Surrey. Haslemere : This species occurs 

 here in an extensive copse intersected with 

 deep valleys : it frequents the bottoms of 

 these valleys, where it flits about over the 

 underwood, almost always returning to one 

 particular spray ; indeed, certain bushes, and 

 even twigs, seem to be especially to their 

 taste, since if one be taken another soon 

 occupies its place. In this way one alder 

 bush afforded me two or three specimens ; and 

 a little oak bush, in a particular warm and 

 pleasant corner, was always sure to have a 

 fresh tenant in a few hours, or, at any rate, in 

 a day or two after the previous occupant had 

 been captured. Occasionally, though rarely, 

 a specimen would settle on a spurge bloom, 

 the only flower they appeared to affect.

Family 8. AKGUS BUTTEEFLIES (in science 

 Lyc<enidai). 



In the general characters of their cater- 

 pillars and chrysalids they closely resemble 

 the Erycinidce, but in the perfect state they 

 differ in having all the six legs perfectly 

 formed for walking in both sexes. They are 

 further divided, both by English entomologists 

 and by technical authors, into Hairstreaks (in 

 science Thecla), Coppers (in science Polyom- 

 rnatus), and Blues (in science Lampides and 

 Lyccena).
