A CORRECTION
Mr. E. L. Bell of New York has drawn my attention to a very serious mistake in my recently published Catalogue of the American Hesperiidce, Volume 4. I have placed the name otho Abbot & Smith as a synonym of Polites coras Cramer and replaced it in the genus Wallengrenia by pustula Geyer as a subspecies of druryi Latreille. I checked up and found I had entered on my card for otho that "the upper figure on Abbot and Smith's plate was to be taken as the type and that it represented coras", dated 4th November, 1941. I cannot understand how I came to make this utterly incorrect decision. I can of course think of the further checks I ought to have made. But it is no good crying over spilt milk, and I would ask all possessors of the book to eliminate otho as a synonym of coras; to place otho as a specific name in place of druryi and as a subspecific name in place of pustula, which name becomes a synonym of otho; to alter in the index the reference number for otho. In a book of this nature there are certain to be a number of additions and amendments, which can be announced in due course, but in respect of this major blunder I feel that immediate action is needed.
