[March, 
Threnodes pollinalis, S. V., var. guttulalis , H.-S. — One, June 8th, 
at Oea. 
Botys aurata, Sc. ( punicealis , S. V.).— One, May 17th, hill south 
of Silves. 
B. asinahs , Hiib. One, April 30th, Parque da Pena, Cintra. 
B. f err uy oils, Hub. — One, May loth, vineyard north of Silves. 
JSomophila noctuella, S. A 7 , {hybridal is , Hiib.).- — One, May 31st, 
on the road to Cintra. 
aS tenia fuscocilialis, n. sp. — One line example, May 17th, taken on 
a hill south of Silves. 
Ihij. specimen (a 5 ) differs from punctalis , S. "V., by its larger 
size (-5 millimetres), more elongate (therefore less triangular) fore- 
wings, which are of a dark, rich, reddish-ochreous-brown. The head, 
palpi, thorax and abdomen are reddish-ochreous throughout, whilst in 
punctalis the palpi are distinctly white beneath. The under-side of 
the wings is much darker than in punctalis , and the reniform stigma 
more distinct. 
A second specimen, much worn, was taken on May 14th between 
Sao Bartholomeu do Messines and Silves. 
CRAMBIDiE. 
Crambus craterellus, Sc. (rorella, L.).— Two specimens of the 
var. cassentiniellus, Z., May 11th, near Almodovar. 
C.pratellus , L., var. alfacarellus, Stgr.— In this variety the fore- 
wings are rather broader, the second line is less angulated than in 
prat ell us, and the ground colour is white, as in the ? oipratellus. 
PHYCIDEJE. 
Pempelia satureiella, Mill.— A ? in very wasted condition, hardly 
distinguishable, May 16th, hill south-east of Silves. M. Milliere 
places this species in error in the genus Nephopteryx , for the $ has 
pencil-like maxillary palpi, and the median vein of the hind-wings 
being trifid, show that the true position of satureiella, Mill., is after 
integrella , Stgr. 
Asarta rubricosella, Stgr.— One, June 22nd, captured along a 
torrent at upwards of 2480 feet, on a mountain NAY. of Villa Real. 
This specimen is much darker than a type from Castile ; it is 
nearly black, and the fasciae are very indistinct, the hind-wim>s 
blackish-browm. 
Wocke in his Catalogue sinks rubricosella, Stgr., as well as alpi- 
colella, Z., into varieties of (sihiopella , Hup., but they are all three 
very distinct species, and it is impossible to confuse them.
