Lamond Brantford Note: PP = Provincial Park; CA = Conservation Area; HRCA = Halton Region Conservation Authority 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 31 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 1998. 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 organized in accordance with "A Catalogue/Check-list ofthe Butterflies of North America 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 species 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 Stormont/Dundas/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 italicized numbers correspond with the maps found in the Ontario Butterfly 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.

CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS T.E.A. PUBLICATIONS. During compilation of the 1997 Summary, two species were inadvertently omitted (or consigned to computer no-man's land!). These were Edward's Hairstreak and the Banded Hairstreak and their records are appended below. 6. Satyrium edwardsii (Grote & Robinson) EDWARD'S HAIRSTREAK - (TL - London, Ontario) In 1997 - Lambton Prairie [19] July 10 (42)(RY); Ganaraska Forest [22] July 12 (WIDE); Algonquin P.P. [47](Achray) July 25 (4), (Sand Lake Rd.) July 26 (JID); Brantford [lO](Grand River Fen) July 11 (1), Grand R. [1 0](powerline Rd.) July 13 (3)(WGL); Pt. Pelee [1] July 18 (1 worn) (AW). 7. Satyrium calanus (Hubner) BANDED HAIRSTREAK b) c.falacer (Godart) - (TL - or. Philadelphia, PA) In 1997 - Bronte Creek [17] July 12 (12), Copetown Bog [11] July 13, Branchton [15] July 19, Algonquin P.P. [47] Aug. 17 (many)(MNP); Port Hope [22] July 26 to Aug. 9 (WIDE); Point Pelee [1] July 18 (1 worn)(AW). Page 18 (special note 4.8) - the record for Juvenal's Duskywing from August 3 was almost definitely a Columbine Duskywing, Juvenal's not being known to have a 2nd brood in Ontario. ******************** 3. SPECIAL NOTES 3.1 Supplementary Update to the Butterflies ofthe Toronto Area by Barry Harrison In Section 4.2, page 8, of the 1997 Summary, I gave a listing of the butterflies monitored in the greater Toronto area over a period of some seventeen years. Several factors in 1998 have led me to update the status ofsome species. 1998 was an unusually warm year and consequently there were some occurrences of butterflies normally thought of as southern migrants. Also, though it has scarcely been a factor as yet, I have expanded the Toronto area to a more realistic thirty mile radius. This new area includes Whitby to the east, Holland Landing to the north and then east to Bronte. Dreamy Dusky Wing Erynnis icelus change from very uncommon to locally uncommon Wild Indigo Dusky Wing Erynnis baptisiae (see Special Note 4.2) Arctic Skipper Carterocephalus palaemon Probably uncommon within 30 mile radius Broad-Winged Skipper Poanes viator change from known only in one colony to locally uncommon American Copper Lycaena phlaeas changes from uncommon to rare to very uncommon Hickory Hairstreak Satyrium caryaevorum changes from very uncommon to usually uncommon Silvery Blue Glaucopsyche lygdamus probably fairly common within 30 mile radius and now significantly within Metro Toronto borders Pearl Crescent Phyciodes tharos changes from appears uncommon to very uncommon 5 3.2 Range Extension ofthe Wild Indigo Dusky Wing to Toronto by Barry Harrison The Ontario Butterfly Atlas (1) gives the Ontario distribution of the Wild Indigo Dusky Wing [Erynnis baptisiae (Forbes)] as Essex, Kent and Haldimand-Norfolk counties, and it is found consistently at the Ojibway and Spring Garden Prairies in Windsor. It has also been recorded at Walpole Island in Lambton county.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Forest Insect Conditions in the United States 1966

    Forest Insect Conditions in the United States 1966

    FOREST INSECT CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 1966 FOREST SERVICE ' U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreword This report is the 18th annual account of the scope, severity, and trend of the more important forest insect infestations in the United States, and of the programs undertaken to check resulting damage and loss. It is compiled primarily for managers of public and private forest lands, but has become useful to students and others interested in outbreak trends and in the location and extent of pest populations. The report also makes possible n greater awareness of the insect prob­ lem and of losses to the timber resource. The opening section highlights the more important conditions Nationwide, and each section that pertains to a forest region is prefaced by its own brief summary. Under the Federal Forest Pest Control Act, a sharing by Federal and State Governments the costs of surveys and control is resulting in a stronger program of forest insect and disease detection and evaluation surveys on non-Federal lands. As more States avail themselves of this financial assistance from the Federal Government, damage and loss from forest insects will become less. The screening and testing of nonpersistent pesticides for use in suppressing forest defoliators continued in 1966. The carbamate insecticide Zectran in a pilot study of its effectiveness against the spruce budworm in Montana and Idaho appeared both successful and safe. More extensive 'tests are planned for 1967. Since only the smallest of the spray droplets reach the target, plans call for reducing the spray to a fine mist. The course of the fine spray, resulting from diffusion and atmospheric currents, will be tracked by lidar, a radar-laser combination.
