Additions: LYCAENIDAE. By Dr. M. Draudt. 1045 



The arrangement of the forms is accordingly as follows: 



P. baUoides Behr is an alpine form from altitudes of 7 to 1100(1 ft. and characterized by intense 

 quadrangular black spots beneath on a very light whitish ground whitli is very much strewn with black, 

 \\\i\\ a broad black marginal line on both wings and a broad, red subniarginal band of the hindwing; the 

 fringes of both wings distinctly speckled. Above the (^ is very variable in the development of the orange-i-ed 

 spots on the hindwings, some specimens are without, others with a distinct band as beneath. A much smal- 

 ler race: f. bernardino B. d- McD. of al)i)ut I'O mm expanse flies on low mountains in ('alifornia (S. Ber- hmarrthio. 

 nardino Mts. and iS. Diego) with a decidedly lighter ground-colour and less interne black markings Ijeneath, 

 particularly on the hindwings which are hardly strewn with black. — Another race: f. oregonensis B. d^ McD. orcijnnc^sis. 

 originates from Oregon aiul is characterized by a much liroader black l)order on both wings above in the 

 J", which may occasionally cover tlie whole half tif the hindwing; beneath the space between the postniedian 

 row of spots and the orange marginal band is in both sexes larger than in other forms, the spots are less 

 quadrangular, the ground shows a siiglit greenish tint. — A third form, the under surface of which forms 

 the transition to enoptes, is f. intermedia B. <£• McD. occurring in the valleys of the North and Central hitirmrdia. 

 Californian mountains. The sjjots of the hindwing beneath are much smaller, the orange submarginal band 

 divided into small lunae, the dark margiiuil line as fine as a hair. Above in the J(^ the black border is 

 moderately broad, the fringes of the hindwings are white, not speckled, at the anal angle of the hindwing 

 slight orange spotting. The $$ have a much broader orange band than the very similar ones of e?iop<e5. In the 

 Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Utah there flies a similar race: f. centralis B. d- McD. with a broader cmlralis. 

 dark border of the wings above and intense orange spotting at the anal angle of the hindwing in the i^^J; 

 beneath the ground is browner, the spots are larger, distinctly ringed white, the orange band more coherent, 

 at the anal angle of the forewing dark shading. According to the very latest investigations and after having 

 discovered the tyjie of glmtcon Edw. the latter has now proved also to belong to baUoides and not, as was 

 originally supposed, to enoptes; the genitals entirely agree with battoides; in the exterior the type is very 

 much like centralis and intermedia by the intense black basal band of the fringes beneath. 



The enoptes-iorm having hitherto been regarded as glaucon had therefore to be renamed : ancilia B. anriiia. 

 cC' McD. which thus entirely resembles glaucon Edio. above; beneath the scaling is somewhat rougher, and 

 the black marginal line of the hindwing is stronger; the (^^ exhibit above at the anal angle of the hind- 

 wing but traces of orange scaling. From enoptes the form differs by the coherent orange band on the hind- 

 wing beneath which in enoptes is invariably divided into sjJots; besides the black spots are more prominent. 

 Utah and Colorado. Inseit after it: 



Ph. spaldingi B. d- McD. very nuich iesend)les ancilia above, but the anal angle of the q hindwing siKildhif/i. 

 is very intensely spotted orange, the under suiface is lighter, the black sjiots of the hindwing much smaller, 

 whereas on the contrary those of the forewing remain large and intense; the forewing shows a broad oiange 

 submarginal band not reaching to the costal margin and growing narro\\er towards it; on the hindwing this 

 band is divided into small moon-spots l)y the veins and proximally very faintly, towards the costal margin 

 at most, defined by blackish. The $ is daik brown, the orange marginal band of the hindwing is continued 

 on half the forewing. The genital organs are very different from those of enoptes. Apparently rare and 

 confined to but few mountainous districts of Utah. 



Ph. rita B. d- McD. is likewise closely allied to enoptes, but distinguished by its whiter gromid-co- ri(a. 

 lour beneath with a broader orange band; the black spots are much stronger and the blue of the upj^er 

 surface of a more violet tint. The genital organ is very different, but still most similar to glaucon from 

 which it differs by a much longer terminal spine on the valves. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. South Arizona. 



L. minnehaha Scddr. (p. 817) is not to be placed as a synonym of shasta Edw. (p. 817); it represents monn-liaha. 

 a good form different by much narrower black borders without orange, but with a white marginal line and 

 distinct black marginal spots on the hindwing above. At greater altitudes in Colorado. 



To scudderi Edw. (p. 817) add aster Ediv. (p. 144 g, h) as the race from New Foundland. Two more 

 forms of this species are: annetta Mead. (144 g) line 14 from below and kodiak p. 815 (144 c). 



The arrangement of forms of acmon Dbld. d^ Hew. is to be altered as follows: ocmo/i remains with the 

 synonym antaegon Bsd. As the only form we add to it: f. cottlei Grinn. about which, however, we were at 

 preseirt not able to ascertain anything. • — monticola Clem., chlorina Skinn., emigdionis Grinn. (= melimona 

 Wright), neurona Skinn. are all said to represent good species. We have to add hereto as another species: 

 lupin i Bsd. about which we can at present not say anything and which is therefore to be eliminated as a 

 synonym of shasta Edw. 



Genus I^ycaeiiopsis Eldr. 



This name is to replace Cyaniris on p. 818. The species is not called ludon, but pseudargiolvs Bsd., 

 with violacea as synonym.
