My series of persimilana seems to contain forms agreeing with 

 simonyi, but having no specimens from La Palma, I hesitate to 

 unite the two species, as Rebel had both before him when describing 

 persimilana.

Comparing the types of persimilana Rbl. (60994 $, 61000 $ : 

 Mus. "Wlsm.) with a considerable series of bred and captured 

 specimens, and bearing in mind the examples of Pandemis mact- 

 ana Rbl. in Mr. White's collection, at Guimar, I am forced to 

 the conclusion that these names are applied to different varieties 

 of the same species. Many of the <5 6 agree perfectly with 

 [84]
