  notes 
  on 
  

  

  which 
  is 
  the 
  subtenuinal 
  scalloped 
  line, 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  darker 
  

   clouding 
  of 
  pale 
  reddish 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  hind 
  margin, 
  in 
  which 
  (clouding) 
  

   is 
  another 
  short 
  pale 
  scalloped 
  line. 
  The 
  same 
  markings 
  are 
  

   carried 
  through 
  the 
  secondaries 
  with 
  the 
  dark 
  central 
  fascia, 
  and 
  

   the 
  substitution 
  of 
  darker 
  greyish 
  for 
  the 
  reddish 
  hue.

  Mr. 
  Wollaston 
  says 
  : 
  — 
  " 
  Inhabits 
  Madeira 
  proper, 
  and 
  

   is 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  C. 
  ligustraria 
  and 
  ferrugaria 
  of 
  more 
  

   northern 
  latitudes." 
  

  

  Cidaria 
  fluviata. 
  

   A 
  common 
  species 
  at 
  low 
  and 
  intermediate 
  elevations, 
  

   but 
  offering 
  nothing 
  noteworthy, 
  being 
  quite 
  similar 
  to 
  

   those 
  found 
  in 
  our 
  own 
  island.

  Mr. 
  Stainton 
  says 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  (Ann. 
  & 
  Mag. 
  Nat. 
  

   Hist., 
  ser. 
  3, 
  vol. 
  iii.,

  : 
  — 
  " 
  Allied 
  to 
  Eupithecia 
  

   pumilata, 
  but 
  central 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  darker, 
  the 
  

   second 
  paler 
  fascia 
  more 
  angulated 
  and 
  indented, 
  and 
  

   especially 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  reddish 
  fascia 
  on 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  wings 
  and 
  the 
  reddish 
  spots 
  on 
  the 
  abdomen.

  I 
  have 
  before 
  me 
  upwards 
  of 
  thirty 
  of 
  this 
  insect, 
  

   and 
  find 
  these 
  differences 
  somewhat 
  variable 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  

   evidently 
  common 
  at 
  low 
  and 
  intermediate 
  elevations, 
  

   and 
  seems 
  so 
  close 
  an 
  ally 
  of 
  pumilata 
  that 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  is 
  

   most 
  probably 
  the 
  Madeiran 
  form 
  of 
  that 
  species.

  the
