Taken commonly at Guimar, and bred from Senecio, C'ytisus, 

 Pinus, Mangifera, and Sonchus, bearing out my previous ex- 

 perience of the habits of the sj^ecies in Europe and Morocco, 

 where it is invariably a rubbish-feeder, among debris of spiders*^ 

 webs, and frass of other larvae on numerous plants as enumerated 

 above.

Antennae pale buff, spotted with white along their outer sides, 

 two black, and two white annulations occurring before a darker 

 band, which precedes the four or five yellowish distal joints. 

 Palpi white, with pale buff lateral lines throughout. Head 

 olivaceous brownish, with a short central, and two longer lateral 

 lines. Thorax olivaceous brown, with a central white line, and 

 one along the inner edge of each of the tegulae. I'orewings 

 olivaceous brown to about three-fifths of their length, on v/hich 

 colour are five slender silvery white lines ; one from the base of 

 the costa, slightly diverging, and terminated below the costa at 

 at about one-third • another, above it along the costa, slightly 

 widened towards its outer end ; a third, from the middle of the 

 base, extending to the outer margin of the olive-brown space, 

 whence a shorter, inverted, streak divei-ges, terminating opposite 

 to the outer end of the first costal ; the fifth streak is from the 

 base, along the dorsum, and is rather shorter than the first costal ;
