 (Plate LIII. fig. 9.) 



Antennae cinereous, faintly barred with fuscous. Head and 

 Thorax whitish, the former with a strong admixture of dark rust- 

 IU-OWM scales, especially on the middle of the crown; face and 

 eye-caps white beneath. Forewings white, thickly besprinkled 

 with fuscous and fa vvii- brown scaling; a blackish blotch, on the 

 middle of the dorsum, is produced outward at its upper edge, and 

 diluted in the direction of the apex, meeting, beyond the end of 

 the cell, a corresponding shade bent downward from the middle 

 of the costa, along which it can be traced narrowly to the base ; 

 the white ground-colour is always more clearly exhibited alongside 

 of the darker shades and patches ; apical cilia white, sprinkled 

 with black scales, dorsal cilia greyish. Exp. al. 7-8 mm. 

 Hindwings shining, pale grey ; cilia brownish grey. Abdomen 

 grey. Legs brownish grey.

Hob. TENERIFE': Guirnar, 23-30. III. 1907, *Pkagnalon 

 saxatile, 27. II, excl. 24. Ill - 12. IV. 1907. Twenty-two 

 specimens, nineteen bred. 



Nearest to fatigatella Hdn., but the costal shade is less pro- 

 nounced, and more limited to the costa, tending to spread, not 

 toward the dorsum, but rather toward the tornus. The larva is 

 common at Guimar on Phaqnalon saxatile.
