1907.] MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF TENERIFE. 995 



Rebel's clescrij)tion of mactana, although paler forms, less reticu- 

 lated on the under side of the forewing, also occur: there is however 

 no possible line of demarcation between them. Some very fine 

 fasciated $ 2 , with typical 2)ersi7nilana $ $ , and typical mactana 

 (S 6 , were bred from larvae on Glohularia salicina, at Guimar, in 

 April and May, 12 specimens in all, including a single c? bred 

 from the same plant at Puerto Orotava. I have also bred six 

 similar forms from Adenocarjyus foliolosics, at La Laguna, in June ; 

 1 J, in March, on Banksia rose, Guimar; 1 c? , March, on 

 Rubus fruticosus, Guimar ; 1 $ , April, on Geranium, Guimar ; 



1 2 , May, on Cytisus proliferus, Pedro Gil ; 1 d" , March, on 

 Schinus moUe, Santa Cruz -,16, March, from CofFee-plant, in a 

 garden at Miramar, near Santa Cruz ; 1 $ , June, on Erica arborea, 

 La Laguna ; 1 $ , April, from Jasminum odoraiissimum, Guimar ; 

 16 caught specimens make up the series of 42, to which I can add, 



2 received from Mr. White, and 6 previously in my cabinet from 

 the late Mr. J. H. Leech, and from Mr. Eaton : 50 in all.

A fine and distinct species, of which I have only a single 

 specimen, bred from a larva found rolling the leaves of Viburmwi 

 rugosum at Agua Garcia ; the type was taken in the same locality 

 by Cabi-era in 1892.

This is an exceedingly variable species, and at first sight seems 

 very distinct from the larger and more distinct form which I have 

 received from Madeira. A seines of 74 specimens, taken in various 

 localities, enables me to separate them satisfactorily : in suhcostana 

 Stn. the dark fascia is always more oblique, and its inner margin
