Cistus monspeliensis. I found numerous cases at Guimar, at the 

 end of March, from which I bred two specimens only at the end 

 of September and the beginning of October. I have always found 

 hdianthemella an extremely difficult species to rear, under the 

 conditions to which a travelling entomologist is restricted, and 

 confluella presents similar difficulties, for I bred only the two 

 specimens mentioned, although larvae were collected subsequently 

 at La Laguna in the beginning of May. 



68 a . COLEOPHORA SP. ? 



Three cases found on Adenocarpus foliolosus, at Guimar, 26th 

 February, were extremely similar to those of confliiella, and might 

 have been taken for stray specimens from the Helianthemum, had 

 I not observed traces of their feeding 011 the leaves. They were 

 slightly smaller than the others, but would not feed in captivity 

 and I failed to rear them.

Several cases of this Algerian species were found at Santa Cruz, 

 at different dates in January and February, on Salvia aegyptiaca, 

 but were not reared.

 costal cilia ; other still fainter greyish lines running throughout 

 the wing-length, one along the upper edge of the cell throwing 

 three slender branches to the costa along the principal veins 

 one along the middle of the cell leaves the costa near the base, 

 approaching and running parallel to the termen, another lying 

 below it along the fold; cilia pale stone-grey. Exp. al. 13 mm.
