NOTES LEPIDOPTERA OF THE NEVADA TEST SITE^ During ecological investigations by Brighani Young University at the Nevada Test Site between 1959 and 1965, many moths and butterflies were taken, mainly by incandescent and ultraviolet light-traps. Many of these were submitted to Dr. Jerry A. Powell, University of California at Berkeley, who kindly made some general as well as specific identifications as a basis for further studies with this difficult group of insects.
