the genus Cineis. ATT 
This species was discovered by Mr. Bean at Laggan 
three or four years ago, and has been sent out by him 
under the name of subhyalina. It is, however, perfectly 
distinct from that species, as we have shown above. 
This species appears, as far as I know at present, to 
be confined to the bare rocky summits of the moun- 
tains at 8—9000 ft. elevation. Under Mr. Bean’s 
guidance I spent three days hunting for it, but, though 
it had then been flying for at least a week, and was 
tolerably numerous, I was, owing to the extreme difii- 
culty of the ground, only able to take five or six 
males. The insect frequents the piles of broken rock 
which surround and frequently cover the summits of 
these mountains; its flight, like that of most of the 
genus, is not particularly strong, but, owing to its shy- 
ness and the difficulty of approaching it within reach, it 
is very hard to secure. It rarely comes out on to level 
ground, or far from its strongholds, and only flies in the 
sun when the wind is not too strong. The males come 
out from the 15th to the 20th July, and the females 
a week or ten days later. Mr. Bean has not yet dis- 
covered the food-plant of the larva, and though old pupa- 
cases, which look like those of a Satyrid butterfly, are 
not rare under the stones where it occurs, he has never 
found a living pupa. Amongst a large series collected 
by Mr. Bean, I noticed a certain amount of variation on 
the under side, but the dark smoky appearance of the 
insect will separate it at once from any other known 
to me. 
I transcribe below the original diagnoses of the two 
species which I have not been able to examine :— 
G. antarcticus. — ‘‘Statura parva: ale fusco-rufe: antice 
puncto apicali nigro, et radiis obscure fulvis inter ramos nervorum , 
postice radios habent lineola nigra distinctos. Subtus ale postice 
fusce, fascia media in virgulas nigras fracta. 
‘‘Une femelle prise 4 Santa Cruz.” (A river and port on the 
east coast of Patagonia in lat. 58° §.). 
Mr. J. Edwards made the following note on the figure 
of the above, which appears to be a true Gaines :— 
Expanse, 35mm. Upper side: fore wing with a black spot in 
cell 5; hind wing with black spots in cells 2, 3, 4, and 5. Under 
side of hind wing dark brown from the base to the outer edge of 
the dark band; the latter starts about the middle of the costa, and
