Mead (1852-1936) visited central Colorado from June to September 1871 to collect butterflies. Considerable effort has been spent trying to determine the identities of the butterflies he collected for his future father-in-law William Henry Edwards, and where he collected them. Brown (1956) tried to deduce his itinerary based on the specimens and the few letters etc. available to him then. Brown (1964-1987) designated lectotypes and neotypes for the names of the butterflies that William Henry Edwards described, including 24 based on Mead’s specimens. Brown & Brown (1996) published many later-discovered letters written by Mead describing his travels and collections. Calhoun (2013) purchased Mead’s journal and published Mead’s brief journal descriptions of his collecting efforts and his travels by stage and horseback and walking, and Calhoun commented on some of the butterflies he collected (especially lectotypes). Calhoun (2015a) published an abbreviated summary of Mead’s travels using those improved locations from the journal etc., and detailed the type localities of some of the butterflies named from Mead specimens.

  • Book Review, of Systematics of Western North American Butterflies
    (NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) ~19 2008 CORRECTIONS/REVIEWS OF 58 NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLY BOOKS Dr. James A. Scott, 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80226-1254 Abstract. Corrections are given for 58 North American butterfly books. Most of these books are recent. Misidentified figures mostly of adults, erroneous hostplants, and other mistakes are corrected in each book. Suggestions are made to improve future butterfly books. Identifications of figured specimens in Holland's 1931 & 1898 Butterfly Book & 1915 Butterfly Guide are corrected, and their type status clarified, and corrections are made to F. M. Brown's series of papers on Edwards; types (many figured by Holland), because some of Holland's 75 lectotype designations override lectotype specimens that were designated later, and several dozen Holland lectotype designations are added to the J. Pelham Catalogue. Type locality designations are corrected/defined here (some made by Brown, most by others), for numerous names: aenus, artonis, balder, bremnerii, brettoides, brucei (Oeneis), caespitatis, cahmus, callina, carus, colon, colorado, coolinensis, comus, conquista, dacotah, damei, dumeti, edwardsii (Oarisma), elada, epixanthe, eunus, fulvia, furcae, garita, hermodur, kootenai, lagus, mejicanus, mormo, mormonia, nilus, nympha, oreas, oslari, philetas, phylace, pratincola, rhena, saga, scudderi, simius, taxiles, uhleri. Five first reviser actions are made (albihalos=austinorum, davenporti=pratti, latalinea=subaridum, maritima=texana [Cercyonis], ricei=calneva). The name c-argenteum is designated nomen oblitum, faunus a nomen protectum. Three taxa are demonstrated to be invalid nomina nuda (blackmorei, sulfuris, svilhae), and another nomen nudum ( damei) is added to catalogues as a "schizophrenic taxon" in order to preserve stability. Problems caused by old scientific names and the time wasted on them are discussed.

  • Sentinels on the Wing: the Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada
    Sentinels on the Wing The Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada Peter W. Hall Foreword In Canada, our ties to the land are strong and deep. Whether we have viewed the coasts of British Columbia or Cape Breton, experienced the beauty of the Arctic tundra, paddled on rivers through our sweeping boreal forests, heard the wind in the prairies, watched caribou swim the rivers of northern Labrador, or searched for song birds in the hardwood forests of south eastern Canada, we all call Canada our home and native land. Perhaps because Canada’s landscapes are extensive and cover a broad range of diverse natural systems, it is easy for us to assume the health of our important natural spaces and the species they contain. Our country seems so vast compared to the number of Canadians that it is difficult for us to imagine humans could have any lasting effect on nature. Yet emerging science demonstrates that our natural systems and the species they contain are increas- ingly at risk. While the story is by no means complete, key indicator species demonstrate that Canada’s natural legacy is under pressure from a number of sources, such as the conversion of lands for human uses, the release of toxic chemicals, the introduction of new, invasive species or the further spread of natural pests, and a rapidly changing climate. These changes are hitting home and, with the globalization and expansion of human activities, it is clear the pace of change is accelerating. While their flights of fancy may seem insignificant, butterflies are sentinels or early indicators of this change, and can act as important messengers to raise awareness.

  • Exotics As Host Plants of the California Butterfly Fauna

One which has received relatively little attention is by serving as resources for natives, thereby altering their ecology. We address such impacts on the California butterfly fauna as currently understood. Eighty-two of California’s approximately 236 butterfly species (34%) are reported as ovipositing or feeding on introduced plant taxa. Many more utilize introduced plants as nectar sources. Interactions with introduced plant taxa are not distributed evenly among butterfly species. Alpine and desert butterflies interact with relatively few introduced plants because few exotic plant species have reached and successfully colonized these habitats. Other California butterfly species are specialists on particular plant families or genera with no exotic representatives in California and have thus far failed to recognize any introduced plants as potential foodplants. Some California butterflies have expanded their geographic ranges and/or extended their flight sea- sons by feeding on exotic plants. However, negative impacts of exotic plant species can also occur. At least three of the state’s butterfly species currently lay eggs on introduced taxa that are toxic to larvae. Impacts of introduced plant taxa on California’s butterflies are expected to increase as both habitat conversion and alien introductions accelerate. # 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

  • FEMALE COLOR and SEX RATIO in HYBRIDS BETWEEN Papillo GLAUCUS GLAUCUS and P, EURYMEDON, P. RUTULUS, and P, MULTICAUDATUS (PAPILIONIDAE)
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 44(4), 1990, 229-244 FEMALE COLOR AND SEX RATIO IN HYBRIDS BETWEEN PAPILlO GLAUCUS GLAUCUS AND p, EURYMEDON, P. RUTULUS, AND p, MULTICAUDATUS (PAPILIONIDAE) J, MARK SCRIBER,! ROBERT V, DOWELL,2 ROBERT C. LEDER HOUSEl AND ROBERT H, HAGENl 1 Department of Entomology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824 21681 Pebblewood Dr., Sacramento, California 95833 ABSTRACT. Female offspring of black Papilio glaucus glaucus females hand paired to P. eUTymedon, P. TUtulus, or P. multicaudatus males show variable expression of the black phenotype. Hybridization with P. Tutulus yielded black, yellow, and intermediate females, in agreement with previous observations. Hybridization with P. multicaudatus also yielded black and intermediate females, which has not been reported previously. Hybridization with P. eUTymedon yielded only one yellow female. Suppression of the black phenotype in interspecies hybrids is not complete and may not have a simple genetic basis. The sex ratio among progeny of these hybridizations was skewed drastically towards males, with most females dying prior to adult eclosion. This "Haldane effect" appears to be much less severe among progeny of P. glaucus glaucus males paired to P. eUTymedon or P. TUtulus females than in the case of reciprocal pairings using P. g. glaucus females. Additional key words: Haldane effect, mimetic coloration, suppressor genes, enabler genes, pupal diapause. Papilio glaucus glaucus (Papilionidae) females show a striking color dimorphism that has attracted considerable study for over 100 years (Edwards 1884, Clarke & Sheppard 1959, 1962, Brower 1958, Brower 1959a, 1959b, Brower & Brower 1962, Scriber et al. 1987, Lederhouse & Scriber 1987).
