104 dos Passos: Supplementary notes Vol.17: no.2
How to know the butterflies. It has not been possible to incorporate much of his extensive revisionary work in the Synonymic List.
Euphydryas chalcedona hermosa Wright 1905, and E. c. klotsi dos Passos 1938. Mr. David L. Bauer of Bijou, California, has written to me that he believes that an error was made by me in sinking klotsi for hermosa (Journ. lepid. soc. 15: 220; 1962). This opinion is based upon considerable field experience during which time he has bred these insects and observed that they have different larval food plants. Since the genitalia of hermosa and klotsi are of the chalcedona type it may be that these insects, although described from localities not very far apart, are valid subspecies. The solution of the problem requires further study and it is to be hoped that Mr. Bauer will publish his observations. In the meanwhile it is only fair to other lepidopterists to issue this note so that they may be on the alert for further facts.
