along with T. spini, in a quarry at Rernoulins, and they both also 

 occurred at Digne. 



T. acacia, Fab. — One undoubted female at Digne on July 9tb, and 

 five other specimens from Rernoulins and Digne which are not so certain. 

 The latter have a row of orange spots, six in number, on the under side 

 of the hind wing, almost reaching the costal margin (Kane gives two 

 or three in the male and three or four in the female) ; at anal angle 

 there is little or no blue, and the nest spot is not marked with a black 

 dot outside. The upper sides, however, correspond most closely with 

 this species. 



Chrysophanus phlceas, L., var. eleus, Fab. — Common at Ajaccio, also at 

 Tattone aud Corte. The date was apparently rather late for this brood. 



Lampides telicanus, Lang. — Tattone, two in copula, but rather 

 poor specimens. 



Lycama argiades, Pall., ab. coretas, 0. — One on May 11th at Digne, 

 on the mountains in Les Dourbes direction at considerable elevatiou. 



L. argns, L. (agon), var. Corsica, Bell. — Rather common on the 

 bracken at La Foce de Vizzavona, and also frequently at Tattone. 



L. astrarche, Bgstr., var. calida, Bell. — Some very bright; Tattone, 

 Ajaccio, Vizzavona, Corte, pretty common. 



L. meleager, Esp. — A few at Digne, at the other side of the Bleone 

 and Les Dourbes road, including one fine blue female. Just emerging 

 about July 7th. 



L. admetus, Esp., var. ripartii, Frr. — Three at Digne on July 9th, 

 beside the river on the road to the thermal springs. Just emerging. 



L. sebrus, B. — Two at Digne on May 10th, Les Dourbes direction, 

 where the road ascends the side of the mountain. 



L. cyllarus, Rott. — Common towards the middle of May at Digne, but 

 going over. I got, however, a fairly good series, including some females. 



L. melanops, Boisd. — Not nearly so common as the last-named and 

 more worn. Half-a-dozen fair specimens, being all obtainable, 



Cyaniris argiolus, L., gen. aest. parvipuncta, Fuchs (ex Corsica). — 

 Common at sunny corners on the Vivario road, both in the forest 

 above Vizzavona and in the open towards Tattone.

A NEW GENUS OF CULICID^E. 

 By Fred. V. Theobald, M.A. 



Genus Anisocheleomyia, nov. gen. 

 Head clothed with flat scales rather loosely applied to surface of 

 head, and which form a more or less projecting mass between the eyes 

 in front. Antennae densely pilose in the male. Proboscis swollen 

 apically. Palpi very short in both sexes. Thorax with narrow-curved 

 scales in the middle, and with broad spindle-shaped ones around the 

 front and sides ; scntellum with small flat scales rather loosely applied, 

 very distinctly trilobed. Wings ornamented. Ungues of male not 

 very unequal in length but differing in breadth, one on each leg broad 

 and leaf-like. Fork-cells short, as in UranoUmia,
