The two examples of Coniopteryx puIcTiella are in very fine con- 

 dition, and are beautiful little creatures.

Madeira {Kartung, WoUaston, Heer, JEaton). Hartung says it 

 is very common near Arrabento, 3500 feet, and near Palheiro, 

 2000 feet. In the former locality the winged imago appeared on 

 the 25th April, in the latter on the 9th May. Eaton found only 

 larvse in November. 



N.B. I can find no record of any species of Termitidse having 

 been observed in the Canaries, but think some must certainly 

 occur there. 



PsociDiE. 



Psocus ADUSTFS, Hagen (Ent. Month. Mag. ii. p. 10). 



Madeira {WoUaston). 



This and the next species form a distinct group of the genus 

 Fsocus (as restricted), characterized by the very elongate narrow 

 pterostigma.

Canaries: near Las Palmas, (jrrand Canary, on an olive-tree, 

 6th December ; near Aguamansa, Tenerift"e, on Laurus, 16th 

 December {Eaton). 



In the few examples I have seen there appears to be consider- 

 able variation in the white markings on the top of the head. Mr. 

 Eaton notes that in fresh examples the abdomen is whitish green, 

 with a median blackish dorsal stripe dilated on each of the hinder 

 segments, and with a blackish blotch on each side of it in its linear 

 anterior portion : in the S the belly is pale mingled with greyish 

 black, in the $ wholly pale excepting along the spiracular 

 region and at the apex.
