NEW BRITISH SPECIES SINCE 1835 .

Peronea Lipsiana, W. V. ; first enumerated as British 
in Doubleday’s Catalogue, at page 21, as a doubtful variety 
of P. rvfana; in the past season, Mr. Bouchard bred a 
series of this insect, and had not a single rufana among 
them. 
Peronea Caledoniana, Bentley ; first enumerated as 
British in Doubleday’s Catalogue, at page 22; it is described 
in the Appendix to Stephens’s Museum Catalogue. I have 
frequently taken it on boggy moors in the south of Scot¬ 
land ; its small size readily distinguishes it from the allied 
species. 
Peronea permutana, Dap.; first recorded as British 
by Mr. Cooke in the Zoologist for 1848, page 2271—“ On 
tlie 13th of August, I took three specimens of this insect on 
the wing, at dawn of day, at New Brighton, flying over a 
species of wild rose which grows there in profusion.” It 
lias since been taken and bred in profusion in the same loca¬ 
lity, and has also been met with plentifully on Barnes Com- 
m °n. It is extremely like the borana variety of variegana. 
Paramesia Shepherdana, Stephens; first enumerated 
a nd described by Stephens in the Museum Catalogue; the 
locality there given is, however, erroneous, as mentioned by 
^ r * Doubleday in the Zoologist for 1852, page 3583. “ Mr. 
pherd niet with larvte in the fens of Cambridgeshire; it 
feeds upon the meadow-sweet, ( Sjnrcea Ulmaria Mr. 
Poubleday now writes me, that it feeds upon Eupatorium 
an nabinum 9 and not upon Spircea . 
Dictyopteryx uliginosana, Bentley; first recorded, 
escribed and figured in Humphrey’s and Westwood’s 
dtish Moths, vol. ii. p. 139, pi. lxxxvi. fig. 12. “ Two 
Specimens were taken at Whittlesea-Mere in July, 1824, by 
' r * Bentley, in whose cabinet they are preserved.” I know 
n ° recent specimens.
