  Zonosoma 
  {Epliyra) 
  maderensis, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  (PI. 
  XII., 
  fig. 
  5, 
  

   banded 
  form). 
  

   Primaries 
  ochre-colour, 
  finely 
  and 
  densely 
  irrorated 
  with 
  rough 
  

   pinkish 
  scales, 
  more 
  especially 
  by 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin. 
  The 
  

   central 
  waved 
  band 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  spot 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  greyish 
  hue. 
  The 
  

   subterminal 
  line 
  is 
  distinct 
  and 
  of 
  paler 
  ochre 
  ; 
  posterior 
  margin 
  

   finely 
  and 
  darkly 
  dotted. 
  Central 
  spot 
  whitish, 
  encircled 
  with 
  

   reddish 
  brown. 
  The 
  secondaries 
  are 
  likewise 
  ochreous, 
  with 
  all 
  

   the 
  pattern 
  of 
  the 
  primaries 
  repeated, 
  but 
  the 
  subterminal 
  Line 
  is 
  

   broader 
  than 
  therein. 
  Thorax 
  and 
  abdomen 
  same 
  hue 
  as 
  wings. 
  

   Antennae 
  ^ 
  ciliate, 
  5 
  simple. 
  The 
  ? 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  the

  This 
  is 
  evidently 
  a 
  common 
  species 
  in 
  Madeira, 
  and, 
  

   like 
  many 
  others 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  island, 
  it 
  varies 
  con- 
  

   siderably. 
  I 
  have 
  specimens 
  almost 
  unicolorous, 
  with 
  

   scarcely 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  any 
  markings 
  except 
  the 
  central 
  spot, 
  

   whilst 
  there 
  are 
  others 
  which 
  are 
  very 
  broadly 
  and 
  darkly 
  

   banded 
  ; 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  handsomest 
  of 
  these 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  

   figm-ed. 
  Again, 
  I 
  have 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  almost 
  unicolorous 
  

   fawn-colour, 
  with 
  a 
  single 
  dark 
  grey 
  waved 
  central 
  stripe 
  

   just 
  beyond 
  the 
  central 
  spot. 
  Mr. 
  Wollaston 
  says 
  of 
  

   the 
  larva 
  : 
  — 
  " 
  A 
  small 
  green 
  caterpillar 
  with 
  brightly 
  

   variegated 
  patches 
  on 
  either 
  side. 
  Chrysalis 
  bright 
  pale 
  

   green, 
  fixed 
  by 
  the 
  tail 
  and 
  slung 
  up 
  horizontally 
  with 
  a 
  

   single 
  thread. 
  Feeds 
  on 
  Hudson's 
  oak." 
  

  

  HemeropMla 
  madercE, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  (PI. 
  XII., 
  fig. 
  6). 
  

  

  The 
  primaries 
  and 
  secondaries 
  vary 
  from 
  dull 
  umber-brown 
  to 
  a 
  

   reddish 
  umber. 
  The 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  oblique 
  somewhat 
  parallel 
  

   lines 
  are 
  dark 
  brown, 
  both 
  arising 
  fi'om 
  the 
  inner 
  margin, 
  the 
  

   former 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  and 
  extending 
  indistinctly 
  half 
  across 
  the 
  

   cell, 
  the 
  latter 
  starting 
  beyond 
  the 
  centre, 
  and 
  extending 
  almost 
  

   up 
  to 
  the 
  apex. 
  At 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  discal 
  cell 
  is 
  a 
  smallish 
  dark 
  spot. 
  

   The 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  is 
  scaled 
  with 
  darker 
  brown 
  irrorations. 
  

   The 
  pattern 
  of 
  the 
  secondaries 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  primaries, 
  but 
  

   minus 
  the 
  first 
  line 
  ; 
  the 
  ground 
  colour 
  is 
  at 
  times 
  slightly 
  paler, 
  

   and 
  is 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  dark 
  brown 
  scales 
  taking 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  

   short 
  dashes. 
  Thorax, 
  abdomen, 
  and 
  fi-iuges 
  as 
  wings. 
  Antennae 
  

   plumose. 
  Exp. 
  alar. 
  43 
  to 
  44 
  mm. 
  

  

  The 
  5 
  is 
  very 
  pale 
  ochreous 
  grey, 
  with 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  line 
  

   as 
  in 
  the 
  3' 
  > 
  l>^^t 
  blackish 
  ; 
  the 
  central 
  spot 
  is 
  larger. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  

   a 
  blackish 
  shading 
  at 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  line 
  just 
  below 
  the 
  apex 
  

   of 
  wing, 
  which 
  follows 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  afore- 
  

   mentioned 
  black 
  line. 
  Secondaries 
  slightly 
  deeper 
  in 
  hue 
  than
