The discovery of a gynandromorph of a North American Epeolus Latreille is reported. A specimen of E. flavofasciatus Smith from Flagstaff, Arizona, USA discovered in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) exhibits male-specific features on the left and female-specific features on the right, consistent with bilateral gynandromorphism (the first known case in the genus). Descriptions and images of the aberrant features exhibited by the specimen are presented.

Henry Fairfield Osborn

On November 19, 1911, Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952), the “photohistorian” of American Indians, wrote to his friend Edmond S. Meany, Professor of History at the University of Washington, about his latest triumphs. “Dear Brother Meany,” he began, “I think we can say that my lecture entertainment ‘arrived’. I wish you could have been present at the Carnegie Hall affair. The tremendous auditorium was filled to overflowing, a sea of people from the stage to the very ‘sky’ itself.” Curtis had been introduced by Henry Fairfield Osborn, Director of the American Museum of Natural History; just before they stepped into view Osborn looked through the foliage and, according to Curtis, had remarked, ‘“Do you realise that that is almost an appalling audience, and one that few men in their life-time have the privilege of facing?’” “I think,” Curtis added, “he was a little nervous on his own account and slightly so on mine, [but] rather than causing nervousness … it gave me courage and I was absolutely certain of myself after my first two words.” “Osborn's voice,” Curtis explained, “lacks the carrying power and his slight nervousness meant a rather halting introduction. This was evidently greatly to my advantage, as the minute I spoke I reached the farther-most corners and my voice caught and held the people.”

New Synonymy

Through the courtesy of the authorities of the American Museum of Natural History I have been enabled recently to make slides of the genitalia of a number of Pearsall's types of Eupithecia, contained in their collections, and also to examine slides of type material made by Mr. S. Cassino. The following- new synonymy is based on a careful study of this slide material and a comparison with numerous slides and figures of the genitalia of type material of other authors before me. It continues illy work on this genus contained in several papers published in the Canadian Entonlolcgist in 1929-1932.
