nervules, those near the base of the wing, those between the radius 

 and sector, and the gradate series wholly black, the others mostly 

 only black at each end : all the neuration and the costal edge M'ifch 

 long black hairs ; 4 nervules in the inner gradate series, 7 in the 

 outer ; partition nervule of the third cubital cellule extending 

 considerably beyond the nervule above it ; pterostigma (in both 

 pairs) loug and conspicuously reddish-ochreous, more strongly de- 

 fined than is usual, and extending into the subcostal area. In 

 the posterior pair the costal, radial, and gradate nervules are black, 

 but the others arc almost wholly pale.

I think Brulle must have been mistaken in supposing that an 

 individual of this species had been found in France. I know of 

 no European species in any way allied to it (perhaps the nearest 

 is CIrri/sojxf Jvrmoscf, Brauer) ; the blackish antennae, disposition of 

 tlie black markings on head and thorax, and the strongly defined 

 pterostigma arc opposed to all Eurojoean forms. Neither do I, 

 at present, know of any closely allied extra-European species. 

 Brulle's description is good, only not sufficiently precise. Heme- 

 roliiis capitatus, Eab., is very different, and pertains to the genus 

 Not]ioclirij,^a, M'Lneh.

I have seen no imago of Pcdpares from the islands. A larva 

 from Madeira in my collection (obtained from a dealer) agrees 

 with others from Tangier in Marocco, found there with the per- 

 fect insects of P. hispanus, which is possibly only a marked local 

 variety of libeUitJoides. On the other hand, it is quite possible 

 the Canai'ian species may be different, and perhaps identical with 

 one of those from West Africa. Neither "Webb and Berthelot, 

 Wollaston, nor any modern traveller has noticed the existence o£ 

 this conspicuous genus in the islands.
