Page 77. Thecla Pruni. With the exception of the reference to Linne, the 

 whole of this page rehites to Th. "VV-album, as referred to in vol. ii. p. 69 ; 

 I shallj therefore, here describe the true — 



Pa, Pruni of Liniie.—Th. Pruni. Sieph. Catal. ii. 20. No. 5862.* — Curtis, 

 V. v\. pi. 264. 



Alls supra nigro-fuscis, posticis fascia obsoletdj'ulva ; suhtus pallidioribus strigd 

 communi subiindulata albida ; posticis fascia marginali 7'uhro-fulva utrinque 

 nigro punctata. (Esp. Alar. I unc. 3 — 8 lin.) 



Anterior wings above black-brown, posterior with an indistinct fulvesceut 

 fascia on the marghi ; beneath of a paler brown, with a slightly waved 

 bluish-white streak, faintly interrupted, and common to all the wings ; on 

 the margin of the posterior wings is a broad bright tawny-red fascia, mar- 

 gined on both sides with somewhat lunate black spots, which are crowned 

 with a short bluish line ; on the anterior wings also this streak is generally 

 visible, with two or three minute black dots, crowned as before on the inner 

 edge. Female larger, with a tawny fascia on all the wings above. 



In vol. ii. p. 69, 1 first recorded the fact of this species having been detected in 

 England : the account given by Mr. Curtis is erroneous, he, as well as 

 myself and others, having been imposed upon by a dealer: the insect occnrs 

 in profusion in Monks' wood, Hunts, towards the end of June, at which 

 period it was there taken by C. C. Babington, Esq.; and in the beginning of 

 July I had the pleasure of capturing it there myself: it may be known from 

 Th. W-album by the characters above given. 



Page 78. Thecla Spini > Wood Ind. Ent. pi. 2.f. 53. — Not being able at this 

 time to correct the description of this insect, in consequence of the dispersion 

 of Haworth's collection, I have referred to the figure of my friend Mr. Wood. 

 The insect is now in the possession of Dr. Warburton. 



Page 79. Lyc^na Phlaeas. Mr. Desvignes lately showed me two varieties of 

 this insect, nearly alike, and with only one large black spot in the centre of 

 the anterior wings above, the usual fascia of spots being obliterated. 



Page 85. Polyommatus Argiolus. I used to take this species on the holly in 

 my garden at the Hermitage in April. For wings, in the description of the 

 larva, read rings 



Page 87. Po. Arion. This insect appears to have occurred in p'enty in June 

 near Taunton. 



Of the remaining species of Polyommatus, I have nothing satisfactory to offer 

 regarding their distinctions, though I cannot agree with Mr. Newman in his 

 remarks upon Po. Agestis, in Ent. Mag. v. ii. p. 515 and 516, as his defi- 

 nitions do not accord with my series of specimens of the three insects, 

 obtained from nearly every one of the localities enumerated by him. 



Po. Salmacis I described in vol. iii. p. 235.
