NOTES ON THE VARIATION OF PERONEA CRISTANA, FAB. 65 
Ab. postchantana. This is of course one of Webb’s creations, 
which he describes as having a dark button ; he writes of his 
series (loc. cit., vol. xliv, p. 290) as consisting of ‘‘ 4 specimens 
purchased at Clark’s sale.’ There are 4 examples labelled this 
form in his series, but one has a white button, and is therefore 
ab. chantana, Curt. He writes (loc. cit.) that he has long had 
this form in his cabinet. What has become of the specimens 
does notappear. Mr. South has two examples of this form from 
the New Forest. 
Ab. vaughaniana, Webb. The series under this label 
consisted of 8 specimens, and there was another amongst the 
unicolorana. They are all old examples mounted on white pins, 
and are without data. 
Ab. lichenana. Two unlabelled specimens on white pins. 
Ab. ruficostana, Curtis. Seven good examples, all without 
data, except one labelled ‘‘ Burney.” Probably most of these 
came from Clark, especially 3 on black pins; the remainder 
are old and on white or gilt pins. 
Ab. attaliana, Clark. The type-specimen, without data, but 
set on a black pin, and presumably coming from the New 
Forest. This specimen is, so far as 1 know, unique, for though 
there is a second specimen put with it, this is, as Webb says 
(loc. cit.), only an example of alborujicostana, Clark. 
Ab. nigrocostana, Clark. The type and 6 others. This form 
seems to be getting a little more frequent; 1 have 4 from the 
New Forest and 1 from Epping Forest, all taken by myself. 
Mr. South has 9 examples, all from the New Forest. 
Ab. transversana, Clark. The type and 3 others, all without 
data, but old examples, set on white pins, and presumably from 
the Clark Collection. 
Ab. prostriana, Clark. The type (without data) and 19 other 
fine examples, all on white pins, 2 ante 1850, 9 labelled “F. 
Bond,” the remainder unlabelled. 
Ab. insulana, Curt. Twenty examples, the majority on white 
pins; 6 labelled ‘‘ Bond,” the remainder are without data. 
Ab. profanana, Fab. There are 81 specimens under this 
name, 4 of which are substriana, 9 subunicolorana, and the 
remainder accord with Stephens’ idea of profanana. These 
are all old specimens, on white pins, 12 labelled ‘‘ Bond,” 
1 ‘Epping Forest,” the remainder are without data. 
Ab. provittana, Dsvgs. The only specimens in the series of 
cristana that fit in with Desvignes’ description are, as before 
stated, 10, most of which Webb had included in his series of ntg7o- 
punctana; 7 of these are on gilt pins, 2 of whichare labelled “‘ Bond 
Colln.,” the others are without data. The remaining 3 are more 
modern; they are mounted on black pins; 1 of them is labelled 
**Clark,” the other 2 have no label. I regard this form as a 
very rare one nowadays. Most of Desvigne’s Peroneas came
