1052 Additions: HESPERIDAE. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



H. centaur eae R7nb. (p. 918). Hevethensuneruralis Bsd. as a, synonym is to be eliminated and placed 



behind the latter as a distinct species with the synonyms: caespitalis Bsd., ricara Edw., petreius Edw. (p. 919). 



It is a smaller and darker species than the preceding, distributed from Alberta to Texas. 



macdun- H. xanthus Edw. (p. 919, t. 179a). Insert here: f. macdunnoughi Obth. is only half as large with 



nought, somewhat smaller spots slightly more distinctly and clearly contrastling with the purer dark ground. From 



Arizona. 



The species called H. mordivaga (p. 919) must be named: tessellata Scdd7-. 



Insert between D. gyrans Plotz (p. 924, t. 180 a) and microsticta G. & S. (p. 925, t. 180 a): 



Genus ]>alla. 



pirus. D. pirus Ediv. (= semicaeca M. & B.). Above dull blackish-brown, marked as in ■polingii, but with 



smaller, partly quite absent spots. Hindwing without spots. Beneath lighter brown, the forewing in the disc 

 someM'hat blackened; 3 minute subapical spots close together in one line with 2 below the lower cell-angle. 

 Utah, Colorado. 



Genus Pampliila. 



Barnes and Mc Dtjnnotjgh propose to replace this name by: Carterocephalus Led. 

 P. floridae Mah. (p. 926) is to be cancelled here; the name is to be placed as a synonym to Lero- 

 dea eufala Edw. (p. 941, t. 182 k). 



Genus Oarisma. 



0. edu'ardsii Barnes. To this species the description has yet to be added. Above bright golden yel- 

 low, fringes proximally dark brown, distally lighter. Beneath the forewing is yellowish, except the proximal 

 margin being shaded with blackish. Hindwing greyish-yellow, in the anal third yellow. Described according 

 to 1 cj from Denver (Colorado). 



Genus Aiicyloxypha. 



A. longleyi French (p. 927) is to be placed to the preceding numitor (p. 927, t. 180 c) of which it is 

 merely a form with a lustrous bluish-black upper surface. 



Genus Copaeocles. 



C. tvrightii Edw. and eunus Edu-. are to be placed into the following genus Chaerephon; before Ch. 

 rhesus Edw. (p. 928, t. 180 e). 



C. myrtis Edw. is to be cancelled as a species and the name to be placed as a synonym to Ancy- 

 loxypha arena Ediv. (p. 928, t. 180 e). 



To C. singularis H.-Schdff. (p. 928, t. 180 d) add as another synonym nanus Wts., and insert after 

 this species: 

 rayala. C. rayata B. & McD. (= $ procris Edw. (part.), waco Plotz nee Edw., aurantiaca G. db S.). This 



small species resembles arene (180 e) above, but beneath it is easily discernible by a white ray of the hind- 

 wing extending from the base through the cell to the distal margin, the other cell-spaces being also striped 

 whitish. Expanse of wings: 18 to 20mm. Texas to Mexico. 



Genus Cliaerepliou. 



Beside the above mentioned species Copaeodes ivrightii Edw. (180 d) and eunus Edw. (180 e), also 

 Erynnis cams Edw. (p. 930) and Stomyles simius Edw. (p. 943, t. 193 b) have recently been inserted in this 

 genus. 



Genus £ryuuis. 



As the name Erynnis has to supersede the genus having hitherto been known as Hesperia in the 

 literature, Barnes and il/c Dunnotjgh have proposed to designate the former Erynnis as genus Hesperia. 

 The arrangement of the species differs so entirely in the position and synonymy from the former arrange- 

 ment by Dyar that we prefer to follow the arrangement stated by A. W. Lindsey and according to the 

 latest researches by ISii. F. H. Benjamin; in order to facilitate this, we add the number of pages and lines 

 of our former treatment.
