be lins quite left the C. avis habitat, and that odd one is 
all he has. With no clue but my first capture and think¬ 
ing it was possibly an aberration of C. niM, I failed to recog¬ 
nise the habitat though I knew approximately where it 
was, and in my second year’s search, picked up another in 
quite another spot, which unfortunately did not make me 
work this second locality, but rather, at the time, confirmed 
the idea that it was a sporadic aberration. Not perhaps 
an unnatural result, as those were the only two known 
specimens. 
An account of C. avis involves at many points a 
comparison with C. rnln, and it will be found that the 
following notes deal largely with C. rubi. I have been 
somewhat struck, however, by the circumstance that 
many of the details as to G. riibi with which I have to 
deal, are more or less new, and, at any rate, have not been 
dealt with adequately, if at all, in any British medium. 
The original description of Callophrys avis is as follows 
(from “ Ent. Record,” vol. xxi, p. 130)— 
“ ]\Iuch resemliles Cullojihrys ruhi. C. oris is larger, .32 min. to 
36 mm. in expanse ; C. rubi rarely exceeds 32 mm. It has hardly 
any trace of tails. The upper surface has a ruddy tint, in excess 
usually of that of G. rubi var. fervida, and the venation is often, 
especially veins three, four, and five of the upperwing in the s. 
marked by rather broad dark lines as if raised, dift’ering from the 
narrower flatter lines seen in G. rubi. A marked character is that 
the head has a long ruddy fur, replacing all trace of the silver lines 
round the e 3 'es so conspicuous in G. rubi. The androconial brand 
on the cJ forewing is triangular, perhaps a shade broader than in G. 
rubi, but of only about half the length along the line of the veins, 
that it has in G. rubi, in which it is oval or fusiform. The club of the 
antenna is red or flesh-colour, all along the lower inner side, a colour 
confined in G. rubi to a few terminal joints of the club, and the same 
on all aspects of the antenna. There is rather a different shade 
of green on the underside, and the white line has quite a different 
character from that in G. rubi. It is narrow, but continuous ; it is, 
in fact, usually broken bj’ each vein, but looks cbntinuous compared 
with G. rubi, in which the line breaks up into spots, rather than 
become narrow as in G. avis. Either really, or as an effect of its 
narrowness, it has a suggestion of being faintly tinted green. It is 
entirely without the dark scales along its inner margin that are so 
constant in G. rubi. The portion in each interneural space is curved. 
It occupies all the spaces on each wing, from the costa to the space
