Fig. 3, 4. Coenomorpha Hero. There is no authority whatever lor 

 considering this insect British. 



Fig. 5—8. Coenomorpha Arcanius. There is no authority for con- 

 sidering this insect British. 



Fig. 9, 10. Oreina Cassiope ; unquestionably British. Oreina is 

 another new genus of Mr. Westwood's, which must yield to Hubner's 

 prior name of Melampias. 



Plate XXIII. fig. 1 — 4. Oreina Ligea. Although this species has 

 been represented as British on the authority of men who would not 

 intentionally deceive, I am strongly inclined to believe the locality of 

 these butterflies was not ticketed at the time of capture, and therefore 

 in the mass of exotics which these gentlemen possessed, an error might 

 very easily have crept in. This species is the Epigea Ligea of Hub- 

 ner, whose name must supersede Mr. Westwood's. 



Fig. 5 — 10. Oreina Blandina ; unquestionably British. The figs. 

 7 and 8, with the bright blue markings on the under wings, must be, 

 I think, introduced by mistake. I have never met with this variety. 



PL XXIV. fig. 1 — 4. Hamearis Lucina ; unquestionably British. 

 Mr. Westwood passes a well merited encomium on Mr, Stephens's ad- 

 mirable observations on the affinities of this species. The figure of 

 this species (fig. 1) is very unlike. 



Fig. 5 — 10. Tliecla Quercus ; unquestionably British. 



Plate XXV. fig. 1 — 5. Tliecla Betnlce ; unquestionably British. 



Fig. 6 — 10. TheclaPruni; unquestionably British. 



PI. XXVI. fig. 1 — 5. Thecla W-alhuni ; unquestionably British. 



Fig. 6 — 10. Thecla Ruhi ; unquestionably British. 



PI. XXVII. fig. 1 — 5. Thecla Spini. There is no authority for con- 

 sidering this species British. 



Fig. 6—9. Thecla Ilicis. There is no authority for considering this 

 insect British. 



PI. XXVIII. fig. 1 — 3. Chrysophanus Chryseis. There is no au- 

 thority for considering this species British. 



Fig. 4 — 7. Chrysophanus Phlceas ; unquestionably British. 



PI. XXIX. fig. 1 — 5. Chrysophanus dispar ; unquestionably Brit- 

 ish. This is Lycaena Hippothoe of the continent. 



PI. XXX. fig. 1 — 5. Chrysophanus Virgaurea. There is no author- 

 ity for considering this a British species. 



Fig. 6 — 8. Chrysophanus Hippothoe ; unquestionably British, and 

 identical with Ch. dispar. 



PL XXXI. fig. 1 — S. Poly otnmat lis Argiolus; unquestionably British. 



Fig. 4—8. Polyommatm Alsus ; unquestionably British.
