Hesperia Spio (L.) 



Tab. I fig. 3, 3a, copias figurarum Cleeoki. 



Figuras nou editas Clercki, quarum in tabula acljccta copiam dedi, secunduiii archetypum 

 LiNNÉi factas esse pro certo habeo, neque in descriptione LinnÉi quidquam est, quod iaanc opinionem 

 refellat. Specimen, quod depinxit Cleeck, ad speciem circa urbem promontoiii Boum Spei vulgatissi- 

 mam et ut Hesp. vindex (Ceam.) bene cognitam, referre nou hiesito, quamquani ab omnibus, quas 

 vidi, exemplis, maculis permagnis et inter se confinentibus cellularum Ib et 2:a3 di.screpat. Species 

 Ceameei valde variat prajsertim maculis paginaj inferioris alarum posticarum, nune distinctis, nunc 

 conflueutibus et fascias forniantibus ita, ut nonnulla specimina quoad jDaginam inferiorem melius cum 

 figurå Ceameei, alia omnino euin Cleeoki congruunt. 



Celeb. il. Trimen, vir lepidopterorum Africas meridionalis peritissimus, cui copiam figuras Cleecki 

 misi, benevole mihi scripsit: »As regards P. spio, I could ne ver find anytliing in Linné's descrip- 

 tion sufficient to determine Avhat species of Pyrgus lie meant, and so omitted it from my list. Now 

 that I see your copy of Cleeck's unpublished figures of Linné's type, I think tliat we may consi- 

 der Spio to be the same species, that Ceamee figures (t. 353) as Vindex. At the same time I must 

 say, that I uever met with auy example of Vindex, that presented so large a white spöt on the lower 

 central region of the forewings as is depicted in Cleecks drawing. It would appear as if, in this 

 specimen, the particular sjDot in question (which though very variable in size is always the largest 

 in the forewing) bad become coufluent with the small spöt which in ordinary Vindex is just below 



') Figura, quse sat bene cum figiiris Clercki congrait, et potius hic qiiam ad aliam mihi coguitam speciem referenda esse videtur.
