1943 I Calisto
SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ON CALISTO
(LEPIDOPTERA: SATYRIDB)
BY HARRY K. CLENCH
Cambridge, Mass.
In a recent number of Psyche I published a paper on Calisto in which five new forms (one species and four subspecies) were described. While this paper was in press, too far advanced to be recalled, I received a copy of Dr. C. D. Michener's paper on the same genus.3 Thus, by an unfortunate coincidence (neither of us was aware of the other's, work), a slight confusion has arisen. This confusion is not so serious as it might have been, and is easily corrected. Below are given the forms described by me that are likely to be confused.
Calisto batesi Clench (op. cit., p: 23) is a homonym of Calisto hysius batesi Michener (op. cit., p. 3). In place of this name, which is thus no longer valid, I propose Calisto micheneri, new name.
Calisto hysius montana Clench (op. cit., p. 24) is unaffected and still stands, being something other than Dr. Michener's subspecies. ,
Calisto conjusa debarriera Clench (op. cit., p. 25) is correctly placed by me under confusa, of which it is possibly only an altitudinal modification. Michener (op. cit., p. 5) erred in re- ferring Bates' "Variety B" (1935, Occ. Papers Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 8, p. 240(239)) to obscura Michener, "Variety B" is still to be placed in the synonymy of debarriera. Calisto obscura Michener is an exceedingly interesting dis- covery, which I must confess I completely overlooked when preparing my paper, although the species is well represented in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Localities for obscura in the M. C. 2. collection (other than those given by Michener) are as follows: Puerto Sosua (Rep. Dom.) ; Mt. Rouis; Dessalines; Ennery (all Haiti). Published with the aid of a grant from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College.
