Tv^o ^ captured, one, April 24th, near Lisbon, at Olivaes ; and 
the other, June 12th, at Ponte de Morcellos. 
Sciaphila Wahllomiana , L., var. communana , II. -S. — One, May 9th, 
at Almodovar ; and another, May 16th, on the hill S.E. of Silves. 
They have both a leaden-grey ground colour, the markings are hardly 
daiker and but faintly outlined. 
Cochylis respirantana , Stgr. 
Al. exp. 15 mm. Fore-wings rather elongate, the costa straight, the apex acute ; 
the t>round colour is pale yellowish-white, somewhat silvery and crossed by numerous 
irregular olive yellow patches or spots, in which are more or less numerous fuscous 
scales, especially in the ? . These spots form ill-defined, interrupted curved bands, 
the most distinct of which arise from the inner margin, one nearly in the middle, 
another from the anal angle, and the third along the hind margin. The costa is 
spotted with fuscous to the middle. The fringes are pale yellowish. Beneath, the 
fore-wings are blackish-brown, save the fringes, which are yellowish. 
The hind-wings are fuscous above and paler on the under-side ; the fringes are 
white. Head, thorax and palpi pale yellowish above and olive-yellow on the sides- 
dhe antennae are pale brown, simple in the ? and pubescent in the , 
This new species, which has lately been published by Dr. Stau- 
dinger (Hoise Possicae, 1880, xv, Sep. abd. p. 88), resembles duh 'isana 
very much (next to which species 1 would place it) in its markings, 
but differs by its colour, size, shape, and the absence of reticulations 
on the hind-wings, which are similar in colour in both sexes. 
Dr. Staudinger has received it from Amasia, and has also taken it 
this year at Chiclana in Andalusia. 
One $ , May 16th, on a hill S.E. of Silves.* 
Penthina ( Sericoris ) lacunana , Dup.— One, June 6th, at Cea. It 
has the median band much blacker than usual, and in the middle of 
the band the round spot is conspicuously light. A second example 
was captured in the same locality, but instead of the ground colour 
being olivaceous, it is reddish-fuscous like cespitana , with numerous 
lines and markings dark brown. 
• I may mention here another Portuguese Cochylis, of which I have a +n1 
Braganza by M. Manuel d’Oli viera. a specimen taken at 
Cochylis punctiferana, n. sp. Al. exp. 7 mill. Fore-wings much suffused with , 
leaving but little of the whitish ground colour. The base, a rather broad fiSwMcb bf h;grey ' 
he costa nearly in the middle, going straight down to thi median veto S 'it ? 
the base and ending straight on the inner margin from the dorsal vein and a f ^ ^ 
spot on the inner margin before the anal angle, are dark greyish-brown ’ Between the Sf U?gUla J 
the spot on the inner margin is a narrow white space. At the end of the median v • ^® cla anr ^ 
very distinct round blackish dot surrounded with whitish; above on the cost 'is T™ nT 18 a 
spot, beyond which there are two others forming a semicircle below w V il ' 111 ™? 
brownish cloud parallel with the hind margin. Before the apex is another small 1 , 18 ‘I pal ®

The hind-wings are dark brownish-grey above and lighter beneath, the fringes white 
This new species I place between coagulana, Christ., and reversana Sto-r w i ' 
of the triangular anal patch and the discal spot distinguish it easily' from Id? the 'allied spedes?* 6
