with the species for which Zeller took them, being in my 

 opinion nothing more nor less than the so-called " TcBtiio- 

 campa gracilis.'' 



I have not examined minutely into Zeller' s identification 

 of Py rales, but Mr. Warren recently called my attention to 

 the fact that the type specimen of Zeller's Phacellura magda- 

 lena. is labelled as " distinguished from P. columhiana by the 

 clear fringes of the hind wings " ; he not noticing that his four 

 other examples do not differ at all in this particular, but, on 

 the other hand, that the colouring of the anal tuft is the true 

 distinguishing character. 



However, I think it is hardly worth while to proceed 

 further ; whatever blunders Zeller made, he was a grand 

 man, and, as a rule, careful : it has been necessary to show 

 that his identifications were no more accurate than those of 

 any other good worker, and this I have done. 



Mr. Elwes severely criticised my ' Catalogue of SatyridaB ' ; 

 I shall therefore proceed to point out in what manner it 

 differs from Staudinger's Catalogue. 



1. Under Erebia arete I give the synonym Papilio claudina 

 of Borkhausen, which Staudinger omits to notice. 



2. Under Erebia pharte I quote as a variety E. euryale of 

 Herrich-Schiiffer's fig. 101, whereas Staudinger considers 

 (perhaps rightly) that all Herrich-Schiiffer's figures represent 

 the same species. 



8. Under Erebia kefersteinii I quote E. theano as a syno- 

 nym, but Staudinger considers that both are good species : 

 on the other hand E. stubbendorfii is considered by Staudinger 

 to be a synonym of E. theano, and I have retained it as a 

 separate species. It must be remembered here that I had 

 never seen examples of any of these forms, and therefore 

 only judged by figures and descriptions. 



4. Under E. melanipus I have quoted E. cassiope var. 

 pyrenaica, E. mnestra, and E. eriphyle as varieties, whereas 

 Staudinger gives the first as a variety of E. epiphron and the 

 two others as distinct species. 



5. I gave E. pyrrha priority over E. manto, Esper, on the 

 ground that an Erebia manto already existed ; but, as already 

 stated, Staudinger sinks the latter as a synonym of E.
