My series of 2)&Tsimilana 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 oi 2yersimila7ia Rbl. (60994 $, 61000 $ : 

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

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

 of the same species. Many of the S 6 agree perfectly with
