Six specimens taken, and one bred from an Umbellifer, growing 

 under drij^ping rocks on the sea-coast, near Orotava. The plant 

 appeared to be the same as tha.t from which I bred this species in 

 Corsica, in 1898, and which was named for me at the time 

 " Heloscyadium, sp", but I am not sure that the species occurs in 

 Tenerife : in any case my botanical knowledge is quite inadequate 

 to decide the point from such specimens as were available at the 

 date on which the larva was found near Orotava. My experience 

 is, that this species occurs only on marshy ground ; I have also 

 bred it from Peucedanum pcdustre, gathered at the mouth of the 

 Var, on the Riviera, and from Reracleum sp.^ at Tangier.

Antennae smoky fuscous. Pal2n cinereous, the median joint 

 thickly sprinkled with black and tawny on the outer side, except 

 in a narrow band around its upper end ; terminal joint with a 

 narrow black band around its base, a broader one before its apex, 

 -and the extreme apex miniately black. Head and Thorax cinereous, 

 more or less tinged with fuscous ; the latter with an elevated crest 

 posteriorly. Poretoings tawny reddish fuscous, with smoky black 

 suffasion and speckling ; a pale ochreous patch at the extreme 

 base, its outer edge straight and black-margined to the upper edge 

 of the cell, above which it is angulated and produced outward 

 along the costa, and gradually absorbed in the darker ground- 

 colour ; on the cell, at one-third, are two clearly defined, almost 

 contiguous, but obliquely diverging, black spots, the lower one 

 slightly beyond the upper — both followed by a few ochreous scales, 

 produced and broken into two spots, in line with the lower one 

 on the cell ; the slightly paler costa is obscurely spotted with dark 

 fuscous throughout, and the termen is also narrowly spotted, the 

 fuscous shading on the wing tending to follow and indicate the 

 neuration ; cilia corresponding in colour to the wing-surface ; 

 underside shining, sericeous, the costa and termen strongly speckled 

 with fuscous. Exp>. al. 16-20 mm. Hindwings and cilia shining, 

 pale cinereous, the cilia with slender parallel shade-lines running 

 through them ; underside shining, sericeous, the costa and termen 

 strongly speckled with fuscous. Abdomen and Legs pale cinereous, 

 the tarsi with four fuscous bands.
