[Thecla spini.] Kecorded by Stephens, {Illust. p. 78,) thus : — 
“Last July, (1827,) a specimen was captured 
in Norfolk by Mr. J. Sparshall, F.L.S.” When 
examining the collection of Mr. Sparshall now 
in the Norwich Museum, some years ago, I 
found a specimen labelled spini, which is cer-

Doubleday tells me, that he believes it to be a 
species that was taken plentifully by his late 
brother in North America, and that it was 
placed in Mr. Sparshall’s collection by mistake. 
Tliere is no authentic record of the occurrence 
of this species, or of the true Theda spini in 
the British Islands.

species as having been taken in Norfolk, and 
the Eev. T. H. Marsh has found it at Sail, on

,, ACis. ScHiFF. Under the name of cymon, HaAvortli 
records it (Lep. Brit. 48) as taken by his friend 
the Eev. J. Burrell, in Norfolk, and Stephens 
says, “ Found in chalky districts in Norfolk.” 
Probably this was an error, but acis has disap- 
peared from so many localities in Avhich it was 
formeily known to be common, that it may
