Sir George Hampson lias called our attention to the fact that this 

 name is probably a synonym of Antarcliaea obliqualis Dyar described 

 from Mexico (1912, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 42, p. 80) ; we agree with 

 this, but see no reason to change the generic reference, Pliytomctra 

 Haw. in any case having priority over Antarcliaea Hbn. if the respec- 

 tive types of the two genera should prove congeneric.

Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell has called our attention to a valuable 

 article by W. II. Etlwards on this species in Can. Ent. 1893, p. 286, 

 which we hatl ovcrloolved entirely. In this article Edwards first pro- 

 looses the names nigresccns and rufescens which should therefore be 

 credited to him and not to Wright as we have done. It would also 

 seem from the article that in New Me.xico we have a meeting-point 

 of the Texan race adjutrix and the Arizona race crocalc, a single brood 

 of larvae producing both forms ; this would appear to be a parallel 

 case to that of BasUarchia astyaiiax and B. arthemis which show all 

 manner of curious intergrades along the border line where the two 

 forms overlap, I'ic, Catskill Mts. and northern New York State.

Our statement that the $ genitalia resemble those of the arion 

 group of blues and that in consequence the species should be referred 

 to the genus Lycacna is quite erroneous. At the time we had only a 

 single i specimen which we merely examined under the binocular; 

 the receipt recently of further specimens made it possible for us to 

 remove the abdomen of this same specimen and prepare a microscopic 

 slide of the genitalia ; to our surprise we found them practically ident- 

 ical with those of icarioidcs and we can only ascribe our former serious 

 error to a distortion of the genitalia in the dried specimen. Pardalis 

 should therefore be removed from the genus Lycaena as it stands in
