DESCRIPTION OF LYCÆNA DÆDALUS, Behr, AND CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN ITS SYNONYMY
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
I have received from that indefatigable explorer and naturalist, Mr. W. G. Wright, of San Bernardino, several examples of Lycœna Dœdalus, ♂ ♀. Up to this date the ♂, as described by Dr. Behr, has been unknown to me personally, and by all recent list makers has been set down as a synonym of Icaroides, Bois. Its female is Aehaja, Behr., also put down as a syn. of Sœpiolus, or rather es one of the dimorphic forms of the female of that species.
Mr. Wright made the ascent of one of the lofty mountains in that region, and says: “Saw nothing on the way up, except that at the camping halfway place were a few of these Lycœnœ and a Grapta. Next day, on going up to the high crest, it was a little cloudy, but not very cold (50° probably), yet not one butterfly was seen during the entire day, though I stayed on the crest, 11,550 feet, several hours.
