Additions: HESPERIDAE. By Dr. M. Draudt. 1051 



Genus I'hioiuara. 



Ch. gesta Il.-Schaff. (p. 913, t. 17.Sa). As another synonym llano Dodge is yet to be added. — This 

 species is now placed to Thanaos, next to lacustra (178 i) and bunj&s.si. 



Genus Heliopetes. 



H. domiceUd Erichs. (p. 914, t. 178 c). Another synonym is to he added: nearchus Ediv. 



H. nivella Alnh. (p. 914, t. 17Sd) also occurs in Texas where it flies in June. 



H. laviana Hew. (p. 915, t. 178 c) also flies in Texas in June and July. The genus Heliopetes is, 

 moreover, cancelled by Lindsey since there are no anatomical marks of distinction from Hespcria F. (which 

 has recently been named Erynnis Schrk.). The species would therefore have to be combined tiy the latter 

 name. — ■ To ericetorum Bsd. (178 f) add as synonym nlba Edw. But cricetorum itself is to be regarded as 

 a distinct species. 



Genus TliaiiaoK. 



Instead of this name the older name of the genus Thymele F. would have to be placed. 



In Th. icelus (p. 916) the author's name Lintn. is to be changed into Scddr. d- Burg. 



Th. somnus Lintn. (p. 916, t. 178 g) is to be placed as a form to brizo Bsd. d.- Lee. (^178 f). — callidus 

 Grinn. (part.) is the synonym of it. — Insert after somnus: 



Th. burgessi Skinn. is very similar to hcu.stra Wright (p. 917, t. 178 i) which has to be ranged here, biir;;rs.si. 

 it is on an average somewhat larger and has beneath at the apex of the forewing a light violet jsatch 

 distinctly contrasting with the ground-colour and being absent in lacustra. The genitals are in both very 

 different. Arizona, New Mexico. 



Th. lucilius Lintn. (p. 916, t. 178 g) is a form of persius Scddr. (ibid.), as well as afranius Lintn. 

 (ibid.) and pemigra Grinnell nee Wr. (p. 917) being the very dark race of the Pacific coast. Insert after pemigm. 

 luciiius : 



Th, callidus Grinn. (= lilius Dyar) is in the female marked like brizo (178 f), whereas the c? shows caUidus. 

 a very small white discal spot, 3 small white subapical spots and a rather large white spot in the middle 

 of the marginal area. The genital organ resembles that of 'pacuvius. Brit. Colombia, California. 



P. 916, line 25 from above: place nusonius as ,,aberrat." to zarucco (line 19 from below). 



Th. juvenalis F. (p. 916, t. 178 g). Add as another (doubtful) synonym: plautus Scddr. d- Burg. 



Th. propcrtins lAntn. (p. 916, t. 178 h). Hereto add as synonym: (= tibellus Scddr. d- Burg.); and 

 besides: f. borealis Gary as a dark race with very much reduced light spots, from the Mackenzie. homiHs. 



Th. petronins Lintn. (p. 916, t. 178 g) is to be placed as a synonvm to the following horatius Scddr. 

 (178 h), and 



Th. naevius Lintn. (p. 917, t. 178 h) belongs as a synonym to the preceding tereniius Scddr. (p. 916). 

 — Insert after pacuvius Lintn. (p. 917, t. 178 h): 



Th. scudderi Skinn. (= pacuvius G. d- S. nee Lintn.) in its exterior is not discernible from pncu- scwMcri. 

 rius Lintn. The genital organ is very different: the right valve has outside an almost twice as long and 

 broad appendage and on the inside there is only a very small projection, in pacuvius a very long distally bent 

 hook. From Texas and Arizona (July, August). 



Th. clitus Edw. (p. 917, t. 178 h). Add hereto as synonyms: niaestus G. d- S. (p. 917) and tatius 

 Dyar nee Edw. — tatius Edw., however, is to be jslaced as a form to tristis Bsd. (p. 917) as well as clitus 

 Dyar nee Edw. 



Genus Melaiitlie!^. 



31. hrunnea H.-Schaff. (p. 918) from the Antilles has also been taken in Florida. 



Genus Hesperia. 



As the name of the genus for the species belonging hereto, the name Erinnys Schrk. has been 

 of late proposed. 



H. syrichthus F. (p. 918, t. 178 k). As has been mentioned in the first passage on p. 919, montivagus 

 Beak. (= fumosa Rev.) (178 k) has to be placed as the synonym or perchance as an insignificant, somewhat 

 darker form to syrichthus, as the t3rpe in the Coll. Stbecker shows.
