tributing to the subapical incision, are continued along the termen 

 to the tornus, with their basal halves bronzy cupreous ; at the 

 tornus is a short, silvery white, triangular spot, and from the 

 middle of the clorsum arises a rather slender, slightly curved, 

 outwardly oblique, white silvery streak, which nearly reaches to 

 the apex of the first costal streak above it. Exp. al. 6-6'5 mm. 

 Hindwings bronzy grey; cilia scarcely paler. Abdomen bronzy 

 fuscous. Legs bronzy greyish, the spurs and joints white.

Nearly allied tofischerieUaZ.,l)iit differing in the middle white 

 costal streak being always nearer to the following than to the 

 preceding pair, whereas in Jischeriella it is equidistant between 

 them. It also differs in the more evenly slender, and more pro- 

 duced, oblique dorsal streak, which always reaches as far as, or a 

 little beyond, the apex of the first costal. G. fortunatella is 

 smaller than pygmaeella, and is common in the neighbourhood of 

 Guimar, in the Barranco Badajos ; it occurs also at Villa Orotava 

 and Realejo.

Prof. Rebel (I. c. 5) records francillonana from Tenerife, on the 

 strength of a specimen in Mr. White's collection, remarking that 

 it was almost certainly the same as the specimen collected by 

 von Hedemann, at Santa Cruz, May 3rd, 1895, which (I. c. 3) 

 he had identified as *flagellana. I met with francillonana, also 

 at Santa Cruz, in February, feeding among the seeds of Todaroa 

 aurea, an indigenous Umbellifer. The larvae soon left the seed- 

 heads, and as I had taken no stems of the plant, when leaving 

 Santa Cruz, they travelled restlessly round the bottles for many
