1044 Additions: LYCAENIDAE. By Dr. M. Drafdt. 



Habrodais [not Knhrodms) gninus Bsd. (p. 713) is no real ThecHna; it lias a forked apical vein and 

 enlarged anterior tarsi like some allies of the African Lycaena. 



Crysalus Ediv. (p. 773) belongs into the genus Zefhyrus. 



Th. lorata Grt. & Bob. (p. 773) is an artificial produce; the diagnose is not correct; it is a typical 

 specimen of calanus on the under surface of the wings of which a black subbasal line has been painted. 



Th. Ontario Edw. (p. 773) is the northern race of aulolycus and to be ranged there (p. 774, line 1 

 from above). It is a small form \\ ithout the small orange marginal spots. Very rare, also from New York and 

 Massachusetts. 



Th. auretorum Bsd. (p. 774). We must insert here as synonym tacita Ediv. (p. 772, line 10 from 

 below) and telra Behr (p. 774). — sj)adix Edw. (p. 773) is only a southern race of cmretorum without the 

 small orange anal spots; the $ is above broadly ru.st-coloured yellow in the disc. The under surface is 

 more ochreous-yellowish ^^ith extinct markings. 



Th. laeta Edw. (p. 783) from eastern habitats of North America is beneath greenish-grey, similar to 

 quadernn (155 i) from Mexico. 



According to clause 36 of the international nomenclatural rules, the species denominated dnmon on 

 smilacis. p. 798 would have to be called gryneus Hbn., damon becoming synonymous. — f. smilacis Bsd. & Lee, 

 mentioned as a sjTionym of this on p. 798, is the eastern form with a dark brown, almost monotonous 

 upper surface (sec. Barne.s and Benjamin), but according to the kind information by Mr. Forbe.s it is the 

 long-tailed southern race. Beside the races castalis Edw. (= discoidalis Hkinn.) and f. patersonia Brehme 

 brehmci. (p. 1043) having been already mentioned before, we must yet insert: f. brehmei Barnes & Benjamin as the 

 Texas-race of the form castalis Edw. with its under surface, but like smilacis witli a darker upper surface. 



immaculo- Th. titus (p. 811). Add to it: f. immaculosus Comst. with an unspotted under siuface. 



Ch. del Slid Wright (p. 812) becomes synonymous to hermes Edw. 



Th. mariposa Reak. (p. 813), according to Barnes and Mc. Dunnough is to be provided with the 

 synonym zeroe Bsd., nivalis B.sd., however, with the sjaionym ianthe Edw. 



The form florus Edu\ (p. 813) belongs to helloides, not to dorcas. 



Th. fuliginosa Ediv. (p. 814) is no Lycaenid but a Theclina beside Callipsyche behri (p. 774). 



Lycaena heteronea Bsd. (p. 814) to which clara Edw. belongs as a form is no Lycaena, but it belongs 

 to the Chrysophanus-species beside rubidus (p. 813) with which it is closely allied in spite of the blue ^! 



L. icarioides Bsd. (p. 815). According to the latest investigations, the synonymy and forms are quite 

 differently arranged: $ = maricopa Beak.; synonyma of it are: (= phileros Bsd., fulla Edw. [of p. 814], 

 ? niintha Edw.). The tyi^ical form flies in the Californian mountains. The forms are: ab. daedalus Behr 

 (144 b, p. 815), f. helios Edw., f. evius B.sd. from South California, /. ardea Edw. from Nevada, Utah and 

 Colorado, f. lycea Edw. (= rapahoe Beak.) of p. 814 from the Western Rocky Mountains and finally f. 

 pe??i6wia£'cZM'. from Manitoba and the northern Rocky Mountains to the south as far as Wyoming and Montana. 



L. hilda Grimm, is to be placed as a synonym to aehaja Behr which comes as a form to saepiolus 

 B.sd. (line 19 from above), not as a synonym. 



L. kodiak Ediv. is to be placed as a form to scudderi Edw. (p. 817). mela Streck. is to be eliminated 

 and becomes a synonym to cyna Edw. (p. 819). 



L. pardalis Behr (= erymus Bsd.) (p. 815) has nothing to do with icarioides Bsd., but belongs into 

 a quite different group otherwise not at all represented in America, to Lycaena in its proper sense ivith 

 arion as the most closely allied species. Above entirely IDvc icarioides, beneath on a deep brown ground 

 with intense black spots with fine whitish rings. California. — The third S3aionym mentioned in icarioides 

 (p. 815), viintha Ediv., most probably belongs to ardea Edw. (a form of icarioides). 



L. antiacis Bsd. (p. 816) belongs as a form to xerxes (p. 815), as well as mertila Edw., whereas behrii 

 Ediv. belongs to lygdamas Dbld. to Mhich also couperii Grote is to be placed. 



L. sagittigera Fldr. becomes a synonym; insert as the correct name: qnasus Bsd. of p. 818. 



L. speciosa Edw. is not a Phaedrotes, but it comes to Philotes beside sonorensis Fldr. 



L. podarce Fldr. and rusfica Edw. (p. 816) are to be placed as forms to aquilo Bsd. (p. 816). 



L. enoptes. Bsd. (p. 816). With respect to this group and battoides the studies of Barnes and Mc. 

 DuNNo.UGH have resulted in entirely different opinions which we .state in the following. Above all the species 

 belong into the 5 th subordinate genus: Philotes, and not to Busticus. enoptes and battoides have quite 

 different genitals, whereas glaticon is not to be separated from battoides. Those being especially interested 

 in these difficult questions may compare: Contr. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. Amer. Vol. Ill, Nr. 2, p. 116; Vol. Ill, 

 Nr. 4, p. 213 seq., and Vol. IV, Nr. 2, p. 77 seq.
