  fully 
  comparing 
  its 
  characteristics, 
  I 
  have 
  come 
  to 
  the 
  

   conclusion 
  that 
  its 
  best 
  resting 
  place 
  will 
  be 
  in 
  Hiibner's 
  

   genus 
  Calymnia, 
  in 
  which 
  I 
  therefore 
  place 
  it 
  with 
  a 
  (?) 
  . 
  

  

  Cucullia 
  chamomillce, 
  Schiff. 
  

   One 
  specimen, 
  which 
  does 
  not 
  differ 
  from 
  our 
  own 
  

   specimens. 
  

  

  Plusia 
  aurifera, 
  Hb. 
  

   Fairly 
  common. 
  

  

  Plusia 
  chalcitis, 
  Esp. 
  

   Common 
  at 
  low 
  and 
  intermediate 
  elevations. 
  

  

  Plusia 
  gamma, 
  L. 
  

   This 
  ubiquitous 
  insect 
  is 
  not 
  uncommon, 
  and 
  presents 
  

   no 
  points 
  of 
  difference 
  from 
  the 
  ordinary 
  type. 
  

  

  Plusia 
  circumflexa, 
  L. 
  

   Very 
  common 
  ; 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  are 
  labelled 
  by 
  

   Mr. 
  Wollaston 
  " 
  Funchal," 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  improbable 
  that 
  it 
  

   is 
  confined 
  only 
  to 
  this 
  low 
  elevation. 
  Some 
  of 
  the 
  

   series 
  are 
  very 
  richly 
  and 
  beautifully 
  coloured. 
  

  

  Heliothis 
  peltiger, 
  Schiff. 
  

   One 
  specimen 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Collection 
  from 
  Mr. 
  

   Wollaston. 
  

  

  Heliothis 
  armiger, 
  H.-S. 
  

   Three 
  specimens 
  without 
  a 
  precise 
  locality. 
  

  

  Acontia 
  lucida, 
  Hufn. 
  

   Two 
  specimens, 
  rather 
  darker 
  than 
  usual, 
  from 
  Madeira 
  

   and 
  Porto 
  Santo. 
  

  

  Thalpochares 
  ostrina, 
  Hb., 
  and 
  var. 
  a'Stivalis, 
  Gn. 
  

   The 
  two 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  former 
  are 
  richly 
  coloured 
  ; 
  

   the 
  second 
  generation 
  presents 
  no 
  difference 
  whatever 
  

   from 
  Algerian 
  specimens.
