Adopaea eunus Edw. 



Edwards in his original description gives Mt. Hood as the type 

 locality for eunus, but Morrison corrects this (Pap. Ill, 43) stating 

 that the specimen came from near Bakersfield, Kern Co., Calif. ; 

 wrighti from the Mohave Desert would seem to be a form with imma- 

 culate secondaries on underside. 



COPAEODES AURANTIACA Hew. 



We have seen the type of this species in the British Museum; 

 there is no doubt that the name is correct for the species generally 

 known as procris Edw. Regarding the various synonyms waco Edw. 

 was described in 1868 from a single specimen in the collection of Prof. 

 Townend Glover from Waco, Texas ; Edwards calls it a $ but we 

 imagine that it was one of the immaculate 2 's as no sex mark is 

 mentioned ; we do not know where the type is ; in 1871 Edwards 

 described procris from several $ 's and $ 's also from Waco, Texas ; 

 we have seen the types of this species and they are the same species 

 as aurantiaca. Candida Wright is figured by Wright (Butt. W. Coast, 

 PI. XXX, Fig. 411) although he has hopelessly mixed his sexes in 

 this whole group ; we can see no difference between S. Calif, speci- 

 mens and those from Arizona and Texas. 



Chaerephon simius Edw. 



We would remove this from Amblycirtes as the palpi lack the 

 long 3rd joint and the antennal knob shows a close relation to 

 Chaerephon and Pamphila; it may be necessary to erect a new genus 

 for the species as the S stigma is peculiar, but our material is too 

 scanty and worn to warrant our doing so and for the present we 

 place it in Chaerephon. 



Genus Erynnis Schrank. 



We cannot agree with Dyar's usage of this generic term fol- 

 lowing Scudder and Godman & Salvin, the former author having 

 erroneously fixed the type as comma L. due to the faulty system of 

 reasoning we have already mentioned. According to Tutt, (Brit. Butt. 

 I, 84) Oken in 1820 fixed the type as alceae Esp. (malvae L.) and 

 this action must hold. Pamphila Fabr., with type comma L. fixed by 

 Westwood in 1840, may be used in place of Erynnis, Scudder's action 

 in 1875 in specifying palaemon as the type of Pamphila being as we 

 have already stated, ultra vires. Tutt claims (Brit. Butt., I, p. 130)
