In addition to the specimens above described, a list of twenty-one more

names of Teneriffe moths is appended, which have been written upon by

S. Alpheraky in the memoirs of N. M. Romanoff, vol. v., 1889. Several

of the insects in this list were collected by the author, but as they

were mostly very small brown or grey moths, and of but little interest

to the ordinary collector, a description of them has been omitted. The

difficulty of identification without illustration also precludes their

insertion in a work of the present character.
