  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  insect 
  indeed, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  

   regretted 
  that 
  but 
  one 
  ? 
  was 
  taken 
  in 
  Madeira. 
  It 
  is 
  

   like 
  no 
  European 
  Acidalia 
  known 
  to 
  me. 
  

  

  AcidaliaWollastoni, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

   All 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  uniform 
  dull 
  magenta, 
  slightly 
  deeper 
  in 
  hue 
  

   by 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin, 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  central 
  white 
  spot 
  in 
  

   each. 
  Between 
  this 
  spot 
  and 
  the 
  base 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  faint 
  trace 
  of 
  a 
  

   jagged 
  transverse 
  buff-coloured 
  line, 
  which 
  line 
  on 
  the 
  secondaries 
  

   extends 
  from 
  the 
  discal 
  cell 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin. 
  The 
  pinkish 
  ochre 
  

   subterminal 
  line 
  is 
  very 
  distinct 
  in 
  both 
  the 
  wings, 
  extending 
  to 
  

   its 
  fullest 
  limit 
  in 
  each. 
  Fringes 
  magenta, 
  with 
  pinkish 
  ochre 
  

   extremities. 
  Thorax 
  and 
  abdomen

  primaries.

  Of 
  this 
  beautiful 
  Acidalia 
  there 
  is 
  but 
  one 
  specimen 
  

   from 
  Madeira. 
  

  

  Acidalia 
  irrorata, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Primaries 
  and 
  secondaries 
  pale 
  ochreous 
  grey, 
  finely 
  and 
  plenti- 
  

   fully 
  sprinkled 
  all 
  over 
  with 
  minute 
  dull 
  reddish 
  irrorations. 
  There 
  

   is 
  scarcely 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  line 
  ; 
  the 
  grey 
  spots 
  are 
  fairly 
  distinct, 
  

   as 
  is 
  also 
  the 
  ill-defined 
  central 
  grey 
  transverse 
  band. 
  The 
  scalloped 
  

   grey 
  subterminal 
  line 
  is 
  also 
  fairly 
  distinct. 
  All 
  the 
  markings 
  of 
  

   the 
  primaries 
  apply 
  in 
  like 
  manner 
  to 
  the 
  secondaries. 
  The 
  

   posterior 
  margin 
  is 
  darkly 
  bordered. 
  Fringes 
  ochreous.

  One 
  (? 
  from 
  Madeira. 
  

  

  Zonosoma 
  {Ephyra) 
  pupillaria, 
  Hb. 
  

   I 
  have 
  several 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  differ 
  from 
  

   the 
  ordinary 
  type, 
  and 
  are 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  form. 
  Both 
  

   wings 
  are 
  of 
  a 
  pale 
  buff, 
  slightly 
  freckled 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   all 
  over 
  with 
  pink. 
  The 
  central 
  spots 
  white, 
  encircled 
  

   with 
  pink. 
  The 
  subterminal 
  line 
  is 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  

   curved 
  row 
  of 
  pinkish 
  dots. 
  In 
  the 
  ? 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  

   similar 
  to 
  the 
  ^ 
  , 
  but 
  both 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  subterminal 
  lines 
  

   are 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  curved 
  row 
  of 
  dark 
  grey 
  spots 
  finely 
  

   encircled 
  with 
  pinkish, 
  and 
  the 
  central 
  band 
  is 
  dark 
  grey, 
  

   indistinctly 
  edged 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  pinkish 
  scales.
