Remarks on the Peronece Vera, D. 

 Sp. I. Peronea unicolorana. 



Var. 1. unicolorana, D. This insect has generally been understood 

 to be the profanana of Fabricius, but not at all agreeing with his de- 

 scription, I have given it the present name : its colour being uniform 

 dark green, with the exception of palpi, head, and thorax being more 

 or less dirty white ; the button very small, varying from a dark to a 

 white dot. 



Var. 2. alboflammana. Similar to the preceding, with a white 

 dash on the inner margin extending from the base : in some speci- 

 mens with a very minute dark or white button in the centre of disk. 



Var. 3. xanthovittana, D. Similar, with a yellow or fulvous dash : 

 palpi, head, and thorax of the same colour. 



Var. 4. albipuncta. Similar to the last, with the exception of a 

 cream-coloured tuft or button. 



Var. 5. cristana. Similar to alboflammana, but has a white 

 button. 



Note. I have two specimens with cream-coloured dash and button ; 

 also specimens of the typical insect, with the spadiceous mark ; and 

 others with the striana markings. 



Sp. 2. Peronea subvittana. 



Distinct from the foregoing, having an abbreviated white dash from 

 the base of inner margin, not extending to the outer margin ; the 

 central tuft subject to vary from a large white or cream-coloured one, 

 to other very minute ones of the same shades. 



Sp. 3. Peronea Capucina. 



Var. 1. Capucina. This insect was first discovered by the Rev.
