PUTNAM ON UTAH ?. 1 9 3

Report on the collected in the vicinity of Spring Lake Villa, Utah Co., Utah, during the Summer of 1875. BY J. D. PUTNAM. During the past summer I again accompanied Dr. C. C. Parry on a trip to tlie Rocky Mountains. This time we located our headquarters on the edge o f the sage brush plain, 5,000 feet above the sea, level, a few miles north of Mount Netfb and about an equal distance from Utah Lake, at the delightful little fruit-growing settlement of Spring Lake V illa, seventy-five miles south o f Salt Lake City. Here a large group ot springs gushing from the base of the abrupt mountains furnished an abundant supply of water, making a beautiful oasis in the sur­ rounding desert. Thus the conditions were favorable for a large de­ velopment o f insect life. Here we spent the greater part of July, A u ­ gust and September, and though quite an invalid most o f the time, I was enabled to make a very fair collection, being greatly aided by the kind attention of Mr. B. F Johnson and his boys. During August we spent several weeks high up in Summit Canon several miles north o f Mount Nebo and about 8000 feet above the sea. I was twice able to ascend to points over 10,000 feet high. As w ill be seen by the accom­ panying lists the fauna here differs considerably from that below. On the 5th o f July we made a short visit to the shores o f the southern ex­ tremity o f Utah Lake. On a salty mud flat left by the evaporating waters I found a remarkable array o f beetles, mostly Carabidie, run­ ning actively about over the salty mud in the hot sun. In the course of about two hours I collected 000 specimens of 89 species, of which two at least have proved to be new and others were o f great rarity. In making out the list o f Coleoptera I have kept the species from each o f the above three localities separate. I am indebted again to Mr. Henry Ulke for the determination of the names and many other favors. Owing to ill health, I did nor, make nearly so good a collection of the and Neuroptera as the opportunities afforded. The few Lepidoptera which I was able to preserve were very kindly named for me, by Mr. Henry Edwards, while I was in San Francisco last fall. They were also examined by Dr. H. Behr and Mr. R. H. Stretch, whose kind attentions will long be remembered. I have in­ serted in the list the names of a few fam iliar butterflies which were noticed but not collected. The Neuroptera were sent to Dr. H. A. Hagen, at Cambridge, and his report indicates an interesting fauna. The Ortlioptera have been sent to Dr. Cyrus Thomas for determina­ tion, but no return has yet been received. The Hymenoptera of which many handsome species were found, have been determined by Mr. E. T. Cresson, who describes Xomndn Putiuimii as new. Considerable collections of the other orders of Insects, (Diptera, Hemiptera, Aracli- nida, etc.,) weje made, as well as of Shells and Reptiles, but these I have not yet had the means of studying. , . .

Lepidoptera.

R h o p a l o c b r a . Papilio turnus, Linn. One specimen of this or an allied species was collected at Spring Lake, July 9. It was not uncommon. P a pilio zolicaon, Boisd. This species was noticed several times on the sage brush plain near the base o f the mountains, but was not collected. Parnassius darius, Boisd. Quite common during August in Summit Canon, from 8,000 to 10,000 feet altitude. Mr. Edwards marked this species P. dodius, but according to the figures in W. H. Edwards Butterflies of North America it is certainly dariux. Most likely they are both the same species. P ie ris oleracea, Boisd. V ery abundant in Summit Canon, at 8,000 feet, but was not no­ ticed elsewhere, either on the plains or high up on the mountains. The specimens collected are almost entirely pure white, most of them having scarcely any trace even o f black atoms at the base o f the wing. One specimen only has a very little black at the apex and a little more at the base and along the cost o f the anterior wings Pieris protodice, Boisd. Common at Spring Lake in July. Two specimens. Pieris occidentalis, Reakirt. Quite common in Summit Canon and high up on the mountains during August. This species and the preceding look a good deal alike. DAVENPORT ACADEMY <>F NATURAL SCIENCES. doliax let truyde/t, Edw. Not very :ibundant at Spring Lake and quite rare in Summit Canon. do/iax Seudtlerii, Reakirt. One specimen from the north slope o f Mount Nebo at 9,000 feet, August 23d. Iht/iais erippus, Cram Moderately abundant at Spring Lake during August and Sept­ ember. Aryynuix Etbcardxii, Reakirt. ■>;.! One specimen from Spring Lake Villa, September 3. This spe­ cimen is much larger and rather brighter colored than the figures on Plate X I of Edward’s Butterflies of North America. ' Ary yarn's euryuorne, Edw. Quite common in Summit Canon, but difficult to capture on ac­ count of the steep slopes o f the mountains Some o f the speci­ mens appear more like .1. Nemtleiisix, and there may have been other species. Melituta uub/yena, Belir. Quite common in Summit Canon and on the surrounding moun­ tains during August. One specimen larger and rather differently marked ma^ be another species. Phyriotie,s sp. ? One specimen Summit Cannon, August. dhyeiudex sp ? One specimen Summit Canon, August. These two species, which are quite different, were not uncommon. (irapta xatyras, Edw. One specimen was taken at Spring Lake Villa, July 9th. (,Irapta zephyrus, Edw. One specimen was taken in a side gulch from Summit Canon, 9,000 feet ebove the sea, August 19th. Vanessa antiopa, Linn. Not uncommon at Spring Lake during July and August, but was not collected. Vawssta niilbertii, Godt. Observed occasionally in Summit Canon, but I was unable to get a specimen on account ot its rapid irregular flight among fallen timber. 'Pyrameix cardui, Linn. Common at Spring Lake in July. Limenitis Wvidenteyerii, Edw. Tolerably common in Summit Canon during August. PUTNAM ON UTAH INSECTS. 1 9 7

Limenitix nusxipus, Fabr. A few specimens o f this species were seen at Spring Lake during September, but none were collected.

Satyrus charon, Edw. One specimen from the summit o f a bare rocky point at the head of Summit Canon, August 19th. Therlia chrysalis, Edw. One specimen only o f this pretty species was taken in Summit Canon, August 8th.

('hrysophauus virgi nensix, Edw. One specimen taken in Summit Canon, August 21st.

dhryxophauns hclloidis, Boisd. Not uncommon in Summit Canon and on the surrounding moun­ tains.

f'hrymphanux sirens, Edw. Found also in Summit Canon and on the surrounding mountains.

Lycima heterouea, Boisd Quite common among flowers in Summit Canon. The females o f this species and the above species o f Chrysophunas all look very much alike.

Lycaam Phcres, Boisd. One specimen was taken in Summit Canon.

Lyemna exilis, Boisd. I found this very pretty little species quite common among the salt weeds grow ing along the shores o f Utah Lake, in September.

(ro/iiloha tityrns, Fabr. Common in the flower garden at Spring Lake Villa. Pyrgus tessellata, Scud. Very common in Summit Canon, flying swiftly up and down the road close to the ground and very difficult to capture.

Pam phila sp ? Tw o specimens collected in Summit Canon in August, where it is quite common.

H e t e k o c e r a .

Deiliphila lineata, Fabr. Common in the flower garden at Spring Lake V illa in September. Euilryas uni», Hubner. A single specimen was taken at Spring Lake Villa in July, 1 9 S DAVENPORT ACADEMY OK NATURAL SCIENCES.

Gnophaela vermiculata, Grote. Remarkably abundant in Summit Canon, at, from 7000 to 9000 feet altitude, during the first two weeks in August. The little brooks were in places almost dammed up with the dead bodies which had fallen in. They seemed to prefer flowers of a yellow color, but were found on almost everything. Great numbers were in m i to. In the cool o f the evening and early morning they were generally rather sluggish and hung heavily to the plant on which they rest­ ed. In the heat o f the day they were more active and would fly readily. Thousands of specimens might easily have been gath­ ered in a few hours. One or two specimens were collected at Spring Lake V illa at the base o f the mountains and one was brought to me from Utah Lake— ten miles distant. The first spe­ cimen was collected July 27th in Summit Canon. This species, which I have also found plentiful at Empire City, Colorado, is very uniform in its variations. In a considerable number of spe­ cimens from both localities the two white patches are connected ' behind the base o f the third median nervule, while in other speci­ mens this dividing black band is quite broad and has the edges , t smooth; and there is nearly every degree of blackness between. All of my specimens without exception have the ground color of the wings greenish, and not yellowish white. They vary in size, without regard to sex from 1.6 inches to 2.2 inches expanse of wings. I have noticed no other important variation.

Pseudohmies eglanterina, Boisd. One female was taken at our camp in Summit Canon at 8,000 feet on ' August 7th. On August 9th I found it quite abundant and active, on the very summit o f a high rocky point at the head o f Summit Canon and about three miles northeast of Mount Nebo. This point, which is not less than 10,500 feet above the sea, formed a congre-^ gating place for large numbers of Lepidoptera of various species — Parnassius, Pierix, Argynnis, Melitmi, Satyr ux, Lynma, Pseudo- hazies, etc. I several times noticed this species on other high points in the vicinity, but never a» a lower altitude. A t Spring Lake I several times saw a , always flying over the house, very much resembling this species but white instead o f yellow . It is probably the same species which I took in August, 1873, on the Yellowstone River—probably Pxeadohuzicspica, Walk.

Clixiocanrpa xylvatim, Harr. one specimen probably of this species was taken at Spring Lake Villa. July. Catorala fauxtina, Strecker. A number of specimens were seen at Spring Lake in September, and also among the oak brush in the lower part o f Summit Canon. But one specimen was collected. r i ’T N AM OK UTAH INSECTS. 1 9 9

The Agrions are not given, as my old friend Selys Longchamps is just publishing a work upon them, and I would not interfere with his nomenclature. M y types are all in his hands, so l can not give you the names for ISTos. 10-13. The two last belong to the subgenus Isli me ro.

“ Am ong your species these are new to the fauna o f Utah :

1. SEschna constricta. 0 vEschna californicn. 3. Plathemis subornata. 4. Libellula forensis. 5. Libellula saturata. 6. Libellula composita. Mesothemis collocata. 8. Diplax fiavibasis. y, to. Probably Agrion, 10,12. it. Hexagonia bilineata. 12. Stenophylax.

“ But most of them (1, 4, o, 0, 7,) I have from the Yellowstone,— the others from California. MJschnu ca lif arnica, formerly only from the far west, gives this the most eastern locality. L. composita is only the se<- ond specimen I have seen; the male would be very important. D.fxtci- basis I possessed for twenty years in specimens from California, but so bad jthat I did not describe them. In the meantime I have received this species by three collectors. The StmopJiglo.r is perhaps a different species, but very near to gilvipr*. The only specimen is not fit for description. You see your kind remittance contains important add* tions and I am very obliged to you. ” H . A. H a g e n . * r
