  AlLONONYMA 
  DIANA, 
  Hb. 
  — 
  A 
  GeNUS 
  AND 
  SpECIES 
  NEW 
  TO 
  

  

  THE 
  British 
  List 
  (Lep.-Tin.). 
  — 
  Mr. 
  Durrant 
  exhibited 
  two 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  taken 
  at 
  Fasnakyle 
  (Inverness), 
  

   Aug. 
  12-31, 
  1919, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  W. 
  Mackworth 
  Praed, 
  who 
  had 
  

   kindly 
  presented 
  the 
  sj)ecimcns 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  Mr. 
  

   Praed 
  had 
  found 
  diana 
  not 
  uncommon, 
  but 
  had 
  only 
  pinned 
  

   a 
  few 
  specimens. 
  This 
  insect 
  is 
  the 
  Simaethis 
  diana 
  (2316 
  

   of 
  Staudinger 
  and 
  Rebel's 
  Catalogue), 
  and 
  occurs 
  in 
  Germany, 
  

   the 
  Alps, 
  Italy, 
  Russia, 
  Sweden, 
  Lapland, 
  etc., 
  and 
  also 
  in 
  

   North 
  America. 
  Among 
  British 
  sp)ecies 
  diana 
  most 
  nearly 
  

   resembles 
  pariana, 
  CI., 
  but 
  is 
  at 
  once 
  separable 
  by 
  its 
  green 
  

   colour 
  and 
  by 
  having 
  veins 
  7 
  and 
  8 
  of 
  the 
  fore-wings 
  stalked 
  

   (instead 
  of 
  separate), 
  for 
  which 
  reason 
  it 
  was 
  separated 
  by 
  

   Fernald 
  from 
  Simaethis 
  as 
  Orchemia, 
  Gu. 
  The 
  adoption 
  of 
  

   Guenee's 
  generic 
  name 
  for 
  this 
  species 
  being 
  erroneous, 
  Burck 
  

   (1904) 
  proposed 
  the 
  new 
  name 
  AUononyma 
  in 
  lieu 
  of 
  * 
  Orclieinai 
  

   (nee 
  Gu.), 
  Fern. 
  

  

  The 
  life-history 
  of 
  AUononyma 
  diana 
  is 
  apparently 
  not
