Genus Erebia. 



Many of the European species extend to Asia, but very few 

 have a very extended range. E. Parmenio and Embla occur in 

 A moorland. 



Genera Libythea and Nemeobius. 



Our single European representatives of the Libytheidce and 

 Erycinidce appear to be confined to Europe. 



Genus Thecla. 



Ruhi, Spi?ii and W.-alhum occur as far east as Amoorland and 

 North China. 



Genus Chrysophanus. 



Phlceas, Virgaurece, Hippothoe and Chryseis occur in Amoor- 

 land. Phlceas extends to North America, where several closely 

 allied species also occur. 



Genus PoLYOMMATUS. 



The following species are recorded as occurring in Eastern Asia : 

 Tiresias, Fischeri, Baltus, Pylaon, Argus, Avion, Cyllarus, Semiargus, 

 Optilete, Zephyrus. Bcsticus, and I believe Telicanus also, occurs 

 in the East Indies, and Telicanus and Lysimon occur in South 

 Africa. Hopffer asserts that Hoffmannseggii of Zeller is only a 

 much worn Telicanus, but Staudinger states that Hoffmannseggii is 

 an American species. P. jEgon and P. Agestis vary remarkably in 

 Corsica, as M. Bellier de la Chavignerie states in the last number 

 of the Annales de la Soc. Ent. de France. 



Genus Pyrgus. 

 P. Serratulce occurs in Amoorland. 



Genus NisoNiADEs. 

 N. Tages occurs in North China. 



Genus Pamphila. 

 P. Sylvanus and Comma range to America through North Asia.
