1044 Additions: LYCAENIDAE. By Dr. M. Deatjdt. 



Habrodais (not Habrodias) grumis Bsd. (p. 773) is no real 'Theclina; it has a forked apical vein and 

 enlarged anterior tarsi lilie some allies of the African Lycaena. 



Crysalus Edw. (p. 773) belongs into the genus Zepliynis. 



Th. lorata Grt. (h Roh. (p. 773) is an artificial produce; the diagnose is not correct; it is a typical 

 specimen of calanus on the under sin-face of the wings of which a black subbasal line has been painted. 



TJi. Ontario Edio. (p. 773) is the northern race of autolyctts and to be ranged there (p. 774, line 1 

 from above). It is a small form without the small orange marginal spots. Very rare, also from New York and 

 Massachusetts. 



Th. auretorum Bsd. (p. 774). We must insert here as synonym tacita Edio. (p. 772, line 10 from 

 below) and tetra Behr (p. 774). — ■ spadix Ediv. (p. 773) is only a southern race of auretorum without the 

 small orange anal spots; the $ is above broadly rust-coloured yellow in the disc. The under surface is 

 more ochreous-yellowish with extinct markings. 



Th. laeta Edw. (p. 783) from eastern habitats of North America is beneath greenish-grey, similar to 

 quaderna (155 i) from Mexico. 



According to clause 36 of the international nomenclatural rules, the species denominated damon on 

 smilacia. p. 798 would have to be called gryneus Hbn., daman becoming synonymous. — f. smilacis Bsd. & Lee, 

 mentioned as a synonym of this on p. 798, is the eastern form with a dark brown, almost monotonous 

 upper surface (sec. Baryies and Benjamin), but according to the kind information by Mr. Forbes it is the 

 long-tailed southern race. Beside the races castalis Ediv. (= discoidalis Shinn.) and f. patersonia Brehme 

 brehniei. (p. 1043) having been already mentioned before, we must yet insert: f. brehmei Barnes <& Benjamin as the 

 Texas-race of the form castalis Edw. with its under surface, but like smilacis "\\'ith a darker upper surface. 



immaculo- Th. titus (p. 811). Add to it: f. immaculosus Comst. with an unspotted under surface. 



Ch. del Sud Wright (p. 812) becomes synonymous to hermes Edw. 



Th. mariposa Beak. (p. 813), according to Barnes and Mc. Dxinnough is to be provided with the 

 synonym zeroe Bsd., nivalis Bsd., however, with the synonym ianthe Ediv. 



The form florus Edw. (p. 813) belongs to helloides, not to dorcas. 



Th. fuUginosa Ediv. (p. 814) is no Lycaenid but a Theclina beside Callipsyche behri (p. 774). 



Lycaena heteronea Bsd. (p. 814) to which clara Edw. belongs as a form is no Lycaena, but it belongs 

 to the Chrysophanus-s-pecies beside rubidus (p. 813) Avith which it is closely allied in spite of the blue ^\ 



L. icarioides Bsd. (p. 815). According to the latest investigations, the synonymy and forms are quite 

 differently arranged: $ = maricopa Beak.; synonyma of it are: (= phileros Bsd., fulla Edw. [of p. 814], 

 ? mintha Edw.). The typical form flies in the Californian mountains. The forms are: ab. daedalus Behr 

 (144 b, p. 815), f. helios Ediv., f. evius Bsd. from South California, /. ardea Edw. from Nevada, Utah and 

 Colorado, f. lycea Edw. (= rapahoe Beak.) of p. 814 from the Western Rocky Mountains and finallj^ f. 

 23em&^?M ^c?m;. from Manitoba and the northern Rocky Mountains to the south as far as Wyoming and Montana. 



L. hilda Ch'imm. is to be placed as a synonym to aehaja Behr which comes as a form to saepiolus 

 Bsd. (line 19 from above), not as a synonym. 



L. kodiak Edio. is to be placed as a form to scudderi Edw. (p. 817). mela Streck. is to be eliminated 

 and becomes a synonym to cyna Edw. (p. 819). 



L. pardalis Behr (= erymus Bsd.) (p. 815) has nothing to do with icarioides Bsd., but belongs into 

 a quite different group otherwise not at all represented in America, to Lycaena in its proper sense tvith 

 arion as the most closely allied species. Above entirely lUie icarioides, beneath on a deep brown ground 

 with intense black spots with fine whitish rings. California. ■ — ■ The third synonym mentioned in icarioides 

 (p. 815), mintha Ediv., most probably belongs to ardea Edw. (a form of icarioides). 



L. antiacis Bsd. (p. 816) belongs as a form to xerxes (p. 815), as well as mertila Edw., whereas behrii 

 Edw. belongs to lygdamas Dhld. to which also couperii Gi'ote is to be placed. 



L. sagittigera Fldr. becomes a synonym; insert as the correct name: piasus Bsd. of p. 818. 



L. speciosa Edw. is not a Phaedrotes, but it comes to Philotes beside sonorensis Fldr. 



L. podarce Fldr. and rustica Edw. (p. 816) are to be placed as forms to aquilo Bsd. (p. 816). 



L. enoptes Bsd. (p. 816). With respect to this group and battoides the studies of Barnes and Mc. 

 DuNNOTJGH have resulted in entkely different opinions which we state in the following. Above all the species 

 belong into the 5 th subordinate genus: Philotes, and not to Rusticus. enoptes and battoides have quite 

 different genitals, whereas glaucon is not to be separated from battoides. Those being especially interested 

 in these difficult questions may compare: Contr. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. Amer. Vol. Ill, Nr. 2, p. 116; Vol. Ill, 

 Nr. 4, p. 213 seq., and Vol. IV, Nr. 2, p. 77 seq.
