English Names for Butterflies.
THE natural objects which attract most attention among all classes are birds, butterflies? and flowers. In England,
the native species of all these groups have received common English names; and no doubt many persons have thus ac- quired a good knowledge of Natural History who might have been repelled by scientific Greek or Lat,in con~pounds. In
our own country all the common birds and flowers have also received such names, and it is my belief that the st,udy of butterflies would be far more popular, if they also had com- mon names.
There would be an advantage, too, in this, for Antiopa would be t.he Camberwell Beauty all the same, how- ever fiercely men wrangled over Papilio vs;.Vanessa as its proper adjunct !
In PSYCHE, then, as its appropriate place, we print the fol- lowing list of names proposed for New &gland butterflies, using as a basis on the- scientific side? the names of rny,Revi- sion. Account is taken of all names that have been proposed by Gosse and others, and they are retained unless special rea- sons prevent.
I.
@&8 8emideu.- The White Mountain butterfly. Harris called it the Mountain butterfly. 2. @neb Juttu.- The arctic Satyr.
3. Enodia Portlandia.- The Pearly-eye.
Thfs is the name given by Gosse.
4. Hinois AZope.- The blue-eyed Grayling. Gosse called it the Blue-eyed Ringlet, but it is rather a Grayling than a Ringlet In English parlance.
5- Hino& Ne#ieZe.- The. 'dullGyed Grayling. 6. Avgm Euq&ce.- The eyed Brown.
This is Gosse's name.
