Vol. XXV] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 2Q 



There are, in my series, three florencia with only three 

 metallic spots, but these specimens are worn and these delicate 

 marks may have become erased. 



This interesting Lycaena was taken by me in 1910 while 

 collecting in the Huachuca Mountains, Southern Arizona : it 

 was taken in company with isola. but whereas isola occurred in 

 great numbers, florencia was rarely met with, and I considered 

 myself fortunate to take from one to three specimens in a 

 day's collecting while without any difficulty hundreds of isola 

 could be secured. Of course the striking difference of the 

 heavy marginal row of spots on the underside of the primaries 

 in isola made the two species easily distinguishable, and also 

 the fact that florencia is two-thirds of the size of isola. It is 

 very distinct, in fact it is not like any other Lycaena in appear- 

 ance, the pale blue of the upper side and its small size being 

 the distinguishable characteristics of this species. This little 

 insect, like most of the Lycaenae, is very fond of settling on 

 damp sand bordering the canyon streams. 



One evening in last May while doing some entomological 

 work with my friend, Mr. Fordyce Grinnell, Jr., our attention 

 was attracted to some Lycaenae from Florida which were not 

 yet classified, and this caused a comparison between these and 

 a series from Arizona which I had labeled hanno according to 

 Wright's description in The Butterflies of the West Coast. 

 We immediately saw the great difference existing between the 

 Florida specimens and the Arizona ones ; at once we started a 

 search through the literature and discovered that the locality 

 of hanno is the Gulf States, therefore, the Arizona species 

 were not as Mr. Wright figures them but a new species which T 

 take pleasure in introducing to Lepidopterists. 



I have named this new species after my wife, Florence M. 

 Clemence, who is also greatly interested in the collecting of 

 Lepidoptera and has done some good work in Colorado and 

 other places and so added materially to my collection. 



Change of Address. 



Mr. Henry \V. Wenzel has removed from 1523 South I3th_ Street to 

 5614 Stewart Street, Philadelphia. Pa., and requests his friends and 

 correspondents to take note of the change.
