Extract

For several years correspondents in Arizona and California have been sending out an Euphydryas taken at various localities in Arizona as “hermosa” which is obviously not that species. Hermosa Wright (1905, Butts. West Coast, p. 157, No. 179) was described from southern Arizona which may account in part for the misidentification. It is figured by the author (Plate XIX figs. 179, b, c) and does not appear to be rare in collections.

* Anyone studying the genitalia of the Euphydryas must beware of Gunder's erroneous use of technical terms. The errors occur on the first half of page 2 and are as follows—“left” on lines 1 and 10 should read “right”; “uncus” on lines 1 and 9 should read “clasper.” Without these corrections that portion of the pasper is meaningless. The author knew what he wanted to say without being able to express it
