1 The basis for selection ofthe data included in this publication was as follows: a) New information on range and new occurrence localities; b) Valuable data on flight period, broods and population monitoring, and c) Life history data including foodplants, nectar sources, larval description and habits, ovipositing data and behaviour, pupal description and siting, adult habits, predation, etc.

Occasional Publication #'s 10 through 30 are designed to complement each other in such a way as to present in a common format all the information (as selected) known to the compiler with respect to Ontario Lepidoptera to the end of 1997. Please note that Section 3 in each ofthese publications addresses the corrections required to previous T.E.A. Occasional Publications.

Section 6 ofthis publication is organised in accordance with "A Catalogue/Check-list ofthe Butterflies of North ofMexico" by Lee D. Miller and F.M. Brown (Lepidopterists' Society Memoir No. 2 - 1981) as corrected by "Supplement to A Catalogue/Checklist of the Butterflies of North America North of Mexico" by Clifford D. Ferris, Editor (Lepidopterists' Society Memoir No.3 - 1989). The compiler has also noted, where of interest, the usage of James A. Scott in his "The Butterflies ofNorth America" (1986). In addition, recent information on a number of in "Butterflies of Canada" by Ross Layberry, Peter Hall and Donald Lafontaine (1998) has necessitated some changes or additions to the nomenclature. These are noted in the listings. The common names are as per Alexander B. Klots - "A Field Guide to the Butterflies ofNorth America, East ofthe Great Plains", except in a few cases not included in Klots. For the Moths, "Check List ofthe Lepidoptera ofAmerica North ofMexico (1983)" by Ronald W. Hodges et al is used. The contents of this publication have been checked for errors and accuracy as much as possible. Any errors and omissions will be corrected in future publications.

Each locality listed herein is followed by a number in square brackets. This number is the County, District or Regional Municipality as shown in Figures 1 & 2, e.g. Hearst [53] means Hearst (Cochrane District).

Note: Ross Layberry of Ottawa has pointed out that the changes to county names that were made in publication # 25-93 (1992 Summary) and later created difficulty with records in his area since Leeds! Grenville and StormontiDundas!Glengarry are large areas which do not allow proper placement of the records. Accordingly, in this publication, the aforementioned counties will be represented with their original numbering, namely Leeds [27], Grenville [28], Stormont [29], Dundas [30] and Glengarry [31]. Note that these italicised numbers correspond wjth the maps found in the Ontario Atlas.

Where the date given is followed by a number in brackets, this represents the number of specimens encountered, i.e. (3). Also note that M = male, F = female, C = collected, R = released and S = sighting.

Ifthere are any errors and/or omissions or suggestions please advise: Alan 1. Hanks, 34 Seaton Drive, Aurora, Ontario L4G 2K1 - (905) 727-6993

2 2. 1997 WEATHER

[Data on the weather seemed difficult to obtain, after numerous sources were tried. Hopefully it will get back on track for 1998 - Ed.]. In most areas, there was a cool spring, leading to later appearances for many species. ********************

3. CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS T.E.A. PUBLICATIONS.

In the Ontario Butterfly Atlas (Holmes, A.M., Hess, Q.F., Tasker, R.R. & Hanks, A.J. - 1991): Page 161 lists two specimens of the Zabulon Skipper [Poanes zabulon (Boisd.)] as being recorded in Ontario. The first record from Kettle Point (Lambton County) on June 7, 1987 has been shown in all probability to be Poanes hobomok and should be discounted as P. zabulon.

In Occasional Publication # 29-97 (1996 Summary): All the Algonquin Park records followed by (AC) under observers (AC = Algonquin Count) only repre­ sent those butterflies recorded by one set of observers and do not represent count totals. These may be found in Ontario , Vol. 2, No.2.

Listings for the following species at Kemptville [27](2 km NE of) should be corrected to Kemptville [27](1 km NE of): Erynnis icelus~ Carterocephalus palaemon~ Glaucopsyche lygdamus~ Charidryas gorgone~ Basilarchia archippus and Coenonympha inornata.

Page 17 - In the General Summary (section 5), it was reported in para. 5 that 16 species new to Lennox and Addington County were recorded. One of our members reports that only one of these (Polites origenes) is new~ all the others having previous records in TEA Summaries Page 19 - The record listed as Epargyreus clarus - Manitoulin Is. (Misery Bay) June 21 (2) should be changed to Thorybes pylades (Error in entry). Page 28 - The record or the Pipevine Swallowtail at Wheatley Harbour is not a record late date. The 1973 Summary has a date ofOctober 15th recorded, and this is the latest date so far. Page 29 - The record listed for Papilio glaucus glaucus - Manitoulin Is. (Misery Bay) June 21 (40) should be changed to P.g. canadensis (Error in entry). Page 34 - The Matheson record for the Harvester is the second. See TEA Summary for 1993. Page 40 - Under Plebejus saepiolus: Algonquin PP [47] July 6 (1 - 2nd Park record?)(AC) should read: Algonquin PP [47] July 6 (1 - 5th Park record and first since 1956)(MNP). Page 45 - Under Phyciodes tharos: the record for form tharos from Algonquin Park (line 4) should be under form selenis. Form tharos is unrecorded from the Park Page 68 - The record listed as 8805 Catocala unijuga is actually 8822 Catocala meskei. Page 88 - The record listed as 6240 Euthyatira pudens, listed as "27 JPC 9606, 07" should read "27 JPC 9605 (2)". ********************

5 4. SPECIAL NOTES 4.1 Identification and distribution ofOntario Crescent butterflies (Phyciodes sp..) by Paul M. Catling

Scott's (1994) recent work suggests that four or five crescents may occur in Ontario. There is still a lot ofwork to do before the patterns ofvariation are adequately understood, but the following may help to involve more people in contributing to a better understanding of the group and may also allow for a more accurate reporting ofobservations. Female Crescents are very similar, and most people can only identify the males. Research currently underway may enable more certain identification offemales. Only the males are keyed here. Males have a thin abdomen terminating as an even brush in lateral view, whereas females have a thick abdomen terminating in an inverted step extending further back on the upper side than on the lower side in lateral view. The even "brush" on the males conceals the male genitalia which includes a pair ofclasping hooks (see Scott pp. 34-35, Fig. 71, 227, 228, 229).

The colour ofthe unscaled portion ofthe antennal club, called the nudum, is an important character. It is most extensive on the lower side of the club away from the wing where it extends from 1/3 of the distance from the base to the tip and has a central dark line parallel to the antennal shaft. This line is often slightly raised or fonns a definite ridge, especially on dried antennae. It divides the segments which are darkest on their exposed edges (the lattice) and lighter inwardly (the step). The nudum wraps around onto the distal 1/3 ofthe tip on the upper side opposite the wing. This smaller portion may be referred to as the upper portion ofthe nudum. It is often collapsed in dried antennae forming a depression.

In older or worn individuals, the antennal club may have lost its scales and may be pale yellow beneath the scales (in P. tharos). Thus old individuals with darker brown or black nuda are sometimes mistakenly assumed to have yellow clubs. The upper portion of the nudum may be lighter, especially basally, and is sometimes yellowish or orange on the steps, while the remainder is black or blackish-brown. The judgement of nudum colour should emphasize the extensive portion divided by the dark ridge. The shape of the antennal club may be misinterpreted if it is flattened from a particular viewpoint. The viewpoint from which the club is widest is the one that should be used in assessing its shape. The antennal club characters may seem rather technical, but they are not difficult to apply, and are evidently the most reliable distinguishing characters. Once antennal characters have been employed to distinguish individuals, other less quantifiable differences become apparent, and it is possible to identify specimens without close examination ofantennae, even when they are flying.

Ontario males may be identified as follows (the key is intended as an aid to identification using illustrations and notes in Opler & Malikul (1992) and Scott (1986):

1a. Unscaled portion of antennal clubs pale brown, orange or yellow; antennal club fusifonn; upper hw lacking postmedian-submarginal line in several cells ... 2

2a. Fw 16-19 mm from base to apex; nuda orange or yellow .... P. cocyta (larger race) 2b. Fw 13-16 mm from base to apex; nuda brown or yellowish-brown .... P. cocyta (smaller race)

lb. Unscaled portion of antennal clubs dark brown or black; antennal club more or less turbinate or at least more broadly rounded; upper hw with or without complete postmedian-submarginal line ... 3

6 3a. Underside offw with relatively small black postmedian spot on inner margin (mostly smaller or equal to costal black area at apex offw); fw as light as hw above .... P. tharos sp.. tharos 3b. Underside of fw with large black postmedian spot 'on inner margin (larger than costal black area at apex offw); fw dark above compared to hindwing ... 4

4a. Large brown marginal patch on underside ofhindwing .... P. batesii ssp. lakota 4b. Brown marginal patch on hindwing absent or pale and small ..... P. batesii ssp. batesii

1. P. batesii ssp. batesii (Reakirt), DARK CRESCENT The two ssp. ofbates;; differ from the other Ontario Crescents in having the median black spot on the under fw large instead of relatively small and the black subapical costal patch small instead oflarge. Furthermore the upper fw ofmales is relatively dark but with a relatively pale median band. The brown marginal patch on the underside of the hw, that serves to distinguish ssp. lakota, becomes more frequent westward clinally (Scott 1994). Some Ottawa valley populations are more like ssp. lakota while others appear clearly referable to ssp. bates;;. Interestingly ssp. bates;; is reported to have declined throughout much of the eastern portion of its range (southern Appalachians to eastern Ontario and ) excepting southern Canada. Ontario may now be the centre ofabundance. It has not been observed recently in State where the last known population died out in 1990. The Dark Crescent flies in mid-June in dry, open scrubby areas and has one brood.

2. P. batesii ssp. lakota Scott, LAKOTA CRESCENT This ssp. occurs from central and northern Ontario (to 53° N) westward (Scott 1994). It occurs in dry, open areas and flies from June to early July. The infraspecific assignment of P. bates;; from the western part ofsouthern Ontario is under study.

3. P. cocyta (Cramer) (multiple broods), NORTHERN CRESCENT (= P. morpheus, P. pascoensis, P. selenis ofrecent authors) In the eastern part of southern Ontario and northern New York, individuals referable to P. cocyta fly at different times and differ consistently in size, colour and pattern. This variation appears to represent two races, as yet poorly defined (see key): (1) larger individuals that appear mostly in mid-June (to some extent again in August) and occur in a variety ofhabitats, including particularly swamps, moist meadows and woodland edges; (2) smaller individuals that appear early June, mid- to late July and late August to early September, and occur in drier, more open habitats, including abandoned marginal farmland. The former race is apparently widespread throughout much of Ontario. Males of this race are additionally characterized by the most extensive (unbroken) orange areas on upper wings. The smaller race occurs at least in southern Ontario and northern New York and it is characteristic ofdrier sites than the following, including particularly abandoned marginal farmland. Its distribution and taxonomic status are unclear. The smaller race combines characters ofthe larger race ofP. cocyta and P. tharos (overall size, nuda colour, extent ofunbroken orange upper wings and colour ofcrescent patch), but appears to resemble P. cocyta more closely. The smaller race closely resembles what has been referred to as the "orange-antenna variety" ofP. tharos tharos (Scott 1994, p. 31). Specifically it has similar antenna colour and shape, differing primarily in the less broken central orange areas on the upper central fw (see also below).

4. P. tharos ssp. tharos, PEARL CRESCENT ("black antenna variety") There is usually a largely complete black line dividing the orange postmedian-submarginal upper hw (well illustrated in Scott 1986 and Opler & Malikul 1992). The crescent patch is usually very dark

7 brown instead oflight or tan brown as in P. cocyta. Additionally Pearl Crescents with black antenna clubs have distinctly more broadly clubbed antennae than P. cocyta. The eastern race has black nuda, whereas the western race has the underside of the antenna yellow and its shape is more elliptic. This western "orange-antenna variety" ofP. tharos tharos may consequently be better placed with P. cocyta (see also above). It may occur in northern Ontario near to the border (Rainy River, Lake ofthe Woods). There are evidently three broods ofthe "black antenna variety" beginning in mid-May. It occurs in southern Ontario north to Peterborough and Ottawa (Crolla 1996, Catling 1997). This is our smallest crescent, the males usually having a fw less than 16 mm from base to apex. If the black-antenna variety and the orange-antenna variety are to be separated with different names, then the name "tharos" may have to be applied to the orange-antenna variety since the illustration has the unscaled portion of the antennal clubs yellow. The black-antenna variety would then require a another name and may be correctly referable to ssp. distincta. A forthcoming issue ofjournal "Papilio" will probably resolve this problem.

4.2 List of Butterflies Seen in the Toronto Area & General Status Report by Barry Harrison (with some additions by Joseph Jones)

For the past seventeen years, I have been monitoring the butterflies in the general area ofToronto. There have been a number of changes, partly due to habitat destruction and partly due to spraying for weeds. Toronto has been blessed with a network ofriver valleys which have had a decisive impact on the preservation of certain species which may otherwise have disappeared. The addition ofthe Leslie Street Spit with its strategic waterfront position has added to the butterfly population, both residential and migratory. In this general area between the Rouge River and High Park, I also include Ajax, as it still sustains a few species which collectively have been extirpated from the central core area.

A few sedge skippers such as Poanes viator and Euphyes bimacula were formerly reported in the seventies from the Don Valley. I have found no sign of these, and Euphyes dion, which was still represented, has become rare or endangered in the Don marshes. The main Don sedge marsh now seems to have more Loosestrife and bushes, and much less sedge overall, which may well be a factor. Milbert's Tortoiseshell, Aglais milberti, which I used to see fairly often, has been missing from my observations since 1968. However, it has been reliably reported here at least three times by others in recent years. This

8 area appears to be a blend zone for the Basilarchia group, with form arthemis predominating but with form astyanax represented, together with various forms ofhybrid.

4.3 The Bog Elfin (Callophrys lanoraieensis) in Ontario by P.M. Catling, R.A. Layberry, J.P. Crolla, J.D. Lafontaine

The Bog Elfin (Cal/ophrys lanoraieensis) has a very restricted total range extending from and southern to coastal and eastern with isolated occurrences further to the west in southern Quebec, eastern Ontario and eastern New York (Opler & Malikul 1992, Scott 1986). Its status in Ontario was indicated as "not yet determined" in the Ontario Butterfly Atlas (Holmes et al. 1991). Recent discoveries have raised questions about the history of its distribution and occurrence in the province. Bog Elfins were first discovered in Ontario on 22 May 1982 when seven were seen during a 35 man-hour search in Alfred Bog (44°30'OO"N, 74°49'OO"W), 8 km SE of Alfred (Layberry et al. 1983, Hess 1984, see also Cuddy 1983). The search was initiated by Don Lafontaine and Jim Troubridge. The party also included Henri Goulet, Ian Jones and Ross Layberry. Henri Goulet netted the first specimen and 7 were captured and closely examined. The species was seen again in Alfred Bog on several occasions (Hall 1983, Hall et al. 1984), although not consistently (Hall 1987). Layberry recorded it there on 29 May 1983. On 27 May 1986, no Bog Elfins could be found in Alfred Bog, but other expected

10 species of butterflies were present. It was reported in annual summaries of the Toronto Entomologists' Association as seen in Alfred Bog on 19 May 1991 (group led by Layberry including Sid Daniels, Kirk Zufelt and Bob Curry, see Layberry 1992 and Hanks and Hess 1992) and 5 June 1994 (Jeff Crolla, Ross Layberry and Tim Sabo, see Hanks 1995). The habitat in Alfred Bog included wet pathways and wet openings in spruce-tamarack woods. On 19 May 1991 it was abundant and many were seen along the Horse Creek Drain survey line through Black Spruce forest that provides access to the sedge lenses where the butterflies are usually found (Hanks & Hess 1992). The butterflies have been most often observed perching on low spruce and Mountain Holly, and two were seen nectaring on Bog Laurel ( polifolia). Figure 1 shows the general locations in Ontario. This first discovery ofBog Elfins in Ontario was a significant westward extension of the known range. It was 130 km WSW of the type locality at Lanoraie, Quebec. Another equally significant discovery occurred on 9 May 1986 when a colony was discovered in Cicero Swamp State Wildlife Management Area near Syracuse in Onondaga Co., New York. This was the first New York State record (Miller 1995).

11 Attempts to locate this butterfly in Mer Bleue Bog near Ottawa, another large bog further to the west in eastern Ontario, have so far been unsuccessful (JPC pers. obs., see also Hall 1983, Hall et al. 1984). The absence of any new discoveries in Ontario over a period of 14 years made it seem unlikely that any more colonies would be found, but on 19 May 1996 Catling observed 10 Bog Elfins on the west side of Newington Bog ( 45°06'50"N, 74°59'00"W), an extensive peatland 45.6 km SSW ofthe Alfred Bog site (Layberry 1997). The butterflies were flying around Black Spruce (), and alighting on spruce branches 7-20' above the ground in mixed spruce (5-20' tall) and low heath (less than 1 m high). It is estimated that at least 10 were seen in an area of a few acres, but they were generally difficult to observe. One was also seen in an open cut area within taller closed spruce forest (30-40' tall) about 100 m to the west. The Brown Elfin (C augustinus) was also present, but unlike the Bog Elfin it flew less than 1.5 m above the heath which was mostly Leather-leaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata) and which was flowering at the time. Bog Elfins were exclusively associated with the spruce and were not observed on the heath at this location. On 28 May 1996, Crolla and Lafontaine found a Bog Elfin on the outskirts of Newington Bog (Layberry 1997), approximately 1 km southwest of the site found by Catling. Interestingly, the situation here was one that could be readily matched in many parts of eastern Ontario. The butterfly was found in an area of closed canopy Black Spruce-Tamarack (Larix laricina) forest within Red () forest, bordered to the north by an alder- thicket. The spruce forest was very dense but there were small sunlit openings with shorter (2 - 4 m) spruce trees and Mountain Holly (Nemopanthus mucronatus) shrubs. A single Bog Elfin was collected at midday on the north edge of the spruce­ tamarack forest where it abruptly gave way to Red Maple forest (the understory opened up considerably along the edge ofthe spruce). It flew down from the surrounding 30-40' tall spruce (probably in search of nectar sources), perching about 2 m above the ground on leaves ofMountain Holly in a small sunlit area. On 27 May 1997 Catling and Layberry visited Newington Bog and observed Bog Elfins along the railway bed only a few steps from the car. Here the old railway is surrounded by alder and heath beyond which is closed spruce forest 10-20 m tall. One butterfly landed on the railway bed, but most were seen around young spruce trees 3-6 m tall on the edge ofthe open bog. The occurrence of the Bog Elfin in Newington Bog might have been predicted on the basis of both its nearness and its floristic similarity to Alfred Bog, including shared eastern elements such as Rhodora () and Atlantic Sedge ( atlantica ssp. capi//acea). Both ofthese plants are characteristic of the Quebec and New England bogs where lanoraieensis is found. Notably, neither ofthese plants has been found in Mer Bleue Bog. Inspired by the increasing evidence for a less exacting habitat than was previously conceived, Catling and Layberry surveyed Black River Bog on 27 May 1997 and observed approx. 10 Bog Elfins. This bog (45°04'00" N, 74°52'40" W) is in a wetland 9.1 km SE of the Newington location, and 4 km NNE ofLong Sault. The first Bog Elfin was seen in a small opening in the dense spruce woods and was perching on spruce branches 4 m above ground. Most of the Bog Elfins were located along in a wide hydro line on spruce and on shrubs of Leather-leaf Brown Elfins (C augustinus) were much more common on the low shrubs in the open area. Henry's Elfin (C henrici) was seen in the surrounding Red Maple woods and one Pine Elfin (C niphon) was found on the low heath. This must be one of the few locations in Ontario where four elfins have been found together. On 31 May 1997, Ross Layberry, Nancy and Michael Van der Poorten saw a few Bog Elfins at Newington Bog and one at Black River Bog. The recent discoveries suggest that more remains to be done to accurately determine the range of the Bog Elfin at its western limit. However, based on habitat availability, a limited total range, and correlation with eastern bog elements, the status may well be"S1", making the Bog Elfin one of Ontario's rarest butterflies.

12 It should be searched for in areas ofBlack Spruce forest in bogs and other habitats, particularly in eastern Ontario. The small size and canopy dwelling habits ofthe Bog Elfin may make the species easily overlooked, like the Early Hairstreak (Erora laeta). Even at known localities, a concerted effort is usually required to locate these elfins. They are apparently most often seen in openings and at the edges ofBlack Spruce forest, where they may be found perching on smaller spruce trees and associated shrubs such as Mountain Holly. Particular attention should be paid to any available nectar sources, including Leatherleaf, Blueberry, and Bog Laurel, all of which are known to attract species of Elfins. Most of the observations on lower vegetation have been made between mid-morning and noon, but the sample is relatively small. There is a possibility of association with other species of Spruce based on forest survey data (McGugan 1958) which allude to use of White Spruce and Red Spruce as larval hosts in the Maritimes. This possibility deserves some exploration, but it should be noted that this host data was not collected in a sufficiently conscientious manner to enable its acceptance without question. Sampling errors are possible since shaking and beating of trees sometimes dislodges species on adjacent trees that are not recorded as sampled. Furthermore the identification ofspruces requires qualitative assessment and experience, quite unlike the identification of other conifers. Experience varied within the large group involved in data collection. Furthermore there is no indication that the larvae were reared on the reported White and Red Spruce hosts. The flight period based on all available Ontario records extends from 19 May to 4 June, with most late May and June specimens being worn. Since 10 were seen on 19 May 1996 at Newington Bog and 20 were seen on 19 May 1991 at Alfred Bog (Hanks & Hess 1992), the flight period probably begins earlier in May with 19-22 May being the early peak. Specimens from Alfred Bog, Newington Bog and Black Creek Bog are preserved in the Canadian National Collection at Agriculture Canada (CNC). The most accessible location is the Newington Bog site which is accessed from an abandoned railway. The Black Creek colony is on private land accessible only with permission ofthe landowner. The Alfred Bog location requires a strenuous hike ofat least 2 km from the nearest road.

4.5 Rearing Notes from Northumberland County by W.lD. Eberlie a) Celastrina sp: Following my rearing of Celastrina larvae last year (1996), I have to report that all the pupae from larvae feeding on Tea died during the winter, apart ofcourse from the one that emerged as an adult in August of 1996. However, all except one of the pupae from larvae feeding on Meadow Sweet, including those parasitized, survived the winter and seven adult butterflies emerged between April 7 and 16. These Celastrina were typical ofC. ladon in appearance. The parasites emerged too and turned out to be minute wasps. This year, I could not find any Celastrina larvae on Meadow Sweet and again saw no adults in the area where the Meadow Sweet grows, but I did find one adult C. neglecta in Port Hope on July 28th. Also, I found two Celastrina (presumably ladon) larvae on Choke Cherry blossoms on June 15th and these successfully pupated and hopefully will survive the winter.

Also, last year I had accidentally acquired four Geometrid larvae of three different species when collecting Meadow Sweet blossoms for the Celastrina larvae to feed on. The fourth larva was quite pretty as it had four silvery chevrons on each side ofits body, survived the winter as a pupa and emerged as also quite a pretty adult moth. It was easily identified as the Scallop Moth, Cepphis armataria, which Covell in his "Field Guide to North American Moths" states is "uncommon".

b) Cycnia tenera - the Delicate Cycnia: This is a member of the Tiger Moth family, the Arctiidae, and they are pretty robust moths, but this one is rightly called the Delicate Cycnia as it is indeed a somewhat frail insect. However, like most Tiger Moths, it proved easy to rear. On July 12, 1996, in Northumberland Forest, I found a mating pair on a milkweed plant. This is always a happy occasion for successful rearing because one can be pretty certain that the female's eggs will be fertile. The female was kept in a container with milkweed leaves and she laid a large group ofova on the lid ofthe container, not on the leaves. In my experience, most moths will lay eggs anywhere but on the foodplant, usually on the sides ofthe container. Each larval instar turned out to be remarkably different in appearance, the second instar being pale green with very fine hairs and practically transparent - very difficult to see. The final instar appeared to be short and stumpy with long grey hairs, making it look like a piece ofrabbit fur stuck on a leaf The cocoons were very similar, being covered with fine grey hairs. They overwintered successfully and emerged as adults on April 29th and May 2nd 1997. Ofcourse, this was much earlier than natural occurrence as they were reared indoors.

15 c) - The Primrose Moth: I had seldom seen this pretty little noctuid moth until this year in July when I found it quite commonly in one of the ravines in the middle of the town of Port Hope. I also found it in other parts of Northumberland County and on August 2nd I collected a male and female resting on flowers ofEvening Primrose in Haldimand Township. I presumed, hopefully, that they had mated and therefore kept the female in a container with stems of Evening Primrose flowers, whereupon she soon laid scattered eggs, mainly on the calyces ofthe flowers. The larvae, which were an almost transparent pale brown at first, fed only on the flowers, the tubular calyces and the seed pods ofthe plant, not on the leaves. The final instar larvae were green, exactly corresponding in colour to the green of the seedpods, but with a few pinkish streaks in the thoracic area. They looked just like the seedpod of the foodplant and thus, knowing what they looked like, I was able to find some more larvae in the wild. They all pupated in the soil in the third week ofAugust and are hibernating as pupae.

4.6 Catocala gracilis Grote (Graceful Underwing): New to Ontario by Bill Lamond

On 31 July 1997, I collected 2 small Catocala sp. in my light trap of uncertain identification. These individuals were collected in a large forested area about 1.5 km south of Glen Morris, Brant County, Ontario. I initially thought they might be Catocala sordida (Sordid Underwing), but upon checking with Covell (1984) I suspected they might be C. gracilis (Graceful Underwing), a species that had not been recorded in Ontario (Rockburne and Lafontaine 1976, Riotte 1992). I collec­ ted single specimens at the exact same location on 2 and 9 August. All four of the specimens were very similar in appearance. The identity of the specimens as C. gracilis was confirmed by Don Lafontaine of Agri­ culture Canada and a specimen was deposited at the CNC at Ottawa.

This species had been reported to occur in Canada in Nova Scotia and Manitoba (Covell 1984), however these references are incorrect (pers. comm. lD. Lafontaine). Prior to the Brant County collections, this species had not been recorded in Ontario, although it had previously been collected in southern Quebec (pers. comm. lD. Lafontaine).

Catocala gracilis is a blueberry feeder, including Vaccinum corymbosum (Highbush Blueberry) (Rings et al. 1992), which was present at this site, although the closest plants were at least 75-100m from where the Catocala were collected.

Catoca/a gracilis - Brant County I July 1997.

16 This species should occur at other sites in southern Ontario, especially in shrub swamps with hummocks ofHighbush Blueberry. I would like to thank Don Lafontaine for confirming the identity ofthe specimen.

4.7 Psaphida grandis Sm. (Gray Sallow): New to Ontario and Canada by Bill Lamond

On the morning of April 6 1997, I was checking my light trap at the Brant County Forest, approximately 1.5 km south of Glen Morris, Brant Co., Ontario. I collected 4 moths of a well-marked noctuid species with which I was unfamiliar. Upon checking Covell (1984) I tentatively identified them as Psaphida grandis Sm. (Gray Sallow) based on the photograph and description of the moth in Covell. However, I then began to doubt this identification when it became apparent from Riotte (1992) and Rockburne & Lafontaine (1976) that this species had not been recorded for Ontario. It seemed unlikely that the first collection of a resident population of Psaphida grandis would be this far north. It seemed much more likely that if this species was resident in the province, that it would be collected regularly in the southern counties bordering Lake Erie. I then checked the species range in Ohio (Rings et al. 1994) and discovered that it occurs commonly north to Lake Erie. From this it seemed likely that this species should occur in Ontario but had probably been over-looked due to its early flight season. With further study of the specimens it became apparent that they were Psaphida grandis and this was confirmed by Don Lafontaine of Agriculture Canada (Ottawa). On 15 and 22 April 1997 I again collected single specimens of Psaphida grandis at the Grand River Psaphida grandis - Brant County. April 1997 Fen about 11 km due south ofthe above location.

17 This suggests that this species probably has a much more extensive range in Ontario.

Thanks to Don Lafontaine of Agriculture Canada (Ottawa) for confirming the identity ofthe specimens. A specimen ofthis species has been deposited at the CNC collection.

4.8 Butterflies ofAlgonquin Park by Colin D. Jones

Over the past few years, I have spent many hours compiling all of the butterfly records for Algonquin Park that we are currently aware of - from our first known records (paul Hahn from 1903 ­ 1904) to the present. In the process of compiling these records, I have established a fairly large database for the Park, including early and late flight dates for most of the common and uncommon species. This information will eventually be used to republish "A Checklist of the Butterflies of Algonquin Provincial Park" which will include bar graphs indicating flight periods. The records since 1994 are the first rigorous records kept on Park butterflies since John Reynolds was working as a seasonal Park Naturalist in Algonquin in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The records listed below cover the period 1995 - 1997 and only include those records ofsome significance or interest, as many records are repeated from year to year for many ofour commoner butterfly species.

4.7 The 500th Noctuid by Ken Stead

The Pinery Provincial Park and the IpperwashIPort Franks wetlands and dune complex encom­ passes an area of approximately 10 000 acres on the shore of lake Huron. The richness and diversity of the flora and habitat is reflected in the insect fauna. Various microhabitats such as dry ridges and beach-barrier dune systems are large and relatively undisturbed and have provided appropriate conditions for the life cycle of many insects. Human interference will continue to aid in the deterioration of the overall area such as increased "developments" with their "lawn" mentality and the devastating effect that deer-browsing has imposed on the area. Several species have already disappeared to the best of our knowledge. The Karner Blue Butterfly (L. melissa samue/is) was last seen in 1989-1990; Acronicta a/barufa was last seen by Dale Schweitzer in 1984 and aweme was last seen in 1936. In spite ofthose losses, the list oflepidoptera in the area continues to expand as more are identified. Noctuids, the most studied group of moths, went over the 500 mark this summer with the identification of Laciopolia te/igera (Morrison) and the current list contains 512 identified species. To put this into perspective, the State of produced a book last year listing all species known for the state, including historical records. The result was also 512 species. Dr. Don Lafontaine's records show that as of 1994, an area with a 50 km radius from the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, one of the nation's best studied areas, contained 542 species ofNoctuids, while the excellent publication on the Owlet Moths of Ohio lists 708 known species. Many unusual and disjunct species are present, as well as those normally seen in southern Ontario and many migrants. Some of the local species that an be found with regularity include Onconemsis riparia and Iodopep/a u-a/bum, which are beach-dune habitat species. Chaetag/ea tremu/a, which feeds on small and Schinia sanguinea [=gloriosa] which feeds on Liatris are found in the oak savannahs. Other species with only single records that hint at their status include Schinia thoreaui feeding on Giant Ragweed, Papaipema cerussata feeding on Ironweed, apamiformis feeding on Wild Rice and Cobubatha dividua which is known from southern but is a Scrub Oak feeder and may not be a migrant. While conservation efforts continue on several fronts to preserve and maintain what is left of this area, it is vulnerable to major changes and loss of habitat. Stronger public knowledge and the will to preserve for future generations is needed to guarantee the conservation ofthis and other special places!

21 4.8 Occurrences ofNoctua pronuba by Barry Harrison

This moth has been reported in the summary on a few occasions since its introduction in Halifax in 1979. The few Ontario dates are from 1992, but it is probable that it should be seen fairly regularly in the commg years. My experience with Noctua pronuba is that I have disturbed it from low in nearby bushes by our back lawn three times in the past two years. Each time I was using a lawnmower and each time it only flew a short distance away. The dates involved were June 23rd, 1996 and June 26th & July 13th, 1997. The specimen from the first observation was photographed.

4.9 Observations on lepidoptera predation by Tim Sabo

While photographing butterflies, I routinely make note of their predators as well. I have often observed crab spiders clutching butterflies that are the typical size prey (European Skipper, Alfalfa Butterfly, Orange Crescent and Ringlet) although I had never seen a crab spider seize a butterfly. I assumed that the prey is ambushed while perched and subdued before it can escape. On two occasions, both in 1996, I observed large dragonflies taking sizeable butterflies:

- west of Nellie Lake (Cochrane District) a large dragonfly chased a Northern Pearly Eye for several meters, hitting it several times before pinning it down and capturing it.

- southwest of Matachewan (Timiskaming) a large Mourning Cloak was deftly snatched in mid-air by a large dragonfly, which stopped nearby.

The following examples detail predators taking lepidoptera many times larger than themselves.

1. Lacewing Larva as Possible Predator

In August, 1995, along the West Beach Trail at Point Pelee Nat. Park, I found a dead Cabbage Butterfly. Despite the breeze, the butterfly remained firmly in place on a plant one meter above the ground. I suspected that it was being held by a crab spider but upon closer inspection found a tiny Lacewing larva with its jaws clamped to the thorax of the butterfly. The larva was t,4 the length of the butterfly body and seemed an unlikely predator. Possible explanations sprang to mind: - are lacewings known to prey on butterflies? - do lacewings possess a venom that would enable them to dispatch larger prey? - was the butterfly on the plant when attacked and quickly dispatched? - was the tiny lacewing carried here from somewhere else before the butterfly succumbed? - did the butterfly die ofnatural causes and the lacewing was scavenging?

22 2. Crab Spider Ambush

In June, 1996, northeast ofKirkfield (Victoria County), I watched a crab spider attack. The spider was concealed in a cluster of vetch flowers and had made several failed attempts to capture skippers. Soon, a large Hummingbird Clearwing appeared on the scene, hovering at the vetch blossoms as it took nectar. I watched with anticipation as the clearwing moved ever closer to where the spider lay in wait. Alert and powerful fliers, clearwings are capable of rapid acceleration and should be able to evade the spider easily. I suspected that the spider would not attempt to capture such large prey and ignore the moth. Even ifthe spider did grab the clearwing, which far out-weighed it, the escape efforts, ofthe moth would wrench the spider from its lair. The outcome was vastly different from what I expected and to my surprise, the spider easily caught the hovering moth, which could not pull away. After a very brief period of frantic wing-beating, the moth became still (see photo). Immobilization was almost instantaneous, attesting to the potency ofthe spiders venom and/or the placement ofthe bite.

23 5. GENERAL SUMMARY OF ONTARIO LEPIDOPTERA IN 1997 - by Alan J. Hanks

One difficulty with the data recorded in recent summaries has now come to light. One of our members has been keeping accurate records of Ontario butterfly species, with earliest and latest appearances noted from previous summaries and counties in which the species are known to occur also tracked. It has become apparent that the TEA is in need of a database which includes this information in order to catch records which are not accurate. Some of the entries in the 1996 summary which were in error have been noted in the corrections (Section 3). An attempt will be made to construct such a database and hopefully make it available to those members requesting it.

Notable in the 1997 summary is the number of special notes - eleven in all. Paul Catling from Ottawa has contributed an article on the identification and distribution ofOntario Crescent butterflies. In this article, differentiation is made between the Pearl Crescent [Phyciodes tharos (Drury)] and the Northern Crescent [Phyciodes cocyta (Cramer)]. These have been listed in previous summaries as forms oftharos. Paul has also, in conjunction with Ross Layberry, JetrCrolla and Don Lafontaine, contributed a piece on the Bog Elfin (Incisalia lanoraiensis Sheppard), with a distribution map.

Bill Lamond has contributions on two species ofmoths new to Ontario - Catocala gracilis Grote and Psaphida grandis J.B. Smith. The latter species is also apparently new to Canada. Barry Harrison has produced a listing ofbutterflies seen in the Toronto area, together with a short status report. Colin Jones has compiled a listing ofthe butterflies ofAlgonquin Park since the first known records in 1903-1904 by Paul Hahn to the present. He has provided a listing covering the·period 1995-1997, with annotations - a valuable record. Dr. John Eberlie continues his rearing notes from Northumberland County and there are several other reports ofinterest from other members.

Bob Bowles, on August 16, 1997, found a new butterfly (number 90) for his Simcoe County list. This was a Hackberry Emperor in the celtis stands along the river in Minesing Swamp. He has made several trips into this area over the last three years looking for this species as well as Tawny Emperor and American Snout but this is the first time that he has had any success.

Although not occurring in 1997, exciting news came regarding the publication of "The Butter­ flies ofCanada" by Ross A. Layberry, Peter W. Hall and J. Donald Lafontaine. I was fortunate in being able to attend the launch ofthe book in Ottawa, together with several other TEA members and it was a notable occasion. The book has included a large number oftaxonomic changes as well as some changes in popular names. Some ofthese have been incorporated into the present summary. The record for Poanes zabulon has been removed as it is now believed to be an aberrant Poanes hobomok. The omission of Ascia monuste has been rectified (Wormington, 1982). The great Grey Copper has now been included as Lycaena dione (Scudder) as Gaeides xanthoides is now thought to be only from the west coast. The Phyciodes tharos complex has now been changed to reflect the inclusion of the Northern Crescent (Phyciodes cocyta). Some common name changes seem odd for Ontario, for example, calling Pyrgus communis the Common Checkered Skipper when it is anything but common in our province. The name for Incisalia niphon has been changed to the Eastern Pine Elfin.

There are many other changes, most of which will no doubt eventually find their way into the TEA Annual Summaries.

55 7. SELECTED REPORTS OF MOTHS IN ONTARIO 1997 - Compiled by Duncan Robertson

The selection comprises all reports received of Saturniidae, , the genera Catocala and Schinia, and a few other (large, odd, or colourful) species; reports ofspecies that have not yet or seldom been reported in these pages; and species for which the report gives evidence ofthe larval foodplant. The species are arranged, numbered and (with the exception of the genus Grammia), named as in as in Ronald W. Hodges et al., Check List ofthe Lepidoptera ofAmerica North ofMexico (1983). Generic and/or specific names in square brackets have superseded the names in Hodges. The names ofspecies not found in Hodges are preceded by a long dash. Changes in higher classifications have been left unacknowledged.

The county or district is indicated by a bold number before the place-names. Reporters are identified by initials. Such initials and other material in square brackets after a place-name or county number apply to all the dates for that place or county, except that initials in round brackets after a date supersede, for that date, preceding initials in square brackets, or, if prefixed by "+", indicate a joint reporter or reporters with those initialized in the square brackets. Some reports for 1996, but not received until 1997, are included. Six-digit numbers indicate the year, month, and day and may be abbreviated to four digits for just the year and month or two digits for just the year. Hypenated date numbers indicate inclusive dates. Four-digit numbers after a semicolon indicate a month and day in the same year; two-digit numbers after a comma indicate a day in the same month.

Other information (in round brackets or square) is abbreviated thus: sev. = several, m = male, f= female, It = incandescent light, uv = ultra-violet light, mv = mercury-vapour light, c = collected, p = photographed, iden. = species identified by, ver. = identity verified by, and colI. = identified by consulting the collection ot). A/ before mv, uv, or It means in combination with the type of light indicated in the preceding square brackets. Bracketed numbers after a date or before bracketed initials indicate the number of specimens reported, "/+" meaning "or more". The absence of a number indicates a report of one specimen, but "1" followed by a comma is used to indicate a specimen to which the information after the comma (including initials prefixed by "+") does not apply. In general, bracketed elements separated by a comma concern different specimens.

71 8. CONCISE CYCLICAL SUMMARY OF REPORTS OF MOTHS IN ONTARIO:

Geometridae 1993 to 1997 (with the some supplementary reports for 1987 to 1992)

Compiled by Duncan Robertson

The remarks introductory to the "Selected Reports of Moths" apply here as well, except so far as the information is here abbreviated. Places are distinguished only by county and dates only by year and month, and information within round brackets is limited to the number of specimens and initials of reporters. After the county number, a four-digit number indicates the year and month (or a two-digit number, the year alone); a two-digit number after that (and after a comma), a subsequent month. A hyphenated four-digit number indicates inclusive years or months, and a hypenated six-digit number indicates inclusive months within a year. Initials before year-dates function somewhat similarly to initials in square brackets in the "Selected Reports": with the exception of dates followed immediately by bracketed initials not preceded by "+", they apply to all dates for the county unless and until different initials supervene before a later year-date.
