Papilio Glaucus, P. Marcellus, P. Philenor, Pieris Rapae, Colias Philo Dice, Antho­ Caris Genutia, Anaea Andria, Euptychia Gemma 102 REMINGTON: 1952 Central Season Vol.7, nos.3·4 Papilio glaucus, P. marcellus, P. philenor, Pieris rapae, Colias philo dice, Antho­ caris genutia, Anaea andria, Euptychia gemma. One exception to the general scarcity was the large number of Erynnis brizo and E. juvenalis which were seen clustered around damp spots in a dry branch on April 9. MERRITT counted 67 Erynnis and 2 Papilio glaucus around one such spOt and 45 Erynnis around another. Only one specimen of Incisalia henrici was seen this spring. MERRITT was pleased to find Incisalia niphon still present in a small tract of pine although the area was swept by a ground fire in 1951. Vanessa cardui appeared sparingly from June 12 on, the first since 1947. In the late summer the season appeared normal. Eurema lisa, Nathalis iole, Lycaena thoe, and Hylephila phyleus were common. Junonia coenia was more abundant around Louisville than he has ever seen it. A rarity taken in Louisville this fall was Atlides halesus, the first seen since 1948. The latest seasonal record made by Merritt was a specimen of Colias eury­ theme flying south very fast on December 7. EDWARD WELLING sent a record of finding Lagoa crispata on June 27 at Covington.

ZIEMER. 5570 Etzel Avenue, St. Louis 12, Mo., U.S.A. 6. SOUTHEAST - FLORIDA TO LOUISIANA, NORTH TO ARKANSAS AND MARYLAND by RALPH 1. CHERMOCK In the southeastern region, the winter of 1951 to 1952 was comparatively mild, followed by a warm, somewhat early spring. As a result, the spring flights of butterflies were above normal. However, the summer was charac­ terized by a prolonged drought, coupled with above-normal temperatures. In many areas, this weather persisted into the autumn months. As a result, butterflies were comparatively rare during this period. In some areas, the autumn flights were nearly normal. VIRGINIA S. S. NICOLAY collected in the vicinity of Washington, D. c., on April 14, and found the following species on wing: Incisalia henrici; I. niphon; Strymon melinus,' Lyccenopsis pJeudargiolus; Anthocaris genutia; Papilio glaucus; Erynnis juvenalis and E. bl'izo. This was followed by a period of drought and unusual heat for this time of year, which depleted their numbers. However, Mitoura gryneus, Papilio polyxenes, and P. glaucus apparently were unaffected by the unusual climate. A long rainy period closed the spring flights. During the first week of June, Poanes zabulon, Polites peck ius, P. verna, and P. manataaqua were the only abundant species; Speyeria cybele 1953 The Lepidopterists' News 101 at Byesville, RICHARD KLEIN at Chagron Falls, Solon & Streetsboro, JOSEPH LINDIC in Cleveland, JOSEPH PRESKAR at Euclid. 59 species of butterflies "-nd 244 species of moths were observed and reported on fully. Space is not available for more than a summary of his report. He found the season rather dry, July especially excessively hot and humid. August was rainy and cool, but September and October were dry again. N ovem ber was cool and warm intermittently. WELLING captured for the first time Euptoieta claudia, F eniseca tarqttiniuJ, Libytheana bachmanii, ErynniJ icelus, Hesperia leonardus. Scarcer than usual were Polygonia comma, Papilio glaucus, Thory­ beJ bathylltts, T. pylades, Erynnis horatius, Polites themistocles, Poanes hobo­ mok. Commoner than usual were Speyeria cybele, S. aphrodite, S. aphrodite alcestis, Precis lavinia coenia, VaneSJa cardui, Strymon melinus, S. titus, Eu­ rema lisa, Papilio troilus, Pholisora catullus, Hylephila phyleus, Polites mana­ taaquel, A try tone dion. Entirely absent were Euphydryas phaeton, Melitaea nycteis, Melitaea harrisii, Lethe eurydice, Euptychia mitchellii, Strymon lipar­ ops, Papilio marcellus, Achalarus lyciades, Atalopedes campestris, Atrytone bimacula, A. COnJpiClJ,a, Erynnis juvenalis. In his 1951 report WELLING noted the discovery of two uncommon Hesperiids, Atrytone dion and A. cOnJPicua in a small patch of grass, 75 feet by 15 feet in Euclid. This year A. c01lSpicua was missing, but A. dion was found elsewhere in Ellclid, mainly on Asclepias. WELLING finds, as most of us do, that the trend to suburban building development is annihilating many of his favorite collecting spots. WELLING collects moths much more diligently than most of those re­ porting. This year he caught for the first time Celerio lineata, Sanninoidea exitiosa, Arctonotus arcuata, Schizura unicornis, Apantesis anna form "per­ sephone", Eubaphe aurantiaca (previously form "rubicund aria" only), Hap­ loa confusa, Tortricidia testae ea. Moths commoner than usual in the Lake Erie region were Antheraea poLyphemuJ, Leuconycta leucostigma, Anaphora popoanella, Anisota rubicunda, Nerice bidentata, Hyphantria cunea, Eubaphe aurantiaca form "rubicundaria," Euchaetias oregonensis, Phragmatobia fuli­ ginosa (usually non-existent), Cochlidion biguttata, Y ponomeuta multipunc­ teUa (perhaps thousands to the acre in the forests) . Scarcer than usual were Ampelophaga pholus, Amphion neHUJ, Paonias myops, Hemaris thysbe, Phlege­ thontius sextus, P. quinquemaculatus, T olype velleda, [sia isabella, Pyrausta pertexlalis, Pyralis farinalis. WELLING had extremely good success in sugaring for Nocruidae. The list of Catocala he took includes C. ilia f. "osculata" and "uxor", C. parta, C. relicta, C. ultronia, C. unijuga, C. grynea, C. vidua, C. cara, C. concumbens, C. innubens, C. cerogama, C. nebulosct, C. amatrix, C. obscura, C. neogama, C. piatrix, C. Jubnata. KENTUCKY JAMES R. MERRITT sends the only complete report of collecting in this state. After a mild winter the spring butterflies appeared on schedule, but in fewer numbers than he has found previously. By March 12 Nymphali.r antiopa and Polygonia comma appeared out of hibernation. By March 29 emerging butterflies appeared: Erynnis brizo, E. juvenalis, Lycaenopsis argiolus, 1953 The Lepidopterists' News 97 and other Noctuidae. At Isle Royale in [ate July species observed included Speyeria cyhele and form "krautwurmi", S. atlantis, Limenitis arthemis, Colias interior, Vanessa cardui, Precis lavinia coenia, Nymphalis antiopa, and H es­ peria laurentina. Near Nawbinway in early August he took a fine series of Lycaena dorcas in a bog and also Nymphalis j-album, Pieris napi, and one Polygonia satyrus. At Luzerne on June 22 NIELSEN and JOHN NEWMAN found good collecting which included Boloria selene, Phyciodes tharos, P. batesi, Papilio glaucus, MeZitaea harrisii, C olias interior, Pleheius saepiolus, lncisalia polios, Lycaenopsis argiolus, Erynnis martialis, E. icelus, Hesperia sassacus, H. metea, Polites peckius, P. mystic, Poanes hohomok and form "pocahontas", A try ton­ opsis hianna, AmblyscirteJ vialis. In the evening a lighted sheet overlooking the creek attracted Odontosia elegans, Datana sp., Habrosyne .fcripta, Halisidota caryae, Smerinthus cerisyi, Paonias excaecata. Darapsa pholus came to bait. On May 18 near Baldwin NIELSEN found Hesperia metea, Incisalia polios, 1. augustinus, l. niphon, Oeneis chryxttS, Erynnis brizo, E. juvenalis, all taken in open pine plains. In Montcalm County on May 7 five Glaucopsyche lygdamus were taken at the edge of a swamp. On May 22 here he observed a female Erynnis lucilius ovipositing on wild Columbine, tagged the plant containing one egg and returned later to take the larva, which produced a perfect imago. Also in this area he saw Erynnis juvenalis and E. icelus; Ly­ caena hypophlaeas was abundant. Additional species included Polygonia comma, Melitaea nycteis, Lethe portlandia, L. eurydice, Speyeria aphrodite, Strymon titus, S. acadica, Atrytone logan, Wallengrenia otho, and T horyhes pylades. A week later he took a fine series of Strymon edwardsii, S. acadica, and S. titus. On one large clump of Ceanothus americanus he counted over 30 Strymon edwardsii, S. titus, and one Lycaena helloides. In the same area were Atrytone conspicua, Polites verna, P. themistocles, P. manataaqua, Pholisora catullus, Nymphalis milherti. Unusual captures on Sept. 4 were Strymon melinus and A try tone logan, very late for both. Collecting here in June at night with lights, NIELSEN took single gravid females of Prionoxystus robiniae and Cossus centerensis, as well as Actias luna, Anisota rubicunda, Ceratomia amyntor, and the nuisance MaLacosoma americana. In Ingham County on July 5 NIELSEN rook a fine series of Poanes viator in a swamp, as well as Atry/one logan, A. dion, Euphydryas phaeton, Speyeria cybele, S. aphrodite, Strymon titus, S. acadica, S. liparops, Atrytone ruricola. In Washtenaw County on July 6 NIELSEN and NEWMAN collected the rare Ettptychia mitchellii. All were taken in shade and only 7 were collected, in order not to exterminate this small colony, which is very local. Poanes massasoit was also taken in this swamp. In Lenawee County, near the Ohio line, NIELSEN collected one Papilio marcellus, also Asterocampa clyton, Strymon liparops, Limenitis arc hippus, Lihytheana bachmanii. In August Euptoieta claudia was common, with two Papilio marcellus, Precis lavinia coenia, and Papilio polyxenes. He saw one Speyeria idalia female. Sugaring on August 30 produced Catocala cara, C. amatrix, C. hinda and many other Noctuids. 98 REMINGTON: 1952 Central Season Vol.7, n05 .3-4 R. W. HODGES also sent a fine report of his collecting

  • Rare Native Animals of RI
    RARE NATIVE ANIMALS OF RHODE ISLAND Revised: March, 2006 ABOUT THIS LIST The list is divided by vertebrates and invertebrates and is arranged taxonomically according to the recognized authority cited before each group. Appropriate synonomy is included where names have changed since publication of the cited authority. The Natural Heritage Program's Rare Native Plants of Rhode Island includes an estimate of the number of "extant populations" for each listed plant species, a figure which has been helpful in assessing the health of each species. Because animals are mobile, some exhibiting annual long-distance migrations, it is not possible to derive a population index that can be applied to all animal groups. The status assigned to each species (see definitions below) provides some indication of its range, relative abundance, and vulnerability to decline. More specific and pertinent data is available from the Natural Heritage Program, the Rhode Island Endangered Species Program, and the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. STATUS. The status of each species is designated by letter codes as defined: (FE) Federally Endangered (7 species currently listed) (FT) Federally Threatened (2 species currently listed) (SE) State Endangered Native species in imminent danger of extirpation from Rhode Island. These taxa may meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. Formerly considered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Federal listing as endangered or threatened. 2. Known from an estimated 1-2 total populations in the state. 3. Apparently globally rare or threatened; estimated at 100 or fewer populations range-wide. Animals listed as State Endangered are protected under the provisions of the Rhode Island State Endangered Species Act, Title 20 of the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.

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.

  • Study of Fluorescent Pigments in Lepidoptera by Means of Paper Partition Chromatography!
    1968 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 27 STUDY OF FLUORESCENT PIGMENTS IN LEPIDOPTERA BY MEANS OF PAPER PARTITION CHROMATOGRAPHY! GEORGE W. RAWSON2 10405 Amherst Ave., Silver Spring, Maryland Subsequent to the extensive study of organic pigments in Lepidoptera by Ford (1941-1955), very little has been done to advance our knowl­ edge of pigments in butterflies. There have been, however, some special­ ized investigations by a group of biochemists and geneticists interested in the chemical structure of pteridine compounds (Hadorn, 1962). Having been interested in butterflies during my youth and as an avocation for over half a century, I have devoted a number of years after retirement in an attempt to continue research on organic pigments in butterflies by employing the comparatively new yet popular technique of paper partition chromatography. Based on studies of fluorescent pig­ ments of many species, genera and families of butterflies on chromato­ grams, including the distribution of pigments in various parts of the body, I hope this paper will be of interest to fellow lepidopterists. Sufficient evidence has been obtained to show that the pigments in Lepidoptera and other orders of insects, particularly the fluorescent pteridines, are correlated to morphological taxonomy and that this prin­ ciple can be a valuable auxiliary aid in systematics. HISTORICAL REVIEW Apparently, the first person to study thc chemistry of pigments in butterflies was Hopkins (1891, 1895 a, b, c). He discovered two water soluble pigments, leucopterin and xanthopterin, in the wings of white and yellow pierid butterflies, respectively. The chemical structure of these compounds, however, was not known until they were re-examined by Wieland and SchopP They are regarded as purine compounds and are called pterins or pteridines, the name being derived from the Greek work for wing "ptcron." Thirty years after Hopkins' papers, Cockayne (1924) made a study of reactions of butterflies' wings when examined 1 Contribution No.

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.
