■962 LORD WALSINGHAM OX THE [jSTov. 26, 



Cistus mons2)eliensis. I found numerous cases at Guimar, at the 

 end of March, from which I bred two specimens only at the end 

 of September and the beginning of October. I have always found 

 helianthemella an extremely difficult species to rear, under the 

 conditions to which a travelling entomologist is i-estricted, and 

 conjluella presents similar difficulties, for I bred only the two 

 specimens mentioned, although larvae were collected subsequently 

 at La Laguna in the beginning of May. 



68-'*. COLEOPHORA SP. ? 



Three cases found on Adenocarpus foliolosus, at Guimar, 26th 

 February, were extremely similar to those of covfluella, and might 

 have been taken for stray specimens from the Helianthemitm, had 

 I not observed traces of their feeding on the leaves. They were 

 slightly smaller than the others, but would not feed in captivity 

 and I failed to rear them.

 costal cilia ; other still fainter greyish lines running throughout 

 the wing-length, one along the upper edge of the cell throwing 

 three slender branches to the costa along the principal veins ; 

 one along the middle of the cell leaves the costa near the base, 

 approaching and running parallel to the termen, another lying 

 below it along the fold; cilia pale stone-grey. Exjj. al. 13 mm.

The nearest approach to this species in our Eui'opean lists is 

 algidella Stgr., which it greatly resembles in colouration and in
