  placed 
  on 
  the 
  central 
  line, 
  and 
  the 
  hmd 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  

   hind 
  wings 
  more 
  dentated, 
  the 
  hind 
  tibise 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  

   are 
  incrassated, 
  with 
  no 
  spurs, 
  and 
  the 
  tarsi 
  almost 
  

   obsolete 
  ; 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  of 
  the 
  female 
  have 
  one 
  pair 
  of 
  

   spurs.

  I 
  have 
  a 
  few 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  from 
  Madeira, 
  evidently 
  referable 
  to 
  this 
  insect 
  ; 
  

   they 
  are, 
  however, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  distinctions 
  drawn 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  Stainton, 
  certainly 
  smaller 
  than 
  virgidaria. 
  

  

  Acidalia 
  unostrigata, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Primaries 
  and 
  secondaries 
  nniforni 
  pale 
  ochreous, 
  with 
  the 
  

   usual 
  dark 
  central 
  spot, 
  behind 
  which, 
  but 
  adjoining, 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  

   dark 
  grey 
  transverse 
  band 
  extending 
  from 
  the 
  costa 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  

   margin, 
  and 
  continued 
  all 
  through 
  the 
  secondaries, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  

   other 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  central 
  spot, 
  i. 
  e., 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  the 
  base. 
  There 
  

   are 
  no 
  other 
  markings 
  at 
  all, 
  except 
  the 
  least 
  trace 
  of 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  

   very 
  minute 
  dark 
  spots 
  between 
  this 
  and 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin 
  of 
  

   the 
  primaries. 
  At 
  the 
  extremities 
  of 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  nervules 
  the 
  hind 
  

   margin 
  is 
  finely 
  and 
  darkly 
  dotted. 
  Fringes 
  rather 
  paler 
  than 
  fore 
  

   wings.

  One 
  specimen 
  from 
  Madeira 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  nearest 
  the 
  

   black-banded 
  form 
  of 
  dimidiata, 
  but 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  at 
  once 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  uniform 
  ochreous 
  colour, 
  with 
  no 
  

   other 
  markings 
  save 
  the 
  dark 
  band. 
  The 
  wings 
  are 
  

   likewise 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  shape, 
  being 
  narrower 
  and 
  less 
  

   ample, 
  whilst 
  the 
  costa 
  and 
  hind 
  margin 
  is 
  straighter, 
  

   thus 
  making 
  the 
  apex 
  sharper. 
  

  

  Acidalia 
  zargi, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

   Primaries 
  pale 
  ochreous, 
  the 
  basal 
  area, 
  extending 
  half-way 
  to 
  

   the 
  central 
  spot, 
  being 
  of 
  a 
  rather 
  pale 
  chocolate 
  colour 
  ; 
  the 
  pos- 
  

   terior 
  margin 
  is 
  very 
  broadly 
  bordered 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  chocolate 
  

   hue, 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  waved 
  ochreous 
  interrupted 
  line. 
  

   The 
  space 
  between 
  these 
  two 
  areas 
  is 
  ochreous, 
  dusted 
  more 
  or 
  

   less 
  all 
  over, 
  but 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  (where 
  it 
  almost 
  forms 
  a 
  

   transverse 
  stripe), 
  with 
  fine 
  pinkish 
  rusty 
  scales. 
  The 
  secondaries 
  

   are 
  likewise 
  pale 
  ochreous, 
  finely 
  dusted 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  coloured 
  

   scales, 
  which 
  are 
  somewhat 
  condensed 
  around 
  the 
  central 
  spot 
  so 
  

   as 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  a 
  transverse 
  stripe 
  ; 
  otherwise 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  

   marking 
  until 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin, 
  which 
  is 
  like 
  the 
  fore 
  wings, 
  

   but 
  rather 
  paler, 
  viz., 
  pale 
  chocolate, 
  with 
  a 
  distinct 
  wavy 
  ochreous 
  

   submarginal 
  line, 
  preceded, 
  however, 
  by 
  another 
  indistinct 
  ochreous
