“ Chalk-hill Blue. A frequenter of open forest, very active and 
restless and difficult to capture ” (2. C.). 
This very beautiful species is quite new to us: in its pale 
elittering yellow-greenish tint it stands out distinct from all the 
other species of the C. parsimon group.

** Lesser Alexis-like Blue” (2. C.). 
A rare form of the A. gamra group, originally described from a 
pair received from Abyssinia; one of the examples obtained by 
Mr. Crawshay agrees in all respects with A. natalensis, Trimen, 
which will therefore have to sink as a synonym of my species. 
48. TARUCUS PLINIUS. 
Hesperia plinius, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. 1, p. 284 (1793), 
Lycena pulchru, Murray, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 1874, p. 524,

Mr, Crawshay calls the male ‘“ Double peacock-spotted hair- 
tailed Blue,” and the female “ Peacock-eyed double-tailed Blue” 
and “‘ Chequered double peacock-eye Blue.” 
The species is very common and varies a good deal.
