Setomorpha and referred to Amydria 01ms. Setoinor'pJia grena- 

 della Wlsm. [Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897. 168-9, no. 282 (1897)] 

 has strongly developed, folded, maxillaries and must be placed in 

 Dendroneura Wlsm. The genus Setomorpha 7i. is thus regarded 

 as consisting of the single species insectella F., of which the 

 synonymy is given above. 



There seems little doubt that Fabricius described riotella 7i. under 

 the name insectella : in his desci-iption " posticae " appeal's to be 

 used in the sense of " postice " (possibly a misprint) and to apply 

 to the forewings.

Mr. Eaton made the following note on his series of Tinea 

 immacidatella Rbl. and his single specimen of this species : — " Out 

 of dead Agave (aloes). I believe they also breed in dead OpiintiaJ'' 

 I bred a single_specimen, May 31st, from a larva found at Puerto 

 Orotava, in rubbish among roots on April 24th.
