Tt may be that foedana, concinnana and permimdana really consti- 

 tute but one species. This must be determined in the future.

This species, which is ordinarily distinguished by the white or yel- 

 lowish-white eosta at the base of the wing and the white space towards 

 the hinder margin of the win-, is represented by a specimen in the 

 Society's Collection, in which all the white is replaced by pile testace- 

 ous having in certain lights a dull bluish lustre. I think it is not 

 necessary to describe it as a distinct species, as to my mind it is eyi- 

 dently a variation. 



Doubtless too many species have been created out of the material 

 that has been before me, but I have been governed entirely by a wish 

 to notice clearly all the differences in individuals belonging t< this 

 group, and not by a desire to multiply descriptions
