Funereal Duskywing Q.

[DR. JAMES ADAMS]

Wanda Dameron wrote, in response to Justin Brown request about
Erynnis funeralis in Scott's book:
 
> It is noted as a subspecies under sp. 656, page 492 and Plate 43;656cd.
> Now a full species.
 
Well, it has been treated as a full species is virtually every
publication *except* Scott's.  Scott is a notorious lumper, so to
say that E. funeralis is *now* a full species is not really accurate.
It has been considered a full species for a long time.
