

 have named this Agonoj>teryx, and whose great assistance in the 

 botanical work connected with my study of the Tenerife Lepidoptera 

 I gratefully acknowledge. 



As compared with Agonopteryx applana F., the chief points of 

 difference noticeable in perezi are that the pale basal patch is 

 sharph' annulate (not curved outward) at the radius, along and 

 above which are some distinctly ochreous scales; the discal spots 

 are yellowish, not white, and the antennae are shorter. Looking 

 again at the rather poor specimen which I recorded from Madeira, 

 as applana, in 1 894, I am now inclined to regard this as perezi.

Antennae smoky fuscous. Palpi cinereous, densely speckled 

 with smoky fuscous externally, and with a fuscous ring above the 

 middle of the terminal joint. Head and Thorax pale slaty greyish, 

 more or less sprinkled with tawny fuscous. Forewings slaty 

 greyish, suffused, and obscurely blotched, with smoky fuscous; a 

 very dark patch at the base, below the fold, leaving a narrow pale 

 margin within it, is diluted upward and outward, and followed 

 by two clouds of a similar colour on the cell, one before arid one 

 beyond the middle, of which the first is the darker, owing to black 

 scaling continued from its lower edge in a series of two or three 

 small spots reaching to the end of the cell; beyond the cell is 

 a strong, outwardly curved, dark fuscous shade, preceding the 

 speckled margin and cilia, the latter are delicately rosy- tipped. 

 Exp. al. 1719 mm. Hindwinys and cilia pale, shining, rosy 

 cinereous. Abdomen and Leys shining, cinereous ; the tarsi with 

 four fuscous bands.
