NOTES ON SOME DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA FIGURED IN HOLLAND'S REVISED BUTTERFLY BOOK*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Oeneis semplei Holl. As far as can be judged by a study of a figure of the underside of the male type (Butt. Book, Pl. LXIIi, fig. 3) this is the species referred to by Benjamin and myself as melissa Fabr. (Can. Ent. 1925, Vol. LVII, p. 58). In the series of four males and four females from the east coast of Labrador in the Canadian National Collection it is true that none show quite as definite a subapical ocellus as figured by Holland for the female of semplei but in two instances indications of this ocellus are clearly visible on the underside; in other respects the maculation appears to be identical. A slide of the genitalia should settle the question.
