Es wird eine Übersicht über die Familie Blastobasidae von Madeira gegeben. Elf neue Arten: Blastobasis basii sp. n., B. laurisilvae sp. n., B. luteella sp. n., B. rebeli sp. n., B. serradaguae sp. n., B. splendens sp. n., B. subdivisus sp. n., B. virgatella sp. n., B. walsinghami sp. n., B. wollastoni sp. n., B. wolffi sp. n. werden beschrieben, sechs neue Synonyme: Blastobasis sarcophaga Meyrick, 1902 - syn. n. von B. marmorosella (Wollaston, 1858), B. xanthographella Rebel, 1940, B. lignea var. melanella Mansbridge & Wright 1939 und B. lignea var. pallidella Mansbridge & Wright 1939 - synn. n. von B. adustella Walsingham, 1894, stat. n. der Abberation von B. lignea Walsingham, 1894; Blastobasis lignea Walsingham, 1894 und B. flavescentella Rebel, 1940 - synn. n. von B. vittata (Wollaston, 1858), comb. n. von Laverna Curtis werden festgestellt. Der Status von Blastobasis decolorella (Wollaston, 1858), B. lacticolella Rebel, 1940 und B. marmorosella (Wollaston, 1858) wurde auf der Grundlage der Untersuchung des Typusmaterials revidiert. Alle Arten und ihre Genitalien werden abgebildet, Informationen zur Bionomie werden vorgelegt. 22 der 26 Arten werden als endemisch für Madeira angesehen.
