1907. I MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF TEXERIFE. 1019 



Setomorpha and referred to Ainydria Clms. Setomorpha grena- 

 della Wlsm. [Pr. Z. Soc. Loud.' 1897. 168-9, no. 282 (1897)] 

 has strongly developed, folded, ma.\ill;iri<>s arid must be placed in 

 Dendromura Wlsm. The genus Setomorpha Z. is thus regain led 

 as consisting of the single species insectella F., of which the 

 Miioiiyrny is given above. 



There seems little doubt that Fabricius described rutella Z. under 

 the name insectella: in his description "posticoe" appears to be 

 used in the sense of " postice " (possibly a misprint) and to apply 

 to the forewings.

Mr. Eaton made the following note on his series of Tinea 

 immaculatella Rbl. arid his single specimen of this species : " Out 

 of dead Agave (aloes). I believe they also breed in dead Opuntia" 

 I bred a single specimen, May 31st, from a larva found at Puerto 

 Orotava, in rubbish among roots on April 24th.
