CORRECTION OF AN ERROR. 



BY W. H. EDWARDS, COALBURGH, WEST VA. 



Mr. H. J. Elwes has recently published a paper in Trans. Ent. Soc, 

 London, 1889, p. 535, entitled "A Revision of the Genus Argynnis," and 

 on page 574 writes as follows : — " I have also specimens of ^r^^ Strecker, 

 from Strecker and Mr. Holland, both from Spokane Falls and California, 

 which are, undoubtedly, the same as Erinna, which was described in 

 1883 as a var. oi Euryfiome hy Edwards, and in his catalogue of 1884 

 is put down as a variety of Montivaga. If, therefore, he is himself so 

 uncertain of the true position of these forms, he cannot expect others to 

 follow him blindly," etc. On reading this 1 looked at the catalogue re- 

 ferred to, and sure enough, on p. 30, Erinna is set down as a var. of 

 Moiitivaga. How this happened I cannot say, but I suppose by an error 

 of the printer, which was overlooked in correcting the proof I see 

 the same mistake occurred in the list which closed Vol. 2, Butt. N. A., 

 also dated 1884 ; but as the list was copied from the catalogue, that is 

 understood. Erintia was rightly described by me in 1883 as a var. of 

 Etiry?wme, which, to my mind, it undoubtedly is. Part of my collection 

 is now in possession of Dr. Holland, including Eurynome and its vars., 

 and I wrote him to please look at the Erinna specimens and tell me 

 what the labels say. I have his reply as follows : — "All the specimens 

 bearing that name are classified in your collection under Euryno/ne, 

 according to your original description. The labels read : 



A. Eurynome. 



var. Erinna Edw. 

 Type. .Spokane Falls." 



I therefore suggest that persons using my catalogue should note the 

 correction, and transfer Erinna to Eurynome on page 29, following
