1907.] MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF TEI^EKIFE. 967 



exanaining my series of 2>^''^cherrimella, collected in Madeira by 

 WoUaston, with the addition of specimens subsequently received 

 from Eaton, and my own from Tenei-ife, I am surprised to find 

 that there is not a specimen of turhidella from Madeira. Mr. 

 Eaton notes (MS., 16. lY. 1904) that "The CosmojJteryx so 

 common at Guimar, and Puerto (de la Cruz) Oi-otava [i. e. turhi- 

 della Rbl.], was also plentiful on Parietaria, at Funchal, in the 

 garden of the Carmo Hotel " ; but his specimens of jiulcherrimella 

 were taken at " Funchal : at altitude of about 600 ft., 26. II. 

 1902 : out of Etqxitorium aclenophorum Sjjreng.," one of the 

 Comi)ositae. This plant should be searched, but it is not a 

 probable food-plant iov ]r>idclierrhnellaQh.mh.^ which in the United 

 States feeds on Pilea pumila^ one of the Urticaceae. 



Cosmopteryx tun^hidella is by no means consistent in the colour 

 of the yellow fascia ; this, in some specimens, is almost obsolete 

 through the strength of the brownish suflfusion ; in others the 

 colour is only slightly influenced in tone, while rarely it is of a 

 clear orapge-yellow, without partial shading or sufiiision. I have 

 again cai-efully comj^ared all the specimens, without being able 

 to detect any difference between the American and Madeiran 

 specimens of pidcherrimella.

Mr. M^hite took a good specimen of this at Guimar, when 

 collecting with me, at the end of March ; I subsequently mot 

 with a worn example, at La Laguna, in June.
