AN ANNOTATED SUPPLEMENT to the STATE LIST of LOUISIANA BUTTERFLIES and SKIPPERS by GARY N. Ross and EDWARD N. LAMBREMONT INTRODU 148 Vo1.l7: no.3 AN ANNOTATED SUPPLEMENT TO THE STATE LIST OF LOUISIANA BUTTERFLIES AND SKIPPERS by GARY N. Ross and EDWARD N. LAMBREMONT INTRODUCTION Additional collections and information gathered since the publication of an annotated Louisiana list of Rhopalocera (Lambremont, 1954) are sufficient to require the publication of a supplementary revision. Except for one report of a mass flight of Panoquina ocola (Edwards) by PENN ( 1955), another report of a new larval food plant of Erynnis zarucco (Lucas) by KENDALL (1960), and of a sight record of Speyeria diana (Cramer) reported by MATHER and MATHER (1958), no further infor­ mation on the butterflies of the state has been published. The present supplement adds eleven new names to the state list, n.ine of which are new state records based on collected material. This supplement generally follows the original format. Nomenclature usage follows EHRLICH and EHRLICH (1961), except for the Hesperiidae which follows DOS PASSOS (1960). Only those species that constitute Significant extensions of flight date, abundance, or range, or that are new state or parish records will be discussed. Many additional specimens duplicating the original information were also examined, but no further mention of these will be made at this time. Actual collection data will be given only for new state records, and for a few additional species that modify the original concept of range, flight dates, or larval food plants. The following abbreviations are used: ETA (EDWARD T. ARMSTRONG), ENL (Dr. EDWARD N. L.<\MBREMONT), BLM (BURT L. MONROE), LDN (Dr. L. DALE NEWSOM) , COP (CAHHOLL O. PHILLIPS), WPR (W. PAT HICKEY), LWR (LYMAN W. HORERTS), GNR (GARY N. Hoss), WTS (Dr. WILLIAM T. SPINK) , JRS (JAMES R. STEWART), LSU (Louisiana State University, Department of Entomology Insect Collections, Mrs. JOAN B. CHAPIN, Curator). We are indebted to all of these persons (all of Baton Rouge, La. with the exception of C. O. PHILLIPS and J. R. STEWART who are from Shreveport, La.) who contributed material which is in­ corporated into the collection data in the annotated list. In addition, we wish to thank the following persons who contributed specimens, or who helped in certain taxonomic identifications, and other related problems: KEITH A. ARNOLD (Baton Rouge, La.), Dr. :\1. S. BLUM, Dr. 1963 ] ournal of the Lepidopterists' Society 149 DAN F. CLOWER, and A. D. OLIVER, (Dept. of Entomology, Louisiana State University), Dr. N. W. EARLE (United States Dept. of Agriculture), J. R. HEITZMAN (Independence, Missouri), HENRY R. HERMANN (New Orleans, La.), Mr. & Mrs. BRYANT MATHER (Jackson, Miss.), DALE K. POLLET (Gramercy, La.), Dr. WALFRIED J. REINTHAL (Knoxville, Tenn.), and Dr. STEPHEN M. RUSSELL (Louisiana State University in New Orleans) . ANNOTATED SUPPLEMENT SATYRIDAE Lethe portlandia portlandia (Fabricius). Although this insect had not been recorded since 1897 (Skinner), it has now been found to occur at several localities. These are: EAST BATON BOUGE: Balton ~ouge, 11 Oct. 1914, l'i' (LSU), 20 Sept. 1959, 1 ~ & 22 Sepit. 1959, 2 ~ ~ (ENL), 10 June 1960, 1 ~ (LSU); IBERIA: Avery Island, 5 July 1958, 15 (GNR); WEST FELICIANA: Bailli'i, 29 April 1961, U ~, 2~ ~ (GNR), Weyanoke, 24 March 1962, l'i' (BLM), 29 March 1962, 1 ~ (GNR). This species seems to be quite local in occurrence and this is perhaps the reason for j1ts scanty appearances. However, at Avery Island it was very abundant, flying low to the ground in the bamboo sites. At Bains, it was common in a circle of approximately 50 ft. in diameter. It did not stray £>rom this area, but alighted on the leaves and trunks of the hardwood trees. When approached it would dalt away, but would soon return to its former position. Lethe creola (Skinner). This species was erroneously omitted from the original list, and an account of the rectification of this error is presented by MATHER and MATHER (1958). We feel that it is of some significance that L. creola has not been taken in Louisiana since its original description by SKINNER ( 1897) from the Opelousas area. MATHER and MATHER (1958) reported only 9 specimens for the state of Mississippi. Flight dates were predominantly in July, August, and September. However, Dr. C. L. REMINGTON (personal communication)­ has indicated that Yale University has collections of L. creola taken by F. R. ARNHOLD in Louisiana. Euptychia cyrnela cymela (Cramer). The one new parish record is WEST FELICIANA. Euptychia hermes sosybius (Fabricius). The new parish records are BEAUREGARD, DESOTO, EAST BATON ROUGE,andLAFOURCHE. Euptychia areolata areolata (J. E. Smith). The new parish listing is BEAUREGARD. 150 Ross & LAMBREMONT: Louisiana Vo1.l7: no.3 Euptychia gemma gemma (HUbner). The new parish records are BEAUHEGAHD and DESOTO. Cercyonis pegala pegala (Fabricius). The only new parish record is BEAUHEGAHD. DANAIDAE Danaus pZexippus pZexippus (Linne). The four new parish listings are CAMEHON, EAST BATON HOUGE, LAFOUHCHE, and PLA­ QUEMINES. Danaus gilippus berenice (Cramer). This rare straggler was recorded previously from only four parishes and these were all in the southern part of the state. The new listings are: CADDO: Shreveport, 10 Oct. 1957, 1 (COP); Hobson, 30 Oct. 1957, 1 c;> OHS); DESOTO: Pelican, 9 Nov. 1957,10 OHS). NYMPHALIDAE Agraulis vanillae nigrior ( Linne) . The one new parish record is EAST BATON HOUGE. Euptoieta claudia claudia (Cramer). The new parish records are EAST BATON HOUGE, JEFFEHSON DAVIS, and ST. JAMES. Speyeria diana (Cramer). This species is included on the basis of a reliable sight record noted by MATHER and MATHER (1958). One female was sighted in Tallulah, MADISON Parish. This is a new name for the list, but in the authors' estimation is probably a stray from the northeast. Chlosyne gorgone gorgone (HUbner). The trivial name gorgone appeared in the original list in the genus Phyciodes. The reference there was to Phyciodes phaon, of which P. gorgone is a synonym (Holland, 1931). ChloSlJne gorgone therefore represents a new state record. The listings are : CADDO: Blanchard, 5 April 1958, 2 c;> c;> OHS); Fluornoy, 25 May 1958, 10 OHS); Shreveport, 9 March 1958, 10, 2 April 1958, 20 0 (JHS ); DESOTO: Pelican, 30 May 1958, 20 0, 1 '? (JHS ) . Mr. STEWART states that aU of these individuals were captured in grassy spots which were surrounded by mixed hardwood-coniferous forests. Further collecting must be done in this northwestern comer of the state to prove whether or not this species is a permanent resident. Phyciodes phaon (Edwards). This species was originally listed as P. gorgone (see above) and is not a new species for the state. However, the additional parish records for P. phaon are BEAUHEGAHD and EAST BATON ROUGE. Phyciodes tharos tharos (Drury). The one new parish is BEA UHE­ CARD. 1963 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 151 Phyciodes texana seminole (Edwards). This species has not been previously recorded from the state. The new records are: CADDO: Shreveport, 15 Nov. 1958,10" (JRS); EAST BATON ROUGE: Baton Rouge, 17 June 1960, 10" (ENL), 28 June 1960, 20" 0", 1 <;> & 29 June 1960,1<;> (WPR), 5 July 1960,1;1;,1 <;> (WPR & LWR); ST. TAMMANY: Slidel, 17 July 1956, 10" (GNR). This insect always was captured in or near forest cover while flying low to the ground. Polygonia interrogationis (Fabricius). The new parish records are EAST BATON ROUGE and ST. JAMES. Nymphalis antiopa antiopa (Linne). To the three records previous to this (two from New Orleans), one more must be added from this same locality. This specimen is: ORLEANS: New Orleans, 12 Oct. 1958, 1 <;> (GNR). This individual was captured in the fall of the year at 7 :30 P.M. with the temperature at 55°F. This female was flying around a spot­ light on the home grounds of the senior author. Considering the fact that the other two New Orlearu; captures were made in the late summer and early fall, it appears that this species tends to migrate further south at that time of year. Vanessa atalanta atalanta (Linne) . The new parish records are BEAUREGARD, CAMERON, DESOTO, EAST BATON ROUGE, and SABINE. Vanessa cardui cardui (Linne). The new parish records are EAST BATON ROUGE, POINT COUPEE and ST. TAMMANY. Vanessa virginiensis (Drury). The one new parish record is EAST BATON ROUGE. M estra amymone (Menetries). This species is a new state reoord. The listings are: CADDO: Shreveport, 24 Sept. 1957, 1 & 8 Oct. 1957, Id' (JRS), 10 Oct. 1957, 1 (COP), 18 Oct. 1957, 2d' 0" & 2 (COP & JRS), 20 Oct. 1957, 4 (COP), 29 Oct. 1957, 1 d' & 30 Oct. 1957, 1 <;> & 31 Oct. 1957,1 & 2 Nov. 1957, Id' (JRS), 14 Nov. 1957,3 (COP & JRS), 17 Nov. 1957, 1 (COP), 10" (JRS). Mr. STEWART reports that the majority of these 20 specimens were flying in a northeasterly direction. He states further that he and Mr. PHILLIPS visited the site of these captures (along a grassy road) many times since their original visits but that they have not seen any additional individuals. Limenitis astyanax (Fabricius) . The new parish record is EAST BATON ROUGE. Limenitis archippus watsoni (dos Passos). The new parish record is DESOTO. Anaea andria (Scudder). The new parish listings are DESOTO, EAST BATON ROUGE, and WEST FELICIANA. 152 Ross & LAMBREMoNT: Louisiana Vo1.l7: no.3 A5Iterocampa clyton clyton (Boisduval & LeConte). The new parish records are EAST BATON ROUGE and PLAQUEMINES. Asterocampa celtis alicia (Edwards). The new parish records are EAST BATON ROUGE and ST. CHARLES. LIBYTHEIDAE Libythea bachmani bachmani (Kirtland). The new parish records are EAST BATON ROUGE and POINT COUPE£. LYCAENIDAE Atlides halesus halesus (Cramer). This beautiful, irridescent species has been reported only from Orleans Parish (J ung, 1950). The new palish records are: EAST BATON ROUGE: Baton Rouge, 15 May 1920, 1 <f' & 15 Oct.

  • Effects of Prescribed Fire and Fire Surrogates on Pollinators and Saproxylic Beetles in North Carolina and Alabama
    EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FIRE SURROGATES ON POLLINATORS AND SAPROXYLIC BEETLES IN NORTH CAROLINA AND ALABAMA by JOSHUA W. CAMPBELL (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT Pollinating and saproxylic insects are two groups of forest insects that are considered to be extremely vital for forest health. These insects maintain and enhance plant diversity, but also help recycle nutrients back into the soil. Forest management practices (prescribed burns, thinnings, herbicide use) are commonly used methods to limit fuel build up within forests. However, their effects on pollinating and saproxylic insects are poorly understood. We collected pollinating and saproxylic insect from North Carolina and Alabama from 2002-2004 among different treatment plots. In North Carolina, we captured 7921 floral visitors from four orders and 21 families. Hymenoptera was the most abundant and diverse order, with Halictidae being the most abundant family. The majority of floral visitors were captured in the mechanical plus burn treatments, while lower numbers were caught on the mechanical only treatments, burn only treatments and control treatments. Overall species richness was also higher on mechanical plus burn treatments compared to other treatments. Total pollinator abundance was correlated with decreased tree basal area (r2=0.58) and increased percent herbaceous plant cover (r2=0.71). We captured 37,191 saproxylic Coleoptera in North Carolina, comprising 20 families and 122 species. Overall, species richness and total abundance of Coleoptera were not significantly different among treatments. However, total numbers of many key families, such as Scolytidae, Curculionidae, Cerambycidae, and Buprestidae, have higher total numbers in treated plots compared to untreated controls and several families (Elateridae, Cleridae, Trogositidae, Scolytidae) showed significant differences (p≤0.05) in abundance.

  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

Its nearest neighbors are Anguilla, about 80 statute miles (127 km} across the Anegada Passage to the east-southeast and Virgin Gorda, about 13 miles (21 km} due south. Whereas the Virgin Islands are generally mountainous, Anegada reaches perhaps 18 ' above mean sea level and much of the island is considerably lower (D 'Arcy, 1975}. It is about 10 miles (16 km} in length, about 15 square miles (39 km'} in area, oriented along the east-west axis and is just over 2 miles (3.5 km} across the widest point (Fig. 16}. From the south coast and into the Anegada Passage to the southeast extends the Horseshoe Reef, long a hazard to navigation.

In view of the importance of sampling these areas, the present study conducted the first butterfly inventory of a coastal area in the state of Paraná. Samples were taken in the Floresta Estadual do Palmito, from February 2014 through January 2015, using insect nets and traps for fruit-feeding butterfly species. A total of 200 species were recorded, in the families Hesperiidae (77), Nymphalidae (73), Riodinidae (20), Lycaenidae (19), Pieridae (7) and Papilionidae (4). Particularly notable records included the rare and vulnerable Pseudotinea hemis (Schaus, 1927), representing the lowest elevation record for this species, and Temenis huebneri korallion Fruhstorfer, 1912, a new record for Paraná. These results reinforce the need to direct sampling efforts to poorly inventoried areas, to increase knowledge of the distribution and occurrence patterns of butterflies in Brazil. Key words: Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, conservation, inventory, species richness.

  • Conservation of the Arogos Skipper, Atrytone Arogos Arogos (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) in Florida Marc C
    Conservation of the Arogos Skipper, Atrytone arogos arogos (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) in Florida Marc C. Minno St. Johns River Water Management District P.O. Box 1429, Palatka, FL 32177 [email protected] Maria Minno Eco-Cognizant, Inc., 600 NW 35th Terrace, Gainesville, FL 32607 [email protected] ABSTRACT The Arogos skipper is a rare and declining butterfly found in native grassland habitats in the eastern and mid- western United States. Five distinct populations of the butterfly occur in specific parts of the range. Atrytone arogos arogos once occurred from southern South Carolina through eastern Georgia and peninsular Florida as far south as Miami. This butterfly is currently thought to be extirpated from South Carolina and Georgia. The six known sites in Florida for A. arogos arogos are public lands with dry prairie or longleaf pine savanna having an abundance of the larval host grass, Sorghastrum secundum. Colonies of the butterfly are threat- ened by catastrophic events such as wild fires, land management activities or no management, and the loss of genetic integrity. The dry prairie preserves of central Florida will be especially important to the recovery of the butterfly, since these are some of the largest and last remaining grasslands in the state. It may be possible to create new colonies of the Arogos skipper by releasing wild-caught females or captive-bred individuals into currently unoccupied areas of high quality habitat. INTRODUCTION tered colonies were found in New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi. The three re- gions where the butterfly was most abundant included The Arogos skipper (Atrytone arogos) is a very locally the New Jersey pine barrens, peninsular Florida, and distributed butterfly that occurs only in the eastern and southeastern Mississippi.

PREFACE Since 1933 we have devoted practically all our leisure time to an intensive study of the butterflies of Virginia. We have regularly spent our annual leave in the State, stopping at various places from which each day we drove out into the surrounding country. In addition to prolonged visits of 2 weeks or more to various towns and cities, we spent many week ends in particularly interesting localities. We have visited all the 100 counties in the State at least twice, most of them many times, and our personal records are from more than 800 locali- ties. We have paid special attention to the Coastal Plain, particularly the great swamps in Nansemond, Norfolk, and Princess Anne Counties, and to the western mountains. Virginia is so large and so diversified that it would have been im- possible for us, without assistance, to have made more than a super- ficial and unsatisfactory study of the local butterflies.
