1907.] MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF TEXEKII K. 967 



examining my series of pulcherrimella, collected in Madeira hv 

 \\Ollastoii. with the addition of specimens subsequently received 

 from Eaton, and my own from Teiierife, J am surprised to find 

 that there is not a, specimen of tnrbidella from Madeira. Mr. 

 Eaton notes (MS., 1(5. IY. 1904) that "The Co8inopl<>,'!/.>' so 

 common at Guimar. and Puerto (de la Cruz) Orotava [i. e. turbi- 

 </>//(/ 111)1.]. was also plentiful on Par'n'tui'tn^ at Funchal, in the 

 garden of the Carmo Hotel" ; but his specimens of pulcherrimella 

 \\viv taken at "Funchal: at altitude of about 600ft., 26. II. 

 190:2: out of Eupcdoriuvn adennphorum Spreng.," one of the 

 < 'ontpositae. This plant should be searched, but it is not a 

 probable food-plant for pulckerrimellaVhml)., which in the United 

 States feeds on Pilea pumila, one of the Urticaceae. 



Gosmopteryx turbidella is by no means consistent in the colour 

 of the yellow fascia ; this, in some specimens, is almost obsolete 

 through the strength of the brownish suffusion ; in others the 

 colour is only slightly influenced in tone, while rarely it is of a 

 clear orange-yellow, without partial shading or suffusion. I have 

 again carefully compared all the specimens, without being able 

 to detect any difference between the American and Madeiran 

 specimens of pulcherrimella.

 with a worn example, at La Lacuna, in June.
