This year has marked the passing of Jeane D. Gunder, former member of the Lorquin Entomological Society of Los Angeles, and known to many for his enthusiastic work in diurnal Lepidopters. His death occurred at his home, 310 Linda Vista Ave., Pasadena, California, on November 17, 1948.
Jean D. Gunder was born in New York City in 1888 but had lived in Pasadena for over 25 years prior to his death. His active interest in butterflies was dropped in 1935 when economic conditions forced him to give up his collection and enter a new business. In 1937, he sold his collection of about 28,000 specimens to the American Museum of Natural History in New York. His fine library was acquired by Cyril D. dos Passos.
Gunder's keen interest in butterflies led him to describe 212 species, races, forms and aberrations, which were presented in the leading American entomological journals. Aberrations were his principal interest for many years and his last work on these controversial "transition forms", as he called them, was of real importance. His most outstanding work was "The Genus Euphydryas of Boreal America" in 1929 and "North American Institutions Featuring Lepidoptera", 1929-30. At least six butterflies and two moths were named in his honor by leading lepidopterists during his entomological career. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Fannie Gunder.
