; ■' Whether all of the several forms thus merged under Telicota dara 
Kollar, are positively identical may perhaps be questioned a little, but 
1 ^ *he identity of T\ omaha , with the form described as P. mcesoides by 
Butler there is not a shadow of doubt. 
Mr. Elwes, in his revision of the Hesperiidae of the Oriental Region 
referred to in the foregoing paragraph, describes as a new species a Teli- 
cotd to which he gives the name of simplex (Cf. p. 253, PL XIX, Fig. 
15, £ ). This is the same species which I described in the Proceedings 
of the Boston Society of Natural History, Vol. XXV, p. 79, PI. IV, fig. 
4, under the name Telicota subrubra. I do not much wonder that from 
the wretched figure I gave, Elwes was unable to make out the species, 
and I am thankful to him for having given so good a figure. Of course, 
his name sinks as a synonym. Had he noted my description and asked 
for information as he did in reference to some other species, I might 
have helped him to avoid the error. His work is a splendid contribu¬ 
tion to our knowledge of the subject, and minor errors of this sort are 
likely to occur in the case of the most careful student. 
Much has been written concerning Limenitis fioridensis Strecker, 
[ anc ^ Limenitis eros W. H. Edwards. The latter author insists upon 
the distinctness of his species from that named by Strecker. I cannot 
agree with him. With the type of L. eros before me, and after having 
carefully examined the insect named L. fioridensis by Strecker, I am 
sure of the identity of the two. Strecker’s name has priority. 
What is Zeuzera canadensis Herrich-Schaeffer ? Under this name 
the distinguished lepidopterist of Ratisbon named and figured a species 
of Zeuzera , which, he informs us, came from “ Quebeck ” (sic). From 
the time of the publication of his plate to this present hour no such 
insect has turned up on American soil. I recently purchased, while in 
London, a set of a Zeuzera from Natal, which is undoubtedly the insect 
figured by Cramer as Noctua asylas (Pap. Exot., PI. 137, fig. C). Is 
not this species of Cramer the same as the one figured by Herrich- 
Schaeffer ? It looks to me as if possibly Z. canadensis might be an 
African form, and that we are dealing in this case again with a mistaken 
local ity-label. Quien sabe ? *
