clays after reaching Guimar: on being supplied with small pieces 

 of Bambusa, and of the first Umbellifer I could find, they quickly 

 gnawed their way into both of these and pupated, the moths 

 emerging from April 17th to May 29th.

Larvae found in stems of Crithmum maritimum, at Puerto 

 Orotava, in May, produced paler and darker varieties from the 

 beginning of May to the middle of July. I subsequently found 

 it in great abundance in stems of Astydamia canariensis, at 

 Bajomar, from which I reared a series of twenty specimens : 

 a careful examination of the chitinous genital appendages shows 

 them to be the same as in the Crithmum- feeder, and in a series 

 of Spanish and Corsican specimens, also reared from Crithmum. 

 A single specimen was also bred from the stems of a species of 

 Ferula, found at Puerto Orotava. Were it not for the differences 

 in the form of the uncus and claspers it would be exceedingly 

 difficult to separate this species from francillon ana, but the hind- 

 wings are almost invariably paler. A somewhat worn specimen 

 taken by Mr. Eaton, at La Laguna, in April 1904, is unfor- 

 tunately a $ , but I think it is certainly bilbaensis.
