Mr. Johnson, in the New Forest : it is entirely blotched with white, 

 but has no white dash. 



Var. 2. subcapucina, D. The above insect should bear this name, 

 not being so complete as the present one, which has the white dash, 

 and this constitutes its difference. 



Var. 3. Curtisana, D. Similar to the last, varying in having a very 

 faint fulvous streak extending from the base to the button, which is 

 of the same colour. 



Sp. 4. Peronea ruficostana. 

 Distinct : variable, having occasionally a small reddish button. 



Sp. 5. Peronea Desfontainiana. 



Var. 1. Desfontainiana. Well known and described. 

 Var. 2. sericana, Hub. The same, without a button. 

 Var. 3. consimilana* Similar, but with striana markings on the 

 inner margin. 



Var. 4. albovittana. Similar, but has a white dash. 



Var. 5. fulvocristana. Similar, with a fulvous dash and button. 



Var. 6. Tolana, D. Between Curtisana and Desfontainiana. 



Sp. 6. Peronea spadiceana. 



Var. 1. spadiceana. Well-known and described. 



Var. 2. substriana ? Similar, with striana markings. 



Var. 3. brunnea. Smaller than spadiceana, much darker, and with 

 a very large dark button : some specimens with red shoul Jers and 

 striana markings. 



Note. This may be a distinct species, the button being much 

 larger than in any other of the genus, with the exception of P. sub- 

 vittana.

 button : I have a specimen with a dark button.
