THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



Eceren, Hb. — ari/iailes and its allies, with (temporarily 'at least) 

 fischeri, Ev., and xuthns, Leech, with their allies. 



Ciijiido, Schrank. — iiiiniiiius, Fuess., and sehnis, B., with their allies, 

 budii/iisfa, Alph., staiKibij/eri, Chr., alaina, Stgr., proseciisa, Ersch., 

 and their allies. 



Plebeiiis, L. — ai;iiis, L., with its numerous allies, including the 

 sieversi, Chr., the lyridas, Trapp., the orhitidus, Pran., the pJierete.^, Hb., 

 and the wednn (astrarche, Bgstr.), groups. 



I'oli/nminatKs, Latreille. — karus, Eott., and its many allies, includ- 

 ing ('it)nedon, Esp., cuiidon, and its group, damon, Schiff., with its group, 

 meleaiier, Esch., seniiargits, and their allies, candalns, H.S., i/si/lorita, 

 Frr., alcedo, Chr., snperba, Stgr., amandus, Schm., around each of 

 which a few species group themselves. I also include optilete, Knocb, 

 in this genus. 



Zizeeria, Chapman.- li/simon, Hb., and karsandra, Moore. 



Tnrania, B-B.- — cytis, Chr., anisophtaluia, KolL, anthracias, Chr.,

lolana, B-B. — tolas, 0., r/igantea, Gr-Gr., caligena, Leech, and 

 astraea, Frr. 



Glaiicopsgehe, Scudder. — cyllariis, Rott., lycoriiias, Butl., cJiarybdis, 

 Stgr., and vielanops, B., are the only Palaearctic species that 1 place in 

 this genus as yet; melanops being transitional between the two genera. 



Lycaena, F. — arion, L., alcon, ¥., eupliemns, Hb., arionides, Stgr., 

 areas, Eott., and polypheiiixs. 



Artojwetes, Chapman, contains the single species pryeri, Murray. 



Phengaris, Doh. — attrogiittata, Obth., and daitozana, Wileman. 



Lycaenopsis, Felder. — This genus, or may be hereafter ''clastrina, 

 will stand for the whole of the argioltis group, including the far Eastern 

 as also the American species. I would, however, say that I think it 

 probable, from a further examination of both pattern and armature, 

 that Celastrina may yet be taken for the argiolus group, while Lycae- 

 nopsis will remain for the type ananga together with a small number 

 of species that are at pi^esent placed in Candalides. 



Note : — LyC/Enid.e versus Rdralid.e. — The question of altering the thoroughly 

 established family name of Lycaenidae is one that needs careful consideration. 

 The name is quite legitimate, is known all over the world, and it might cause 

 unnecessary trouble in many cases if it were altered. 



I should like to obtain a concensus of opinion on it. — G.T.B-B. 



Protective Resemblance. 



By C. W. COLTHRUP. 



(Concluded from Vol. XXV., page 300.) 



The Rev. A. T. Stiff, writing in the November, 1912, number of 

 the Entomologist's Record, in giving various instances of birds attack- 

 ing insects when flying, admits that this has no bearing on " protective 

 resemblance," and I am afraid it does not carry us very far with 

 "mimicry," but as records of the fact of birds attacking they are very 

 useful. 



With regard to the Blue Tits feeding their young on Tortrix 

 viridana and the Meadow Pipits feeding the young cuckoo on Maleny-
