38. Lyccnta pscudargiohis is mentioned by Boisduval as taken in 

 California, and he must have got the western form which we have 

 so long known as piasus; however he did not distinguish it and says 

 in his 1869 paper that it does not differ from individuals taken in 

 other parts of the United States. It would have been interesting if 

 Oberthiir had figured a specimen from the Boisduval material. 



39. Lycccna antiacis is an extra large and aberrant specimen of 

 the xerces and mertila group. I agree with the opinion of Mr. F. X. 

 Williams ^ that there is probably one species with several varieties 

 here. 



This closes the 1852 paper and the following species were de- 

 scribed in 1869. 



14.- Thccla spinctontm is easily recognized and distinct. 



15. Tliecla bonis is a synonym of Thecla calif ornica, Edwards. 



17. Thccla nelsoni is commonly recognized. 



19. Polyommatus nivalis may be now resurrected from synonymy 

 where it was placed by Kirby in his catalogue of 1871 and since 

 copied by American authors. Kirby placed it as a synonym of 

 mariposa Reakirt, a case of misidentification. Nivalis has been 

 known in our collections as zcroe Bdvl., and iaiifhc Edwards was 

 considered a synonym of it. lanthe is really a synonym of nivalis. 



20. Polyommatus zeroe is really a synonym of mariposa Reakirt. 

 Thus nivalis Bdvl. reappears in our lists as a valid species and zcroe 

 becomes a synonym. J 



22. Lycccna rcgia is a synonym of sonorcnsis Felder. 

 • 23. Lycccna Inpini is a very interesting form of Lycccna actnon 

 Doubl. and Hew. W. H. Edwards erroneously made it a synonym of 

 his sliasta in his catalogue of 1884 and this mistake has been copied 

 by later writers. 



25. Lycccna nivium is a synonym of shasta, Edwards, 1862, 



26. Lycccna philcmon is a synonym of anna, Edwards 1861. 



27. The male of Lycccna rufescens as figured might be called a 

 variety oi .sccpi^lus Bdvl. 1852. The insect figured as female rufes- 

 cens is really a female of dccdalus, Behr. 1867. The relationship of 

 these insects needs study as well as the synonymy. Incidentally 

 dcpcialus Bclir. is not a synonym of icarijiulcs Bdvl. as given in our 



1 F.nto. News. Vol. XIX, p. 476 and Vol. XXI, p. 30. 



2 The numbers and genera are those of the 1869 paper.
