A Systematic Index of the Races of Palaearctic Rhopalocera described by H. Fruhstorfer by Roger Verity, M. D, of Florence (Italy) Whatever may be said of H. Fruhstorfer’s works, which have given rise to much criticism, he must be credited for having been the first to undertake the study of geographical variation on a broad scale. Up to his time there was a universal prejudice against defining races and fixing them by a name, because it was thought that geographical variation was so indefinite and unlimited that it was a hopeless task to undertake to describe it. Facts are now rapidly showing that, except for a few species, no idea could be more mistaken. Races are not as definite as spe­ cies, but quite enough so to make it well worth describing the most characteristic ones and recording them by names. Results obtained by comparing them and working out the laws of va­ riation are already of the greatest interest and a valuable con­ tribution to the researches on evolution in general. In this sense Fruhstorfer was not able to do much. Only in the latest years of his life had he begun to publish in the „Archiv fiir Natur- geschichte“ a few synthetic papers in the form of Monographs on some species of Melitam and of Erebia of the Palaearctic Region, not to speak, of course, of the Chapters on Exotic genera written for Seitz’s „Groft-Schmetterlinge“. Being a pioneer, most of his descriptions had to be drawn out singly, when races came to his notice and struck him as exhibiting peculiar features, so that the majority are not drawn out with sufficient accuracy and based on comparison with the other races of the species as we are beginning to know them now. He also unfortunately publi­ shed them in rather a large number of Entomological Journals and they are so scattered in innumerable little papers that to keep up with them and know of their existence was a most impossible task. Thus it has happened that many synonyms have been created by subsequent writers and this danger was a posi­ tive nightmare to those who were working on the same line. I have probably experienced it more than any other entomologist, be­ cause of the special work I have been doing in the last few years, and I have on this account been obliged to collect as download www.zobodat.at Palaearctic Rhopalocera clescr. by H. Fruhstorfer. 103 fully as possible and classify Fruhstorfer’s names and descrip­ tions. As it has cost me a considerable amount of labour, I hope by this Index to spare it to others and to remove this very serious hindrance to students. The order I have followed in the classification both of the genera in the families and of the species in the genera is the rational one, which is now being adopted in all branches of Natural History : it begins in each case by the group which is presumably the lowest and it proceeds to the highest and most differentiated ones. I have always kept to the generic and spe­ cific names used by Fruhstorfer, although in many cases it has been found since his time that they are not correct from various points of view and usually from that of the right of priority est­ ablished by the International Rules. A few names will be found in this Index, which are not followed by any reference to the original description. This occurs when they are drawn from the „Catalogue of Types in the Fruh­ storfer collection“,*) published by his widow, the Comtesse de Miléant, but I have been unable to find any corresponding de­ scription of them. Possibly some may never have been actually published, others may have escaped our notice, although the greatest trouble has been taken to look over all the likely publi­ cations, not only by myself, but also by the D e u t s c h e E n- tomologische Institut of Dahlem, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for the help it has given me in the most disinterested manner. We think this Index can now be considered nearly complete. I will, however, be grateful to anybody who discovers omissions, if they will let me know of it at my ad­ dress of : 36, Via Masaccio, Florence (Italy).
