SIBLING SPECIES IN THE EURYDICE GROUP OF LETHE ( LEPIDOPTERA : SATYRIDAE)
We have uncovered a pair of sibling species in the comparatively well-known butterfly fauna of eastern North America: the common Grass Nymph or Eyed Brown, Lethe eurydice of recent authors, is actually two species, which are extensively sympa,tric. Curiously, the distinctness of these two has been known since at least 1936, when W. D. Field discovered and characterized them as subspecies. He assigned names to them which we now know to be inapplicable. This was corrected in 1947 by R. L. Chermock, who named the presumably more southern "subspeciesn appalachia. Neither of these authors was aware that the "subspecies" are sym- patric.
The present investigation was first suggested when one of us (Clench) found both forms flying in the same area near Leesburg, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania in 1966. The conspicuous habitat differ- ence between them implied that two species might be involved. In 1968 another of us (Shapiro) found the same situation in western and central New York and (with Card;) investigated the immature stages and biology of the insects. The results of this study are partly reported elsewhere ( Shapiro and Card;, I 970). Independently of us, C. F. dos Passos and his correspondents simultaneously made the same discovery. Several of the conclusions contained in the resulting paper (dos Passos, 1969) appear erroneous. Since the taxonomic situation is very complex, we here review the whole subject, nomenclatorially, morphologically, and distributionally. In brief, we recognize two species in this group, as follows: ( la) Lethe eurydice eurydice (Johansson) , widely distributed from Labrador to Great Slave Lake and south to Delaware and Illinois, occurring in open marshes and sedge meadows. ( 1b) Lethe eurydice fumosa (Leussler) , scattered in small isolated colonies (many now extinct) in sedgy permanent marshes in the 'Department of Entomology and Lirnnology, Cornel! University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14850.

(2) Lethe appalachia R. L. Chermock, widely distributed from Maine to northern Florida, westward to South Dakota and Alabama, broadly sympatric with L. e. eurydice but occurring primarily in swamp forest, shrub swamps and forest-edge ecotones. These forms have had a particularly extensive history in earlier literature, involving not just the above names but several others as well, as may be seen below.
TAXONQMY
In reviewing the taxa of the Lethe eurydice group, we have given the synonymies in strict chronological order, following the practice of some of the older authors. We hope this practice will add his- torical perspective to the discussions of these intricate synonymies. The distributional data and maps (figs. 21, 22) were based on material examined in the following institutional collections: Ameri- can Museum of Natural History, New York (AMNH) ; Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) ; United States Na- tional Musuem, Washington, D.C. (USNM) ; Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh (CM) ; Cornell University, Ithaca, New York (CU) ; New York State Museum, Albany (NYSM) ; and Hope Depart- ment of Entomology, Oxford University, England (Oxon. ) . Also the following private collections : Robert H. Whittaker (RHW) ; David J. Horn (DJH) ; Arthur M. Shapiro (AMS). A few reliable printed or other records, based on specimens not seen, are given separately, along with a few which are queried. The sexes of Lethe are very similar and may at times be difficult to determine in a superficial examination. We have therefore listed only the localities and dates of material examined. In the case of large series, only a range of dates may be given. The characters differentiating the three entities recognized in this paper are summarized in Table I and in the accompanying section of the text. A brief summary of the most conspicuous characters of each is given following its taxonomic history. Lethe eurydice eurydice (Johansson)

Lethe (Enodia) eurydice: R. L. Chermock 1947, Ent. News 58: 29. The descriptions of both eurydice yohansson and canthus Linnaeus are too scanty to restrict on internal evidence to either of the sympatric northeastern species, both of which occur at the type locality (Shapiro, 1g7oa). If that locality (Philadelphia) is accu- rate, there can be no doubt that Johansson's description applies only to a member of this group, even though no mention is made of eyespots on the forewing above (an objection to this usage, raised by Harris, 1862 and Edwards, 1897). No type of eurydice or canthus (which was proposed explicitly as a replacement name for eurydic~ and hence has the same type) exists in the British Museum (Natural History) or in the De Geer collection at the Naturhis- toriska Ri ksmuseum, Stockholm.
When appalachia (see below) was described as the southern sub- species of eurydice, the latter name became firmly associated with the assumed "northern" subspecies whose color and pattern were contrasted with appalachia by Chermock. It seems desirable to

stabilize the nomenclature by preserving this usage through a neo- type designation. This removes the possibility that a specimen of Chermock's appalachia might eventually be selected as neotype of eurydice, leaving the familiar "northern" insect's name in question. The only Philadelphia specimens of eurydice auct. with full data which we have found were collected by one of us (Shapiro). Several of these were placed in the United States National Museum two years ago, and we desiginate one such specimen the neotype of Papilio eurydice Johansson.
Neotype. -A male deposited in the U.S. National Museum bearing the manuscript label "eurydice d/Morris Arboretum/Phila. Co. Pa./29 June 1967/A. M. Shapiro" (fig. I). We have added a label identifying the specimen as the neotype of PapiZio eurydice Johansson. The U.S.N.M. also contains a second specimen with the same locality and collection date.
Taxonomic History: the Euptychia names. - The taxonomy of L. eurydice is complicated by confusion with Yphfhimoides (= Euptychia) argulus (Godart). This ~roblem was not noted by dos Passos, and is reviewed here.
Fabricius (1775) reworked the description of canthufJ adding "immaculatis" to the upperside diagnosis and altering various details. The "immaculatis" may have been by inference from the lack of reference to spots in the earlier descriptions, but it seems more likely that Fabricius was working from some other insect he confused with the Linnean one.
In 1779 Cramer described and figured a
species from Surinam as Papilio argante. This name is a junior homonym of PapiZio argante Fabricius I 7 75 (now Phoebis argante, Pieridae) . Fabricius synonymized argante Cramer to canthus ( Fabricius, I 78 I ) , improperly emending it to argant he in synonymy. (Arganthle is not available as a replacement name because it was proposed in synonymy.) He repeated this usage in 1787 and 1793. His own descriptions of "canthusJ' do not fit Cramer's figure well. Godart ( I 82 I ) recognized that three species were included in the Fabrician concept "canthusJJ and attempted to end the confusion by redescribing the true canthus (translating Linnaeus), and naming two new entities, mgulus and cantheus. Godart's argulus is a re- placement name for the preoccupied argante and is the oldest valid name for this taxon. Cantheus is a renaming of the entity Fabricius first thought was canthus, theretofore without a valid name. The identity of this animal cannot be determined if, as appears, Fabrician specimens of "canthusJJ do not exist.

76 Psyche [March
Butler ( I 868) described Euptychia perfuscata and subsequently ( 1869)
synonymized it to argante. We have not seen his speci- mens (which should be in the British Museum), nor any specimen definitely determinable under any of these names. The most recent discussion of argulus is by Weymer ( 1907, p. 202). The leading North American authority on Euptychia and its allies, L. D. Miller, advises us (in Hit.)
that he does not know the species, but from Cramer's description and figure would place it near Yphthirnoidies grimon. The partial synonymy of argante = argulus is thus: Papilio argante Cramer 1779 (nec Papilio argante Fabricius 1775), De Uitlandkch. Kapell. 3: 19, pi. 204; type locality Surinam; type not investigated.
$ Papilio canthus (nec Linnaeus 1767) : Fabricius 1781 (partim), Spec. Ins. 2: 64
(arganthe in synonymy) ; 1787, Mant. Ins. 2: 31; 1793, Ent. Syst. 3(l) : 157.
Satyrus argulus Godart 1821, Encyl. Meth. 9: 463, 488; type locality Surinam ; type never existed (replacement name for argante) . ? Euptychia perfuscata Butler 1868, Cat. Satyridae Br. Mus.: 18; type locality Para, Brazil; type probably in British Museum, not investigated. ? Euptychia argante: Butler 1869, Cat. Diurn. Lep. Fabr. Br. Mus. 13. Cantheus, which is the unknown animal Fabricius confounded first with canthus and then with argante, usually appears in the synonymy of eurydice = canthus, but its only proper claim there is its mis- taken use in synonymy by Morris (1860). We have removed cantheus Godart from the synonymies of the other entities and regard it as a nomen dubwm, presumably a species of Euptychia sens. lat. Its synonymy is :
$ Papilio canthus (nec Linnaeus 1767) : Fabricius 1775 (fartim), Syst. Ent.: 486; 1781, Spec. Ins. 2: 64; 1787, Mant. Ins. 2: 31; 1793, Ent. Syst. 3 (1) : 157.
Satyrus cantheus Godart 1821, Encyl. Meth. 9: 465, 493; type locality TAmerique septentrionale": type not investigated, probably never existed.
Godart's description of cantheus erroneously cites Fabricius, "Species Insectorum" for "Mantissa Insectorum." The name is misspelled "cautheus" in the heading on page 465. Taxonomic History : other names. - Gosse ( I 841 ) attributes the name Hipparchia transmontana to Say, but it does not appear in any extant work by that author. It usually appears in the synonymy of eurydice attributed to Gosse 1840. Apparently Gosse believed it was described elsewhere, since his "description" (1840, p. 247) is

inadequate to associate it with any biological entity. It could apply to any of several Quebec Satyridae, which are not exhausted by the other species enumerated in the text. His statement that "this is likewise described by the American naturalists as very rare, and is found only beyond the Rocky Mountains . . ." makes no sense when applied to any species of Lethe. We regard this as a nonzen nudum and have omitted it from the synonymy.
Field ( 1936) resurrected transmontana as the northern sub- species of eurydice describing it adequately and giving as the type locality Gosse's base at Compton, Quebec. This is the oldest valid publication of the name, which should thus be credited to Field 1936. This subspecific distinction was grounded in confusion over the entities now called eurydice and appalachia. Observing differences between northern eurydice and specimens from near the type locality, Philadelphia, which he took as typical of that taxon but which were really appalachia, Field felt that a subspecific name was war- ranted. This is clear from his article, particularly the citation of Clark's ( 1932) figures of Beltsville, Maryland appalachia which Field (like Clark) calls typical eurydice. Thus transmontana be- comes a junior subjective synonym of eu.rydice. We c?n see no subspecific differences among eastern populations of eurydice as here restricted. Field's female form rawsoni is based on specimens faded in life; such specimens occur throughout the range of eurydice. The name is infrasubspecific and therefore has no formal standing. The name boisduvallii was attributed by dos Passos (1964) to Morris ( 1862), an error corrected later (dos Passos, 1969). Morris published the name in synonymy, spelled boisduvalli. The first valid publication was in the posthumous (1862) edition of Harris's "In- sects Injurious to Vegetation," edited by Flint. The editor's preface makes clear that the name should be attributed to Harris. It was emended to boisduvalii by Scudder ( I 889) in synonymy ; this spelling is used by Forbes (1960) and dos Passos ( 1964). DOS Passos (1969) has further emended it to boisduvali. Although not the preferred form, the double "i" is acceptable in taxonomy as the genitive of the Latinized name, i.e. "Boisduvalius." While Boisduval spelled his name with only one "1" and there is no orthographic reason to double it in forming the Latin genitive, the fact that the Fig. 15.

name is spelled boisduvallii in both the text and index of Harris (1862) indicates that the double "I" was the form used in the Harris manuscript, and this is confirmed by its use in Morris's ( I 862) citation from that manuscript. Unfortunately, then, boisdu- valli is technically a "correct original spelling" and cannot be emended under the Code.
Summary of Characters. - Lethe eurydice eurydice is relatively pale, ~inkish brown above, somewhat yellowish beneath, with the postmedial line deeply indented beneath on all wings. The male valve is strongly 4-sided when viewed laterally, and the tegumen is dorsally rounded. The larva appears superficially to have dark side- stripes on the head capsule, extending from near the tip of the horns to the ocelli. These and other characters are discussed more com- ~letely under the headings "Diagnostic Characters" and "Biological Differences," after the taxonomic treatment of Lethe appalachia, below.
