NOTES ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH LEPIDOPTERA. ] 35 



The synonymy should therefore run : — 



Acidalia pingu^linata, Z. (1847, Isis) ; olorai^ia, Roess- 

 ler; Mancuniata, Knagprg ; veterata^ Gregson ; and query 

 ashestaria, Z. Stet. Ent. Zeit. 1849. 



I cannot quite agree with Professor Zeller that his asbes- 

 taria should be sunk under jnnrjuedinata, for the reason 

 stated in the '' Annual " for 1868, p. 103, namely, that the 

 larva of the latter is inseparable from that of suhsericeata ^ 

 while that of ping^iedinata (alias mancuniata) presents very 

 considerable and constant differences. 



Peronea potentillana, Cooke = P. comariana, 

 . Zeller. 



Some time ago Professor Zeller kindly sent me a box of 

 types of species which he considered likely to occur with us. 

 Amongst them a Tortrix, ticketed comariana, struck me as 

 being identical with our potentillana ; thereupon I forwarded 

 examples of the last named, and the result is that the two 

 will have to be combined. The Professor adds, " Coma' 

 riana was bred from Com.arum palustre in Livonia, at 

 Meseritz and Stettin, and I doubt whether the larva would 

 accommodate itself to Fi^agaria, except in captivity."
