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



Genus Chiomara. 



Ch. gesta H.-Schaff. (p. 913, t. 178 a). As another synonym llano Dodge is yet to be added. — This 

 species is now placed to Thanaos, next to lacustra (178 i) and burgessi. 



Genus Heliopetes. 



H. domicella, Erichs. (p. 914, t. 178c). Another sjmonym is to be added: nearchus Edw. 



H. nivella. Mab. (p. 914, t. 178 d) also occurs in Texas where it fhes in June. 



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

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

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

 name. — To ericetorum Bsd. (178 f) add as synonym alba Ediv. But ericetorum itself is to be regarded as 

 a distinct species. 



Genus Thanaos. 



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. & Burg. 



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

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



Th. burgessi Skinn. is very similar to lacustra Wright (p. 917, t. 178 i) which has to be ranged here, burgessi. 

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

 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 2)ersius 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 penngra. 

 lucilius : 



Th. calh'dus Grinii. (= lilius Dyar) is in the female marked like brizo (178 f), whereas the S shows callidus. 

 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 ausonius as ,,aberrat." to zarucco (line 19 from below). 



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



Th. propertius Lintn. (p. 916, t. 178 h). Hereto add as synonym: (= tibellus Scddr. & Burg.); and 

 besides: f. borealjs Cary as a dark race with very much reduced light spots, from the Mackenzie. borealls. 



Th. petronius Lintn. (p. 916, t. 178 g) is to be placed as a synonym to the following horafius Scddr. 

 (178 h), and 



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

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



Th. scudderi Skinn. (= pacuvius G. & S. nee Lintn.) in its exterior is not discernible from pacu- scuddeH. 

 vius 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 distaUy bent 

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



Th. clitus Edw. (p. 917, t. 178 h). Add hereto as synonyms: maestus G. & S. (p. 917) and tati%is 

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

 Dyar nee Edw. 



Genus Melaiithes. 



M. brunnea H.-Schdff. (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, montivacjus 

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

 darker form to syrichthus, as the type in the Coll. Strecker shows.
