[71] ARRANGEMENT OF HESPERID^E. 



XII. A SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN AND 

 SOME AMERICAN HESPERIM. 



During the preparation of the Edwards Catalogue of the 

 Diurnal Lepidoptera of North America, the aid of Dr. 

 Speyer, of Rhoden, Prussia, was solicited in the rearrange 

 ment of the difficult group of Hesperidse. The revision 

 kindly undertaken by him embraced only those of the North 

 American species forty in number which were represented 

 in his cabinet, together with the European species, of which 

 twenty-three are enumerated. These latter could not conven 

 iently be given in the pages of the catalogue, but as it is the 

 first satisfactory arrangement of the European forms the 

 more valuable to us from its incorporation with our more 

 numerous species the present opportunity is taken to pre 

 sent the arrangement in full as furnished by Dr. Speyer. 



It is proper to state that the free use which was made in the 

 catalogue of the MS. of Dr. Speyer, especially in the publi 

 cation of the generic definitions, was not in accordance with 

 his intension, and has called from him an expression of 

 regret. We hope that this further use of the MS. may prove 

 less objectionable.
