This species is common at Santa Cruz, and Guimar, and indeed 

 wherever its food-plants are found. I bred it from at least three 

 different species of Echium,, as well as from Symphytuin, in 

 Tenerife, and am able to extend the distribution of the species 

 from ca.ptures by Mr. Eaton and myself.

Prof. Rebel records sj)ecimens taken by Professor Simony, 

 above Taganana, among Wooclwardia radicans ; he subsequently 

 recognised a worn sjDecimen, in my own collection (61049), re- 

 ceived from the late Mr. J. H. Leech, from Tenerife. I have 

 now succeeded in breeding a few examples from larvae forming 

 conspicuous cones on Laiorus canariensis, collected in the neigh- 

 bourhood of La Laguna and Tegeste : after comparing them with 

 a series bred from leaves of Juglans, at Cannes, I am quite unable 

 to separate them, but I failed to find any larvae on Jtiglans in 

 Tenerife, although some trees grew at no great distance from the 

 spot where most of my larvae were taken.
