grey, the surface of the lobes somewhat shining. Abdomen con- 

 colorous with the hinclwings. Legs straw-white, or straw- brownish, 

 unspotted.

 tava, 29. IV. 07. Seven specimens. 



The larva feeds in the flowers of Phagncdoa saxatile, but the 

 species is not abundant. It is closely allied to pectodactyhis Stgr. 

 ( = chrysocomae Rgt.), but differs especially in the darkened cilia of 

 the fissure reaching fully to the base ; these are very conspicuous.

Common at Santa Cruz, Guimar, and Orotava. Two specimens 

 were bred on July 1st from larvae found feeding on Bartsia trixago, 

 at La Laguna, on June 12th. These larvae were noted as pale 

 green, with purplish dorsal line; with groujDS of hair distributed 

 evenly on each segment, and with minute black tubercular spots 

 above the spii-acles : they agreed well Avith Tatt's description of 

 the larva of hipunctidactyla (Br. Lp. V. 350), to which species I 

 have no doubt the Tenerife specimens are rightly referred.
