  Spintherops 
  dilucida, 
  Hb. 
  

   There 
  is 
  one 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  

   Collection, 
  taken 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Wollaston, 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  

   jyalev 
  than 
  any 
  of 
  my 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  South 
  of 
  

   France. 
  

  

  Hypcena 
  lividalis, 
  Hb. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  one 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  which 
  does 
  not 
  

   differ 
  from 
  the 
  ordinary 
  type. 
  

  

  Hypcena 
  obsitalis, 
  Hb. 
  

   Very 
  common, 
  and, 
  as 
  usual, 
  very 
  variable, 
  many 
  of 
  

   the 
  specimens 
  being 
  almost 
  black. 
  

  

  Hypenodes 
  costcsstrigalis, 
  Steph. 
  

  

  Not 
  uncommon, 
  and 
  somewhat 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  ordi- 
  

   nary 
  form, 
  one 
  specimen 
  being 
  very 
  dark 
  indeed.

  The 
  ground 
  colour 
  of 
  both 
  primaries 
  and 
  secondaries 
  is 
  emerald- 
  

   green 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  stripe 
  extends 
  all 
  through 
  both 
  wmgs, 
  and 
  is 
  

   white. 
  In 
  some 
  specimens 
  this 
  stripe 
  is 
  fauiy 
  broad, 
  but 
  it 
  varies 
  

   considerably, 
  and 
  in 
  other 
  examples 
  simply 
  consists 
  of 
  an 
  in- 
  

   distinct 
  row 
  of 
  dots. 
  The 
  costa 
  in 
  fresh 
  specimens 
  is 
  pinkish, 
  but 
  

   becomes 
  ochreous 
  by 
  wear 
  and 
  exposiu-e. 
  The 
  fringes 
  are 
  white, 
  

   tipped 
  (in 
  a 
  freshly-emerged 
  insect) 
  with 
  pinkish.

  In 
  the

  work 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  already 
  quoted 
  from, 
  

   and 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  page, 
  Mr. 
  Wollaston 
  says 
  : 
  — 
  " 
  Inhabits 
  

   Madeira 
  proper, 
  occurring 
  among 
  the 
  heath-woods 
  of 
  the 
  

   loftiest 
  elevations. 
  Whilst 
  encamped 
  on 
  the 
  extreme 
  

   summit 
  of 
  the 
  Pico 
  Euivo 
  (upwards 
  of 
  GOOO 
  ft. 
  above 
  the 
  

   sea), 
  early 
  in 
  August, 
  1850, 
  it 
  flew 
  into 
  ui}^ 
  tent 
  in 
  great 
  

   abundance, 
  attracted 
  by 
  the 
  light 
  of 
  the 
  candle, 
  after 
  

   sunset."
