992 LORD WALSINGHAM ON THE [Nov. 26, 



Taken at Santa Cruz, in January, and at Guimar, in April 

 also bred from seeds of Asphodelus ramosus at the latter place, 

 the bred specimen being much larger (exp. al. 17 mm.) than any 

 individual of my Spanish bred series. The larvae were also 

 observed at Puerto Orotava. 



116. (1762-2) PJIALOXIA CONVERSANA, sp. n. 



(Plate LIII. fig. 6.) 



Antennae pale greyish. Palpi white, brownish fuscous on the 

 outer side of the median joint. Head and Thorax white. Fore- 

 wings white, with a faint subochreous suffusion, and a few sparsely 

 sprinkled black scales, between, but not contiguous to, the dark 

 markings, which consist of more or less thickly sprinkled black 

 scales on a browner, or greyish brown, ground ; the dark markings 

 are as follows : an elongate streak from the base of the costa, 

 a narrow medio-costal spot, a larger costal spot between this and 

 the apex, with a small one beyond it before the a.pex ; an oblique, 

 straight, dorsal streak, of even width, terminated on the cell, and 

 a faint shade above, forming a subcoritinuous fascia with the 

 medio-costal spot ; a rather triangular dorsal spot, beyond the 

 middle, half-way between the oblique streak and the tornus, with 

 some dark sprinkling above it, running obliquely in the direction 

 of the larger costal spot, and a narrow shade along the termen, 

 followed by parallel dark lines running through the cilia. Exp. 

 al. 9-14'5 mm. Hindwings slightly sinuate ; pale brownish grey ; 

 cilia shining, silvery grey, becoming shining white on their outer 

 halves. Abdomen pale brownish grey. Legs almost white, 

 unspotted. 



Type c? (99104); $ (99105) Mus. Wlsm. 



Hab. TENERIFE: Guimar, 25. Ill - 9. IV. 1907 (Wlsm.); 

 La Laguna, 6. IV. 1904 (Eaton); Puerto Orotava, 26. IV. 1907 

 (JFZsm.). Thirty-two specimens. 



Taken among Artemisia canariensis, from which, but from no 

 other plant, they were easily dislodged by beating : I was unable 

 to discover the larva. Differing from versana Wlsm. in its more 

 distinct and darker markings, and especially in the form of the 

 oblique dorsal streak, which is rather more oblique, and of even 

 width throughout.
