Odonata: Coenagrionidae
J. Acad. Entomol. Soc. 13: 49-53 (2017) NOTE First occurrence of Enallagma pictum (Scarlet Bluet) (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) in Canada and additional records of Celithemis martha (Martha’s Pennant) (Odonata: Libellulidae) in New Brunswick: possible climate-change induced range extensions of Atlantic Coastal Plain Odonata Donald F. McAlpine, H. Scott Makepeace, Dwayne L. Sabine, Paul M. Brunelle, Jim Bell, and Gail Taylor Over the past two decades there has been a surge of interest in the Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) of Maritime Canada and adjacent regions, with much new information accrued (Brunelle, 1997; Brunelle 1999; Brunelle 2010). Much of this increased interest in the region can be attributed to the efforts of a single investigator and his collaborators in the Atlantic Dragonfly Inventory Project (ADIP; see Appendix 2 in Brunelle 2010) and the Maine Damselfly and Dragonfly Survey. In spite of the extensive database of records for the Odonata of the region that now exists (35,000 records for the Maritimes, a further 30,000 for Maine), new discoveries continue to be made (Catling 2002; Sabine et al. 2004; Cook and Bridgehouse 2005; Klymko 2007; Catling et al. 2009), testament to continuing survey effort and the natural and anthropogenic changes in regional biodiversity always in process. Here we document expansion in the geographic range of two Atlantic Coastal Plain Odonata; Enallagma pictum Morse (Scarlet Bluet) (Odonata: Coenagrionidae), shown to be resident in New Brunswick and new for Canada, and Celithemis martha Williamson (Martha’s Pennant) (Odonata: Libellulidae), a species known previously from a single occurrence (Klymko 2007); and, comment on the significance of these records in the light of climate warming now in process. -

Associate, Department of Zoology - Insects Field Museum of Natural History 1400 South Lake Shore Drive Chicago, Illinois 60605 Telephone (708) 485 7358 home (312) 665 7016 museum Email jwdw440(q-), m indsprinq .co m > home wagner@,fmnh .orq> museum Abstract: From May 10, 2002 through September 13, 2002, eight field trips were made to the Harbor at Waukegan, Illinois to survey the beach - dunes and swales for Odonata [dragonfly], Lepidoptera [butterfly] and Coleoptera [beetles] faunas between Midwest Generation Plant on the North and the Outboard Marine Corporation ditch at the South . Eight species of Dragonflies, fourteen species of Butterflies, and eighteen species of beetles are identified . No threatened or endangered species were found in this survey during twenty-four hours of field observations . The area is undoubtedly home to many more species than those listed in this report. Of note, the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabakov was not seen even though it has been reported from Illinois Beach State Park, Lake County . The larval food plant, Lupinus perennis, for the blue was not observed at Waukegan. The limestone seeps habitat of the endangered Hines Emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana, is not part of the ecology here . One surprise is the. breeding population of Buckeye butterflies, Junonia coenid (Hubner) which may be feeding on Purple Loosestrife . The specimens collected in this study are deposited in the insect collection at the Field Museum . -
Butterfly Migrations in Florida: Seasonal Patterns and Long-Term
POPULATION ECOLOGY Butterfly Migrations in Florida: Seasonal Patterns and Long-Term Changes THOMAS J. WALKER1 Department of Entomology and Nematology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611Ð0620 Environ. Entomol. 30(6): 1052Ð1060 (2001) ABSTRACT Flight traps at Gainesville, in north-central Florida, operating from 1984 to spring 2000, separated butterßies migrating into the Florida peninsula (SSE Ϯ 90Њ) from those migrating out of the Florida peninsula (NNW Ϯ 90Њ). Five species ßew southward in the fall and northward in the spring: Phoebis sennae (L.), Agraulis vanillae (L.), Junonia coenia (Hu¨ bner), Urbanus proteus (L.), and Eurema lisa (Boisduval & LeConte). Five species had signiÞcant northward ßights in spring but no signiÞcant migration in fall: Pieris rapae (L.), Vanessa virginiensis (Drury), Vanessa atalanta (L.), Eurytides marcellus (Cramer), and Libytheana bachmanii (Kirtland). Danaus plexippus (L.) had a southward ßight in fall but no signiÞcant migration in spring. Eurema daira (Godart) switched from a net movement northward in early fall to a net movement southward in late fall, whereas Eurema nicippe (Cramer) maintained a net movement northward throughout the fall. The major migrants differed signiÞcantly in the seasonal timing and duration of peak migration. When the numbers trapped were greatest, the proportion of those ßying in the migratory direction was greatest. The numbers of spring migrants of A. vanillae increased during the course of the study, whereas both the spring and fall migrations of J. coenia declined. The fall migrations of P. sennae and U. proteus declined sharply. In 1990Ð1999, the fall migrations of P. sennae and U. proteus averaged only 37 and 15% of what they had averaged in 1984Ð1989. -
A New Sandy-Desert Subspecies of Megathymus Coloradensis (Megathymidae) from Extreme Northern Arizona
BULLETIN OF THE ALLYN MUSEUM Published by THE ALLYN MUSEUM OF ENTOMOLOGY Sarasota, Florida Number -- 17 12 APRIL 1974 A NEW SANDY-DESERT SUBSPECIES OF MEGATHYMUS COLORADENSIS (MEGATHYMIDAE) FROM EXTREME NORTHERN ARIZONA Ronald S.' and Dale Wielgus 3434 West Augusta Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85021 Recent descriptions in the genus Cercyonis (Satyridae) by Emmel & Emmel (1969; 1971) and Emmel & Mattoon (1972) have shown the existence of distinctive whitish races adapted to arid alkaline flats of the western deserts of the United States. Such environmental adaptation appears to extend to a population of Megathymus coloradensis Riley inhabiting a sandy-desert area of extreme northern Arizona. The discovery of the subspecies described herein was a result of our initial investigations into the biology of Megathymus streckeri (Skinner). The purpose of this paper is to describe the new population and to note its life history. This study considered the following subspecies: Megathymus coloradensis navajo Skinner, Megathymus coloradensis arizonae Tinkham, Megathymus coloradensis reubeni Stallings, Turner & Stallings, Megathymus coloradensis coloradensis Riley and Megathymus coloradensis browni Stallings & Turner. Megathymus coloradensis albasuffusa Ronald S. and Dale Wielgus, new subspecies. Female. Head: vertex grey, Palpus: white, with some black-tipped scales. Antenna: shaft white distad, ringed with black basad; club black. Thorax: grey dorsally with long greenish-brown hairs caudad, blackish ventrally. Abdomen: black dorsally, grey ventrally. -

The Butterflies of Mississippi Supplement No
Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(2), 1985, 134-138 THE BUTTERFLIES OF MISSISSIPPI SUPPLEMENT NO. 31 BRYANT MATHER2 AND KATHARINE MATHER 213 Mt. Salus Road, Clinton, Mississippi 39056 ABSTRACT. An annotated list of Mississippi butterflies is presented. This updated version is the fifth such list published. Six names additional to the previous lists have been included. Of the five published lists of Mississippi butterflies, this is the first to use the names and arrangement of Miller and Brown (1981) as amend ed by them in Hodges (Editor) (1983). It includes six names not in cluded in the fourth list (Mather & Mather, 1976). The growth rate has dropped to fewer than one per year as indicated in Table 1 below: TABLE 1. Published lists of Mississippi butterflies, showing rate of increase in the addition of names previously unrecorded from the state. Time Names added List Reference Names interval Names added per year 1 Weed (1894) 53 2 Hutchins (1933) 73 39 20 0.5 3 M. & M. (1958) 122 25 49 1.9 4 M. & M. (1976) 144 18 22 1.2 5 M. & M. (1984) 150 8 6 0.75 In 1958 we expressed the opinion that the list would grow to include about 160 names. We also said, "there may be cases in which the Mississippi representatives of a given species represent more than one population; if so, we do not believe that we as yet have adequate data to support such a conclusion." Now we do. Our reasons for adding the six names are summarized below. 1. -

Butterflies of Tanzania
80 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY status. Also included on the species page is an occurrence calendar-graph for each stage of the species and a map of Ontario showing distribution by dots placed in each county and district of occurrence. I wish the authors had included more biological information and" characteristics" of each species instead of devoting more than half a page to each distribution map. The 12 color plates include 2 habitat photographs and 27 individual photographs that show 7 larvae and pupa and 20 adults, representing 22 species. Following the main species section is information on 19 stray species that have been vouchered by a single specimen (e.g., Erynnis zarucco) or rarely recorded (e.g., Speyeria idalia). It appears to me that these strays should have been included in the main species section, which already includes such strays as Pyrgus communis, Hylephila phyleus, Battus philenor, to name a few. Next is a section listing five unconfirmed species that may range into Ontario based on records from adjacent provinces and Michigan. This section might better have been called a hypothetical species list. The final species section has information on five doubtful species that have been erroneously referred to Ontario as a result of misidentification, improper labelling, or lack of a voucher specimen. The last four pages of the Atlas comprise a bibliography, including check-lists, TEA publications, and general works, and a provincial ranking of status indicating number of occurrences within the province. This publication is a valuable addition to the literature on Lepidoptera of the region from Hudson Bay to the Great Lakes, although there are a few questionable assertions. -
