 Q, Telesto arsenia, Plotz, S.E.Z., xlv., 384, 1884. 



As the now accepted rule is that proper names should be 

 in the genitive and terminate in "i" and not "ii," I have 

 adopted Perroni in preference to Perronii. Telesto arsenia 

 is identical with this species ; Plotz's coloured drawing, which 

 is before me, depicting both the upper and under side, indi- 

 cates the 9 with certainty.
