2018 May 4 evening<\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Only one observation reported this evening – namely that a Red Admiral<\/strong> was again on the Mount Tolmie reservoir, at about 6:30 pm.  No California Tortoiseshell seen there this evening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   No further observations this evening, but a nomenclatural problem has arisen.  Viewers will have noticed that on this site I list the elfins in the genus Incisalia<\/em>.  From time to time, someone will point out to me that the genus “should be” Callophrys<\/em> and that Incisalia<\/em> is “invalid”.  I am well aware of the Callophrys<\/em>\/Incisalia <\/em>problem, and the reasons for it, and there are reasons why I have been using the genus name Incisalia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  However, an enormous new complication has arisen.  Over the years, the Cedar Hairstreak has undergone numerous changes in its scientific and its English names.  I had hoped that it had finally settled down to Mitoura rosneri<\/em>.  Apparently some taxonomists now declare that it is Callophrys gryneus<\/em>. This I cannot understand at all  –  I cannot see that the Cedar Hairstreak belongs in Callophrys<\/em> or in Incisalia <\/em>at all.  Until the “new” name gets general acceptance I shall continue on this site to list it as Mitoura rosneri. <\/em> <\/em>The pronunciation of Mitoura<\/em>, by the way, is Myto Yura. It means Thread Tail. <\/em>Perhaps we shall see some during the Butterfly Walk on Sunday. See you all there.<\/p>\n
