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 32 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 1999.
Section 5 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 StormontlDundas!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, Le. (3). Also note that 0'= male, ~ = female, C = collected, R = released and S = sighting.

GENERAL SUMMARY OF ONTARIO LEPIDOPTERA IN 1999 Section 2 in this issue ofthe TEA Summary is devoted to an article on the Inornate Ringlet (c. tullia inomata W.H. Edwards) by Dr. W.lD. Eberlle, who passed away last year. This species occupied Dr. Eberlle's interest for many years, and he wrote a number of articles about the species which were included in the summaries. It had been intended to include the article herein included in a copy ofOntario Insects, and Dr. Eberlie had submitted it with that in mind. However, it seemed more appropriate to me that it should rest in a TEA summary as a final chapter in a valuable body ofwork. The 1999 summary includes eight special notes, with interesting reports of the Zarucco Dusky-wing and an update on the Wild Indigo Duskywing in Scarborough and other Toronto locations from Barry Harrison. Two more sightings ofthe Funereal Duskywing in Lambton Prairie and High Park were made by Bob Yukich and a photograph is included in this summary. Alan Wormington notes in his Point Pelee Butterfly Highlights another exceptional year with an astonishing 65 species recorded. Alan's The Butterflies of Point Pelee National Park, Ontario (1983), listed 68 species based on all known records dating back to 1882, in other words, a 100 year period. The trend of earlier and warmer spring weather, perhaps combined with hotter summers, is probably responsible for this ongoing series ofrecord early and late dates, plus the increasing array of immigrants from the south. Colin Jones has another listing of noteworthy records from Algonquin Provincial Park and Dr. Nick Escott reports on Monarchs and Buckeyes in Thunder Bay. Paul Catling writes on oviposition ofthe Delaware Skipper and a possible overlooked locality in Ontario for the Kamer Blue. An item of major interest was the discovery in the Royal Ontario Museum collection ofa hitherto unknown species for Ontario. While examining part ofthe collection, Quimby Hess and Jim Spottiswood discovered four specimens of the Cranberry Blue [Vaciniina optilete (Knoch)] labelled "Thunder Bay, June 25, 1984" and collected by Rein Jaagumagi ofthe ROM staff In The Butterflies ofManitoba by P. Klassen, A.R. Westwood, W.B. Preston and W.B. McKillop, it is noted that the subspecies v.o. yukona is common in Alaska and the Yukon but scarce in Manitoba, with seven records listed. However, the authors state that the butterfly is probably more common in Manitoba than the records indicate. The habitat appears to be taiga and tundra in association with bogs and it should be noted that the western areas round Thunder Bay have bog and dry sandy habitats. Alan Wormington and Henrietta O'Neill found a worn male of the Northern Hairstreak [Euristrymon ontario (W.H. Edwards)] - a new species for Point Pelee. Despite several Ontario records in the literature, the only other specimen known for the province is the type specimen collected in 1868 at Port Stanley, Elgin County. Note that this species in recent literature is known as the Southern Hairstreak [Fixseniafavonius (lE. Smith)]. 5 A new butterfly book has recently appeared, A Worldfor Butterflies, Their Lives, Behaviour and Future, published by Key Porter Books Limited in Toronto. The author is Phil Schappert, a long time member and past president ofthe TEA, currently residing in Texas. Just picking this book up gives one the idea that it is a quality product, as it has a "heft" to it that is most impressive and follows from the use of good coated paper stock. It has a dust jacket adorned with excellent photographs of various butterflies, including a Morpho from South America. The dedication is to Phil's parents and also Dr. W. John D. Ebedie, "... who shared the benefits of wisdom gained in a lifetime ofstudying, rearing and photographing butterflies through all oftheir stages." Riffling through the pages at random immediately conveys the fact that all of the photographs included (by many notable nature photographers) are of a similar high quality to those seen on the d.j. The main chapters included are Why Butterflies?, with commentary on butterfly heritage, life cycle, body .....J form and structure and conservation. This material is explained in a scientific but straightforward manner, so that any budding enthusiast can understand the factual data. This is followed by Butterflies of the World with explanations of the origin of butterflies, their taxonomy, classification and nomenclature, including sections on all the major families. Then comes A World ofButterflies covering the geographic distribution ofbutterflies and comments on population biology, after which A Butterfly's World explains in greater detail the life history, coping with predators and strategies for survival. The last section, A World for Butterflies discusses the causes of butterfly endangerment with selected case studies, including the Karner Blue from Ontario and the Large Blue from England, both extirpated. The migration ofthe Monarch is treated in the form of an "Endangered Phenomenon", citing all the problems surrounding the survival of this species in North America. Perhaps the most important section here is titled "What can I do?", and discusses strategies in which we can all participate to assist these fragile creatures to survive the many pressures they are subjected to in our modern world. Following on the main chapters is an appendix which includes additional resources for the reader, and the author suggest that anyone can participate in finding out more by using a web site he has set up (www.aworldforbutterflies.com).This is followed by a multi-page glossary, a bibliography and an index. The whole book totals 320 pages and is eminently readable, with very few errors, among them on page 46 the figure has 'orange sulf~r' and 'alphafa butterfly'; on page 55 'Lepteninae' and 'Lyphrinae' instead of 'Lipteninae' and 'Liphyrinae' and in the lower figure on page 71 'Leptininae'. However, these are minor cavils and I can thoroughly recommend this book to all nature lovers - not just butterfly enthusiasts. A great job Phil! ******************** 6 3. Notes on the Distribution of Coenonvmpha tullia by Dr. J.W.D. Eberlie (1900 - 1998) Introduction At a time when a major concern ofnaturalists is the conservation ofdisappearing species, it is a pleasant change to discuss a butterfly which appears to be flourishing and has extended its range widely in north eastern North America in recent years. The Common Ringlet (but I prefer to call it simply the 'Ringlet'), Coenonympha tullia (Muller, 1764) is such a butterfly and the purpose of this article is to try and docu-ent the changes that have occurred and are still occurring in its distribution, particularly in Ontario. This increase in range is particularly interesting for two reasons; firstly, the same species is not doing so well in Europe where, according to a letter I received recently from a 'tullia enthusiast' in England (Harry T. Eales), it has disappeared from two European countries in recent years and is now much endangered in a third country, namely Holland. The other reason is that global warming is already being suspected of leading to some southern species of butterfly encroaching northwards, for instance into Ontario, where as C. tullia is accepted as a northern species in origin and has been spreading southwards. Evidence for these changes in distribution is obtainable from entomo logical literature, personal communication with experienced lepidopterists, "The Seasonal Summaries" of the Toronto Entomologists' Association, study of specimens in museums, university collections, the Canadian National collection and finally, personal observations. Past Distribution. In an earlier article on voltinism in C. tullia (TEA occasional publication, No. 10-79), I reported that older writers describe the distribution of Coenonympha tullia, for instance, as the "Spruce-belt Section of the Eastern half of Canada, apparently reaching its southern limits in the Algonquin Park region ofOntario and the lower reaches ofthe Gatineau River just north of Ottawa". Similarly, in the Province ofQuebec, the butterfly was said not to occur south ofthe St. Lawrence River during the last century and the early part ofthis century. I have found two sources that confirm this. First is the writings ofPhilip Gosse, an English naturalist who lived for a time in the Village of Compton, in Sherbrooke County in the Eastern Townships of then Lower Canada. He wrote a book called "The Canadian Naturalist" which was originally published in 1840. Clearly he was an acute observer ofnature and familiar with the local butterflies which he describes in the book, but C. tullia is nowhere mentioned and one can presume that it was not then present in that part of Southern Quebec. (The book, "The Canadian Naturalist" by P. H. Gosse was originally published in London, England by John Van Voorst in 1840 and reprinted by Coles Publishing Co., Toronto in 1971). Secondly, a preliminary list of insects from the Province ofQuebec by Albert F. Winn, was published as "Part 1, Lepidoptera" by the Quebec Society for the protection of Plants in 1912. This was written by Mr. Winn after twenty years ofactive collecting oflepidoptera throughout the Province ofQuebec. He stated that "c. inornata has only been taken in the Laurentian Mountains." Another excellent source of the distribution of butterflies in Ontario in the last century was the Rev. C.J.S. Bethune, who lived for many years in Port Hope, Ontario and published the "Butterflies of the Eastern Provinces ofCanada" in the 25th and subsequent annual reports ofthe Entomological Society of Canada from 1892 onwards. He reported that "c. inomata is a very rare butterfly" and the only Ontario locality he mentioned was Sault Ste. Marie. He was a very active collector in the Port Hope area, i.e. Northumberland County and adjacent Durham County (Port Hope being in Durham County at that time) and also in many other parts of Ontario and we can therefore assume that C. tullia was unknown in Southern Ontario in the last century. 7 Similarly, personal observations of experienced lepidopterists confirm that C. tullia was unknown in Southern Ontario in the early part ofthis century. For instance, Mr. 1. H. Martin, who was a curator of the Canadian National Collection, told me in 1981 that he had spent his boyhood in Hamilton, Southern Ontario, where he was already collecting lepidoptera. C. tullia was unknown to him in that area. He remembered his pleasure at first collecting it in later life in more northern parts ofOntario. Bill Edmonds, long-time member ofthe TEA spent his youth in Toronto and remembers that he had to go several miles north to find C. tullia; he first found it in Toronto in the early 1960s. Tony Holmes, another TEA senior member, who has worked on the distribution of Ontario butterflies for many years, first collected second brood specimens of C. tullia in what was then Ontario County, Southern Ontario, in August 1960. He first collected specimens in Eastern Ontario in May 1962 in Lanark County. Recent Changes in Distribution The records in the TEA Seasonal Summaries are certainly our best source of information on changes of the distribution ofOntario butterflies but unfortunately the Association was not formed until 1969 so the records do not begin until after that date. To obtain records before the 70s, we have to resort to university and museum collections. The Canadian National Collection was examined in March 1981 and at that time it housed 1,577 specimens of C. tullia of which only 82 were from Ontario. The earliest specimens recorded from Ontario were collected in 1922 (unless two specimens labelled "James Bay", July 4, 1887 are from Ontario). The earliest specimens from south of Algonquin Park were collected in 1952. The earliest specimens from the Ottawa area (i.e. south of the Ottawa River) were collected from 1937 to 1943. Moreover, all these specimens were collected in Mayor June, and no specimens are labelled August or September until 1952. There are no specimens in the C.N.C. from west ofToronto. The RO.M. collection was checked in January 1978 and rechecked in September 1981 after its move to new quarters. There were 152 specimens of C. tullia from Ontario. The earliest specimens recorded are from Northern Ontario, i.e. the districts of Algoma, Cochrane and Thunder Bay and were collected from 1925 onwards. No specimens were collected from Southern Ontario prior to 1945 and until 1966 these were all collected in Mayor June except for one specimen which was collected in September 1964 at Whitby. This specimen was present in the collection when first examined in 1978 but when the collection was re-examined in 1981, it could not be found. There are also a group of 25 specimens, mostly from the Parry Sound, Muskoka and Nipissing Districts that are intermediate geographically between Northern and Southern Ontario, all collected in June and July from 1934 onwards. In 1978 there were no specimens in the collection from west ofSimcoe County. McMaster University, Department ofBiology insect collection has 11 specimens only. Four specimens from in or near Algonquin Park, were collected in June 1940 and 1942 and seven specimens from Amherst Island, Lennox and Addington Co., Eastern Ontario, were collected in August 1955. University of Guelph. Ontario Agricultural College collection has 22 specimens from Ontario. Four specimens are from the Ottawa area collected in June 1899, but the exact locality is not recorded and they may well have been north of the Ottawa River. There are five specimens from "?Orillia" collected in June 1893. Two specimens are from Cobourg, Northumberland County, collected in July 1958. There 8 are two from Guelph in June 1979, three from localities in South Eastern Ontario from 1963 onwards and two from Haliburton district in July and August 1956 and 1973 respectively. University of Western Ontario. Department of Zoology collection has a total of eight specimens only of which five specimens are from the Algoma District collected by Dr. P.D. Syme in June 1955. There is one specimen from Mississauga, Southern Ontario, dated August 1978 and one specimen from Bradford, July 1933, plus one further specimen from Belleville, August 1931. The Toronto Entomologists Association Seasonal Summaries show that in the north ofOntario, C. tullia flies from June to mid July and has not been reported in August or September, whereas, in the south the butterfly flies in May and June and again in August and September. It appears to be common in grassy areas, especially in the counties bordering Lake Ontario. Certainly when I arrived in Northumberland County in 1966, I found it abundant in both June and August in all grassy areas ofthe county. However, until 1971, there were no reports ofthe butterfly from areas west ofToronto; then from 1971 to 1975 inclusive, there were four reports from Halton, Waterloo and Wentworth counties. Since then the insect seems to have been spreading steadily westward end has now reached the western shore of Lake Huron in Grey County. This spread was nicely documented, with maps, by Quimby Hess in the TEA Summaries for 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1982 (TEA Occasional Publications nos. 11-80 p.6, no. 12-81, p.7, no. 14-83, p.8 and no. 16-85, p.ll). The second generation appears to be well established in all Ontario counties bordering Lake Ontario and is numerous also in Peterborough County. However, as one travels north from Peterborough County, the second brood becomes sparser and less evident, so that reports of second brood individuals become progressively less frequent, presumably because the date of the spring emergence becomes later and later. In Muskoka and Haliburton Districts, second brood specimens are reported rarely, e.g. one report for August 1965 for the Muskoka district. Similarly, Layberry, Lafontaine and Hall (Trail & Landscape, published by the Ottawa Field Naturalists, Vol. 16, No.1, Jan/Feb. p. 49) state for the Ottawa District that "The three second generation records in the Quebec part ofthe Ottawa District were each single specimens only; the Ottawa River seems to represent the Northern limit of the second generation in our area." CONCLUSION It would seem from these records that C. tullia first appeared in Southern Ontario in the 1930s but only occasional specimens were collected in that decade. In the 1950s it became more prevalent and second brood specimens were then first recorded. The westward extension, i.e. westwards from Toronto, of the insect apparently started in the 1970s, so that the butterfly is now found in pretty well all of Ontario, but it is only bivoltine in the south ofthe province, in fact approximately south ofan imaginary line between Parry Sound and Ottawa. It has been customary for us to label the northern specimens, which tend to have no ocelli, as C. tullia inornata and the southern 'well-ocellated' as C. tullia heinemanni. However, I wonder ifthey should be given subspecific names in view ofthe fact that there is a very clear cline, the existence of which can be easily demonstrated by sampling specimens of the butterfly along a south to north journey from Southern Ontario to Cochrane in the north. Ifone drives north from Whitby, on the north shore ofLake Ontario, along Hwys. 12 and 11, all the way to Cochrane - a distance of664 km., the butterfly is easily found in late June along the way in open grassy areas and often on the wide grass verges that usually border the highway. Just north ofWhitby, on Hwy. 12, will be found the typical southern form ofthe butterfly with dark brown colour and well-defined ocelli on the underside forewings. 9 From about Washago, where one joins Hwy. 11 northwards, ocelli are absent in large numbers of individuals, so that several miles before Cochrane is reached, no individuals have ocelli and all are lighter in colour on the underside. The presence of these wide grass verges along major provincial highways leads me to speculate that this may well have facilitated the spread ofthe butterfly from north to south as I believe that the construction of these wider north-south roads only began in the 1950s. These wide verges contain a lot ofthe grass Poa pratense which my observations have shown to be a favourite food plant ofthe larva and these verges often have damp ditches where this grass flourishes. ******************** 4. SPECIAL NOTES 4.1 Occurrence ofZarucco Duskywing [Erynnis zarucco (Lucas)] in Toronto by Barry Harrison On a hot (28°), humid August 17th, at 1 p.m., I was approaching the ridge of the Scarborough Bluffs and nearing a patch of Indian Hemp (Apocynum cannabium) I noticed a dark butterfly alternately flying up and then alighting on the flowers. I could see that it was a duskywing and it allowed me to draw very close. There were temporary gusts of wind from the north-east which kept putting it up, but it seemed determined to return to the hemp flowers and certainly did not seem bothered by my close presence. The ensuing inspection showed that it was noticeably larger than the average duskywing and a uniform blackish above and below with white apical marks and an outstanding light brown or tan cell spot on the upper forewing! This spot was very dramatic when contrasted with the uniform blackish (or very dark brown) all around it. The butterfly appeared to be in mint condition. After a few minutes, the sporadic wind gusts eventually blew it out ofview. Apparently, the superficially similar male Erynnis horatius does not have anything like an outstanding forewing cell spot. As for Erynnis baptisiae, I was in the fortunate position of having a nearby colony for comparison. This species tends to be a two-tone brown in colour (dark inner and light outer) generally and the forewing cell spot is usually not so obvious. Also, they appear smaller and the forewings have a stubbier appearance. On August 27th, I was checking the nearby Wild Indigo Duskywing colony in an open flower-strewn valley and I encountered briefly a rather large black duskywing with longish tapered forewings on flowers before it flew off This was very likely the same Zarucco Duskywing but unfortunately this time I could neither positively identify, nor re-Iocate it. One fact mayor may not be significant, but in both adjacent observation areas and acknowledged host, Black Locust (Robina pseudo-acacia) is well represented in all sizes. 4.2 Update on the Wild Indigo Dusky Wing to Toronto by Barry Harrison This spring, I could not find any evidence of Erynnis baptisiae in the most frequented locale of last autumn. Therefore, on August 17th, I was rather surprised to see a single individual at the most favoured spot from last year. Within a few days, Leon Schlichter noticed a few more in an adjacent open ravine. It soon became apparent that there were more in the ravine than at the 1998 site. About two weeks later, I found a patch ofCrown Vetch (Coroni/la varia) about eight feet in diameter on the steep hillside linking the two areas. 10 Then, on August 25th, run Fairchild discovered a second colony in the Rouge Valley and a subsequent search turned up a good patch of Crown Vetch close by. This colony, like the original, may have also been here for two years, or it may be an offshoot of the first. Unfortunately, no first (or early) brood records are available. Closer observation ofthese colonies next spring may indicate that overwintering is occurring, thereby clearing up any suppositions as to the status ofthis species in the Tcronto area.

Catling On 10 July 1999, I observed a female ofthe Delaware Skipper for 20 minutes during which it laid 10 eggs on flowering and non-flowering plants of Redtop (Agrostis gigantea), 2 eggs on non-flowering plants of Slender Wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus) and 2 eggs on non-flowering plants of Glomerate Satin Grass (Muhlenbergia glomerata). Redtop is a widespread grass of moist open habitats that is generally considered to be introduced and has been grown as forage. Wheatgrass is a native widespread species of natural open habitats including sand barrens, shores, prairies and rocky, open woods. Glomerate Satin Grass is a native species of mesic to wet, open areas including fens, prairies, wet meadows and shores. The observations were made in a sandy opening in Red Cedar succession on dunes and the grasses occurred together in a mesic sandy interdunal meadow. 11 In Ontario Delaware Skippers occur mainly in the Carolinian region (Holmes et al. 1991). Reported foodplants (Scott1986, Holmes et al.1991, Layberry et al.1998) include the prairie grasses Wooly Beard Grass (Erianthus spp,), Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and Blue stem (Andropogon gerardii). Although oviposition does not necessarily indicate use as a larval foodplant, it is still a useful suggestion. Ifthe grasses upon which the female oviposited did serve as larval foodplants, it would be the first reported use by Delaware Skipper ofnon-native grass, and would help to explain the occurrence of Delaware Skippers in places where the distinctive reported prairie grass foodplants do not occur. The occurrence of Delaware Skippers may be more attributable to extensive scrub and rich mesic meadow habitats on sandy soils prone to moisture extremes than to specific grass foodplants.

Jones The following list documents significant butterfly records (i.e. early or late dates, as well as rare species) from Algonquin Provincial Park in the 1999 season. As was the case in 1998, 1999 began with very warm spring weather and as a result, many species experienced record early flights. At least one new species was added to the Park's list - Olympia Marble. Remarkably, it was first dis-covered on the same day on both the East Side of the Park by Jason Dombroskie, and on the Highway 60 corridor by Rick and Kelly Stronks! Pending confirmation of identity, a second species, Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos) may also be added to the Park's list - full details below. Records of both Eastern Tailed Blue (on each oftwo dates) and Common Buckeye (one date) represent only the second time these species have been recorded in the Park. Both species had first been seen and collected in the late 1950s by Chris Durden. Our knowledge ofthe butterflies on the East Side ofAlgonquin has grown considerably thanks to several spring trips by Jason Dombroskie, accompanied on one occasion by William Godsoe, and to the fact that the Park's summer staffare present there more often. Observer's names are provided in abbreviated form and following the accounts is 'a complete list of the abbreviations and the respective observers. I wish to thank all of my fellow Naturalist staff in Algonquin for being so keen about butterflies and for all of the great fun we have shared while collecting records and building upon our knowledge of this group ofinsects. Here is to many more exciting discoveries in the future! 12 Columbine Duskywing (Erynnis lucilius) - (Beechnut Lake Rd.) May 22 (1 seen~ record early) (JID, WG). This species, which is only known from the East Side ofAlgonquin Park, probably flies earlier, but the East Side has received little coverage in the past, especially in the spring. A good illustration ofthis point is that the first substantiated Park record of this species, which is now known to be relatively common on the East Side, was not until 1997! Least Skipper (Ancyloxypha numitor) - (Radiant Lake) Sept. 8 (2 seen, 1 coll.~ record late by 13 days) (OCT, COl) European Skipper (Thymelicus lineola) - (Algonquin Visitor Centre) June 16 (many seen; record early by 2 days) (OCT, CJR, AMK) Common Branded Skipper (Hesperia comma) - (old Barclay Estate, Rock Lake) Sept. 4 (1 seen; record late by 11 days) (CJR) Leonard's Skipper (Hesperia leonardus) - (Trailer Sanitary Station - Highway 60 & old Whitefish mill site, Whitefish Lake) Aug. 30 (1 seen at each location~ tied record late date) (JID et al.) Two-spotted Skipper (Euphyes bimacula) - (Basin Rd. - several locations) June 21 (8 seen~ tied record early date (CDJ et al.) Mustard White (Pieris oleracea) - (White Pine Lake) May 2 (3 seen; record early by 22 days) (JID) Olympia Marble (Euchloe olympia) - FIRST PARK RECORD - (hydrocut at several locations between Batise L. and Greenleafportage) May 16 (9 seen) OID); also (north ofHwy 60 at km 8) May 16 (1 colI.) (TRS, KS) & at the same location on May 23 (2 seen) (TRS, LP) Clouded Sulphur (Colias philodice) - (Basin Rd. and hydrocut between Basin Rd. and GreenleafLake) May 16 (6 seen~ record early by 9 days) (JID) Orange Sulphur (Colias eurytheme) - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (12 seen; record early by 3 days) (m.obs.); (old Airfield, Lake ofTwo Rivers) Sept. 22 (1 seen; record late by 21 days) (RGT, OCT). This species is not common in Algonquin, and this fact, combined with the lack of observers in both the spring and the autumn probably account for the paucity ofrecords outside ofthe summer months. Harvester (Feniseca tarquinius) - rare in Algonquin - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (2 seen) (CJR, TRS, KS) American Copper (Lycaena phlaeas) - (East Side Butterfly Count - hydrocut) June 5 (13 seen; record early) (m. obs.). As is the case with Columbine Duskywing, this species is known almost exclusively from the hydrocut on the East Side ofthe Park and due to a lack of observers there in the spring, we have a paucity ofspring records. Bog Copper (Lycaena epixanthe) - (Argue Lake) June 21 (many; tied the record early date) (CDJ et at.) Banded Hairstreak (Satyrium calanus) - (Rock L. Rd.) July 4 (1 seen; record early by 1 day) (MTJJ, CJR, RS) 13 Brown Elfin (Callophrys augustinus) - (old Airfield, Lake of Two Rivers) Apr. 30 (4 seen; record early by 4 days) (CDJ, TRS) Eastern Pine Elfin (Callophrys niphon) - (on road to Dahlia, north ofBeechnut Lake) Apr. 25 (1 seen; record early by 20 days) OID) Western Pine Elfin (Callophrys eryphon) - (on road to Dahlia, north of Beechnut Lake) Apr. 25 (1 seen; record early by 13 days) OID) Grey Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) - (hydrocut halfway between Batise L. and Barron L. portage) May 16 (1 seen; record early by 2 days) OID); (Achray) July 7 (1 seen; record late by 7 days) (WG) Spring Azure (Ce/astrina /adon) - (old CN railway south ofDahlia) Apr. 25 (1 seen; record early by 4 days) OID) Summer Azure (Ce/astrina neg/ecta) - (hydrocut near Batise L.) June 21 (1 colI; record early by 14 days) (CDJ et al.) Eastern Tailed Blue (Everes comyntas) - (6 locations on the highway 60 butterfly count) July 3 (6 caught, 4 colI; SECOND PARK RECORD and first since the late 1950s) (m. obs.); (old Airfield, Lake ofTwo Rivers) July 8 (1 seen) (WG) Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybe/e) - (East Side Butterfly Count - hydrocut) June 5 (1 seen; extremely early - 22 days earlier than earliest record) (DB, MC, RGT); (Hwy 60 - km 8) June 20 (1 colI.; also very early for Algonquin) (CDJ) Aphrodite Fritillary (Speyeria aphrodite) - (old Airfield, Lake of Two Rivers) Sept. 3 (several very worn; record late by 4 days)OID et al.) Silver-bordered Fritillary (Boloria selene) - (Beechnut Lake Rd.) May 22 (3 seen; record early by 9 days) OID, WG) Meadow Fritillary (B%ria bellona) - (hydrocut near Barron L.) May 16 (1 seen; record early by an incredible 49 days) OID). Like Columbine Duskywing and American Copper, we are lacking spring records ofthis species as it is associated mostly with the hydrocut on the East Side ofthe Park - an area seldom visited by observers in the spring. Silvery Checkerspot (Ch/osyne nycteis) - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (736 seen!; record early by 3 days - obviously had started flying earlier) (m.obs.) Harris's Checkerspot (Chlosyne harrisii) - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (17 seen; record early by 3 days) (m.obs.) Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos) - Identification needs confirmation. Five males showing characters of this species were collected in Algonquin this summer. All have black, broadly clubbed antennae, all but one have a complete or nearly complete postmedian-submarginal line on the upper hindwing, and all have a relatively thin dark patch on the outer edge ofthe under hindwing, within which is a silvery crescent. If these are in fact P. tharos, these records would represent a range extension ofthis species in Ontario. 14 The first individuals believed to be Pearl Crescents were seen on July 13 when three fresh (1 collected) were found at the old mill site at Whitefish Lake (CDJ, CJR). Another fresh individual was collected at the Trailer Sanitary Station, Hwy 60 on July 21 (JJD). Two slightly worn individuals were collected on the East Side of the Park on July 24 (one at Forbes Creek, the other at Radiant L.) (JID). Finally, two were seen (1 collected, worn) on Sept. 8 at Odenbach, Radiant L. (CDJ, DCT). Individuals believed to be Northern Crescents (P. cocyta), the expected species in Algonquin (although not common), were seen on June 5 (167 seen on the East Side Butterfly Count - m.obs.) and again on June 19 and 21 (CDJ et al.). Green Comma (Polygoniafaunus) - (Opeongo Road at the Cameron Lake Rd.) Apr. 28 (1 colI.; record early by 3 days) (TRS) Grey Comma (Polygonia progne) - (hydrocut near Barron L.) May 16 (1 seen; record early by 5 days) (JID) Compton Tortoiseshell (Nymphalis vau-album) - (Opeongo Road) Mar. 28 (3 seen; record early by 9 days) (JID) Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) - (old mill site, Whitefish Lake) July 20 (1 relatively fresh; SECOND PARK RECORD) (CDJ, TRS) White Admiral (Limenitis arthemis) - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (7 seen; record early by 3 days) (m.obs.) Viceroy (Limenitis archippus) - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (8 seen; record early by 3 days) (m.obs.); (Odenbach, Radiant L.) Sept. 8 (1 seen; record late by 8 days) (DCT) Northern Pearly-Eye (Enodia anthedon) - (Basin Lake) June 21 (1 seen; record early by 2 days) (CDJ et al.) Eyed Brown (Satyrodes eurydice) - (Basin Rd. and hydrocut near Batise L) June 21 (11 seen, 1 coli.; tied record early date) (AMK, CDJ et al.) Common Ringlet (Coenonympha tullia) - (East Side Butterfly Count) June 5 (37 seen; record early by 3 days) (m.obs.); (pLE Pond, east gate) Sept. 12 (1 colI., dark morph; record late by 22 days) (CDJ). Apart from a sight record of one individual on Aug. 21, 1998 (WG), this is the only year in which the second generation has been noted to fly in Algonquin. In 1999, the second generation was first represented by a very fresh individual near the East Gate on August 18 (JID, MWPR). There were five additional records from various locations before the last record (noted above) on September 12.

Brownell The Karner Blue has not been seen in Ontario since 1991 and is believed to be extirpated. It occurred in southwestern Ontario Holmes et al. 1991) in west Toronto, near London, in the Grand Bend - Port Franks area and in the vicinity of St. Williams on the Walsingham sand plains (Figure 1). It may be reintroduced into its former range, but interestingly its former range may be greater in Ontario than once suspected. Populations are generally associated with Lupine (Lupinus perennis), and in Ontario Lupine occurs in the southwest, but also in the area ofthe Rice Lake Plains. These plains, north of central Lake Ontario, were an extensive prairie and savanna area prior to settlement (Catling et al. 1992) where Lupine was once very abundant and widespread, but Karner Blue has never been associated with these populations of Lupine which were probably the most extensive in Ontario. This is at least partly attributable to the fact that Lupine was not mapped in the Rice Lake area by Dunn and Gillet (1966), probably due to the lack ofa specimen at the time his map was made. The prairies and savannas of the Rice Lake area were largely destroyed by the tum ofthe century (1900), but recently small (1-30 plants) relict populations of Lupine have been discovered in the area (Brownell & Blaney 1996). These do not support populations of Karner Blue, based on extensive and comprehensive field study by many entomologists including the late W.J.D. Eberlie (pers. comm. and 1975) who was well familiar with this region, and Karner Blue does not appear on butterfly lists for the area (Eberlie 1975, Brownell 1996). Karner Blue was apparently included with the Northern Blue (Lycaeides idas) as Lycaena scudderi by Rev. C.J.S. Bethune in 1894. He reported locations at Nipigon, London, Toronto, Cobourg, north shore of the St. Lawrence, Anticosti, Labrador, Hudson Bay, and Cape Breton. Based on our current knowledge of the distribution of the similar Northern Blue which does not extend south of 49 0 N (Layberry et al. 1998), the London, Toronto, and Cobourg reports must have referred to the Karner Blue, but there was evidently no specimen to document the Cobourg report (Riotte 1967). Considering (1) the lack of specimens to document the report of the butterfly or its foodplant in the Rice Lake area, (2) the apparent absence ofthe foodplant in the Rice Lake area based on the Dunn and Gillet (1966) map, (3) confusion with another species the distribution of which was unclear, and (4) possibly a lack of familiarity with the location of Cobourg, it is not surprising that the Cobourg report (Figure 1) was overlooked. In fact there is good reason to accept Bethune's reprt (Figure 1) as a plausible (or even likely) literature report. Cobourg was the nearest major settlement to the Rice Lake Plains in 1832 when Catherine Parr Traill travelled north in a more or less straight line to Rice Lake noting that "the extensive grassy flats (Hamilton township) were brilliant with the azure hues of Lupine" (Catling et al. 1992). The extensive and continuous plains existed 12 km north of Cobourg. The plains would likely been referenced as "Cobourg" in the early days, since it was the nearest settlement of appreciable size. Ofcourse there may also have been smaller outliers ofprairie and savanna near to Port Hope and Cobourg in the early days of settlement. Lupine on the Rice Lake Plains extended from Gore's Landing to Castleton, where noted as 16 common by John Macoun in 1883 (Catling et al. 1992). Remnant populations ofLupine on the plains are currently present near Gores Landing and Harwood. Prior to 1850 Karner Blue may have extended over the entire area (at least 172 km2) of the Rice Lake Plains. It could have been one of the largest populations in the northeast. It would also have been one ofthe northernmost locations in the northeast (along with Clayton on the St. Lawrence River in Jefferson County where reported by Forbes in1960). Large areas ofcounty forest in the Rice Lake area were inappropriately planted with Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) which has reproduced forming a dense forest to the exclusion of most native flora of the region. Other extensive areas were planted with dense stands ofRed Pine (Pinus resinosa) which could be thinned to 5-10% to restore the original savanna. The likelihood ofsuccessfully restoring the butterfly and its habitat in this area is good given the extensive areas, potential connectivity and occurrence of relict habitat.

Their food plant, Milkweed, is very scarce and local. I planted some Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) in my garden a few years ago to attract nectaring butterflies and perhaps Monarchs, and had a few ofthe former, but no Monarchs, until this year. On June 9, I noticed about 15 Monarch eggs on the plants, although I had not seen any adults. On June 26 a female Monarch was ovipositing on the plants; another was doing the same the next day, still laying eggs at 8 p.m. By then many larvae were also present. On July 17 I saw the first freshly emerged 18 Monarch adult, nectaring on the Milkweed flowers. Eggs were still present on July 26, presumably laid by the new generation ofadults. On July 31 I counted over 100 larvae ofall sizes. My Milkweed plants were rapidly being defoliated. I was puzzled by the lack ofpupae, as I had not found a single one on any of the plants. The mystery was solved on August 8 when Stan Phippen and I found at least 20 pupae hanging from other plants in the vicinity ofthe Milkweeds. The pupae were quite hidden in fairly dense foliage, under horizontal green leaves ofvarious types, six to twelve inches above the ground. Day lilies were a favourite, where the leaves arched over in criss-cross tangles. The furthest pupa we found was on a Petunia plant about 2S m from the nearest Milkweed. One full-grown larva parked itself on a wooden trellis. It remained motionless at this location from Aug. 8 and was hanging by the cremaster on Aug. 10. On Aug. 11 it had pupated to its bright green chrysalis. r By Aug. 31 it turned a dusky colour, then black on Sept. 1. The next day, Sept. 2, 22 days after pupation, the adult emerged. By August 27 there was only one larva left on the almost-completely defoliated Milkweed plants. Over the next few days many adults emerged, and left immediately, presumably heading south. The last adult I saw in the garden was on Sept. 4. Several other people in Thunder Bay noticed larvae on their (ornamental) milkweed plants, for the first time ever; one lady had her picture on the front page ofthe local newspaper admiring her little Monarch larvae pets. It was clearly an unprecedented year for Monarchs in Thunder Bay. I estimate that my poor little stand of20 Milkweed plants produced about 200 Monarch butterflies this year. On July 31 I visited Thunder Bay's Chippewa landfill site on the Lake Superior shore, hoping to find a colony ofthe Bronze Copper (Hyllolycaena hyllus). I found one female only, but was surprised to see 2 Buckeyes (Junonia coenia), one fairly fresh and one very worn. Both were territorial males, patrolling sections ofthe gravel paths that criss-cross the grass fields. The next day, August 1, I discovered another worn individual at Mission Island, another waterfront location just north ofChippewa. On August 8 Stan Phippen and I searched the Thunder Bay waterfront specifically for Buckeyes, and found 5 individuals, 2 at Mission Island, and 3 a bit further north yet, at the McIntyre River floodway. All were quite fresh. On August 11 I found 3 individuals at Mission Island, and on the 21 st I found 7 Buckeyes along gravel paths and railway tracks on the Thunder Bay waterfront, between the McIntyre River floodway and the P&H Elevator. They were fresh to worn. The last one I saw was Sept. 1, in the same area. I found no more after that, despite several visits to these areas. This was an unprecedented invasion ofBuckeyes to Thunder Bay. We had only 2 previous individual records from Thunder Bay 4.7 Notes on the ecology & distribution of Callophrys gryneus (Hubner) in Northumberland Co. By Malcolm D. Campbell Callophrys gryneus is known in Ontario from Essex County in the south-west, and several counties in the eastern part ofthe province (Holmes et al. 1991, Riotte 1992). The only known larval host plants are species of Juniperus (Opler, 1998). C. gryneus is presently considered to be rare in Ontario, and is tracked by the Natural Heritage Information Centre with the designated rank ofS2 (Holder & Sutherland, 1998). On June 9/1999, the Author, along with fellow TEA member Joseph Macchiusi, observed large numbers of C. gryneus in Northumberland County in the general vicinity of Campbellford. Between 10:00- 14:00 hr., a total of76 e. gryneus were seen. Adults ofe. gryneus were observed feeding on the 19 blossoms ofAchillea millefolium, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, and Viburnum rafinesquianum, with the overwhelming majority (53), preferring C. leucanthemum, which is interesting as this plant is an invasive species native to Eurasia. Also ofnote was the fact that no specimens were found by 'tapping' or vigorously shaking branches of J. virginiana, a technique often employed when searching for this butterfly (Opler, 1998). Individuals which were startled while feeding exhibited the fast, darting flight typical ofLycaenidae. Areas where sightings of C. gryneus occurred were typically open or semi-open areas dominated by Quercus macrocarpa, Juniperus virginiana, Zanthoxylum americanum, Comus foemina and Symphoricarpos albus. Less abundant, but present at many sites were: Carya ovata, Viburnum rafinesquianum, Rhus aromatica, Ceanothus americanus (particularly by roadsides), and Quercus muehlenbergii. Invariably, all these species were found growing in soils derived from limestone. Although considered to be only locally abundant in Ontario (Holmes et. aI., 1991), several demes for C. gryneus were found within a considerable distance of Campbellford. In terms of Lycaenidae, the large numbers ofthis hairstreak seen in only four hours have only been exceeded by Ce/astrina argio/us, in the Author's experience. Another factor which may account for relatively few sightings of C. gryneus is the fact that the adults may all emerge within a short space oftime, and with a briefflight period. This would make observation difficult ifno one was present at the right time to record the event. Considerable areas of eastern Ontario contain suitable habitat for C. gryneus where J. virginiana is common. In addition, there are portions ofthis region that are poorly known entomologically.. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that C. gryneus is more numerous than previous distribution data might suggest. Its presumed scarcity may be due to a lack offield observations, as opposed to actual rarity. References: Holder, M. and D. Sutherland. 1998. Tracking rare insects in Ontario.

In total an astonishing 65 species were found, the highest ever for a single season (1998 was also considered exceptional, with a total of "only" 59 species). To put this in perspective, the original "The Butterflies ofPoint Pelee National Park, Ontario" (Wormington 1983) listed 68 species; this total is based on all known records dating back to 1882. In other words, in the 100-year period of 1882 to 1982 20 inclusive a total of68 species was recorded; in 1999 alone there were 65 species recorded! The trend of earlier and warmer spring weather -- perhaps combined with hotter summers -- is probably responsible for the ongoing series of record early and record late dates, plus the apparent continuation each year of an increasing array ofimmigrants from the south. Specific Observations Silver-spotted Skipper: One (extremely fresh) on the exceptional date ofOctober 30 (Stephen T. Pike, Henrietta T. O'Neill) was record-late for Point Pelee and Ontario. Juvenal's Dusky-Wing: Most years this species is not recorded at all, so a sudden influx starting on May 6 ofobvious immigrants (Alan Wormington et al.) was most unusual; the (8) recorded on May 21 (RTO) was a record-high count for Point Pelee. Horace's Dusky-Wing: With few prior records for Ontario, the (5) individuals recorded this year were remarkable; these were recorded on July 6 (AW), July 7 (RTO), July 11 (AW), July 17 (Lloyd Brown-John) and August 30 (RTO). Wild Indigo Dusky-Wing: Single immigrants were recorded on June 29 (AW) and August 18-20 (HTO). Common Checkered-Skipper: A fresh individual found at the Sparrow Field on October 29 (HTO) was record-late for Point Pelee and Ontario; the species has been recorded previously at Point Pelee only in 1953, 1954 and 1975. Least Skipper: Record high count of(73) on August 7 (Butterfly Count) Fiery Skipper: This year's incursion was the largest on record, with the first (very early) on June 6 (AW et al.), followed by a remarkable (14) just two days later on June 8 (AW, HTO); one on October 29 (RTO) was record late for Point Pelee. The high count for the season was (41) on September 26 (AW, STP). Tawny-edged Skipper: One (extremely fresh male) on September 26 was an obvious stray (AW, STP); although locally common elsewhere in Essex County, the species has been recorded previously at Point Pelee only in 1980 and 1981. Pipevine Swallowtail: An exceptional influx began on the record-early date ofMay 6 (Robert W. Stamp, Richard G. Snider), followed by numbers immediately thereafter; observations continued to September 23 (AW) with high counts of (15) on May 8 (many observers) and (16) on July 6 (AW). The literature suggests that the first brood is mostly sedentary; therefore, ifthis influx initially involved a second brood, the source ofthese individuals must have been the southern United States. Black Swallowtail: One very early on April 27 (HTO); record count of (40) on August 7 (Butterfly Count). Spicebush Swallowtail: Record count of(72) on August 7 (Butterfly Count). Cloudless Sulphur: One (fresh male) on July 25 (AW, JNF); this species has become much more regular in recent years. Little Sulphur: Recorded from June 7 to September 27, with a high counts of(45) on June 8 (AW, HTO) and (30) on July 6 (AW). Harvester: One on June 18 was the fourth Point Pelee record. Hickory Hairstreak: One (fairly fresh male) on June 25 (AW) was not only record early, but only the fifth record for Point Pelee. Olive Hairstreak: One on May 3 (Linda Wladorski) was record early by eleven days; one (extremely fresh) on July 11 (AW) tied the early date for the start ofthe second brood. Southern (Northern) Hairstreak: One (worn male) at the west side ofthe Tip on June 14 (HTO, AW) is a new species for Point Pelee; this individual was nectaring on the flowers ofStaghom Sumac. Despite 21 several Ontario reports in the literature, the only other specimen known for the province is the type specimen collected in 1868 (131 years ago!) at Port Stanley, Elgin County. White-M Hairstreak: Recorded previously at Point Pelee only in 1960 and 1992, individuals were found on June 18 (Barbara J. Casier, AW), June 28 (HTO, AW), August 6 (HTO) and August 9 (HTO); the August individuals were very fresh, suggesting that they were derived from immigrants that arrived in June. Gray Hairstreak: Again another exceptional year for the species, with a record (24) counted on August 9 (HTO) and a record late observation on November 1 (HTO). Marine Blue: One (female) found dead on July 31, caught and killed by a crab spider on White Sweet Clover (Jay Cossey); recorded previously at Point Pelee (and Ontario) only in 1993. Snout Butterfly: Recorded record early on May 15 (Colin D. Jones) and very late on November 9 (HTO). Variegated Fritillary: Several reports with (3) on July 7 (AW, HTO) and a record late individual seen almost daily on October 27 to November 9 (HTO et al.). Great Spangled Fritillary: One record early on June 15 (HTO), and a record high count of (63) on June 29 (AW). Orange (Northern) Crescent: One (not fresh female) on the record early date ofMay 8 (AW); the worn condition suggests that it was an immigrant from the south, along with numerous Juvenal's Dusky-Wings, Pipevine Swallowtails, etc., during the same time. Baltimore: Only the third record for Point Pelee (previous records in 1931 and 1994), one (not fresh female) was found on June 10; the very early date and worn condition suggests that it originated from the south. Question Mark: Record late for PointPelee and Ontario were (3) on November 22 and (1) still present on November 23 (HTO). Eastern Comma: One late individual on December 9 (AW). Gray Comma: One on August 7 (Tom Hanrahan et al.), was the first Point Pelee record since 1992. Compton Tortoise-Shell: One (extremely fresh) on June 20 was record early for the start of the first brood (AW et al.). Mourning Cloak: An exceptional count (record high) of (44) were counted on September 18 (STP, AW); curiously there were very few individuals noted the day before or day after this observation. Red Admiral: One (fresh) very late on November 12 (HTO). Common Buckeye: Very common all season - the highest count (60) on the very late date of Oct. 16 (HTO). Common Wood-Nymph: One (extremely fresh male) on June 22 tied the record early date (AW). Observers mentioned in text LBJ Lloyd Brown-John Leamington HTO Henrietta T.

[40] May 30, June 10 (JJD); seen from June 11 to Sept. 26 in relatively low numbers (WIM); A major flight occurred in J eastern Ontario on Sept. 12, 13 & 14, with many hundreds of individuals seen flying southeast. 43 flew over a point west of Metcalfe in 20 min. on the 12th and the flight evidently continued at that strength from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day. It was estimated that at least 400 - 500 passed over a line 30 m wide each day and such a·line could be drawn at many places between Vernon & Leitrim. The number of J 52 individuals crossing a 10 km stretch ofHwy. 31 on these three days was estimated to be at least 150,000 and could have been over a million. It was the largest movement ofMonarchs seen in eastern Ontario in several years. The flight was preceded by a few weeks of hot dry weather, then a week ofrain followed by a day or two of partial clearing. On Sept. 19th, Monarchs were much less common than in the same area and only 2 were seen in an hour. ******************** , Figure 5.

SELECTED REPORTS OF MOTHS IN ONTARIO 1998 Compiled by Duncan Robertson The selection comprises all reports received of species of Hepialidae, Alucitidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, J Saturniidae, Sphingidae, CatocaIa, and Schinia, and a few other species similarly large, colourful, or otherwise striking; reports of species that have not yet or seldom been reported in these pages; and species for which the report gives evidence ofthe larval foodplant. The species are arranged, numbered, and (with the exception ofthe genus Grammia) named as in Ronald W. Hodges et al., Check List ofthe Lepidoptera ofAmerica North ofMexico (1983). Generic and/or specific names in square brackets have superseded the names in Hodges. The names ofspecies not found in Hodges are preceded by a long dash and sometimes followed by a proposed Hodges number in square brackets; those now located in another genus are preceded by their Hodges number and sometimes followed by a proposed new Hodges number in square brackets. Changes in higher classifications have been left unacknowledged. The county or district is indicated by a bold number before the placenames. Reporters are identified by initials. Such initials and other material in square brackets after a placename or county number apply to all the dates for that place or county, except that initials in round brackets after a date supersede, for that date, preceding initials in square brackets, or, if prefixed by "+", indicate a joint reporter or reporters with those initialized in the square brackets. Some reports for 1997 or earlier, but not received until 1998, are included. Sixdigit numbers indicate the year, month, and day and may be abbreviated to four digits for just the year and month or two digits for just the year. Hypenated date numbers indicate inclusive dates. Fourdigit numbers after a semicolon indicate a month and day in the same year; twodigit numbers after a comma indicate a day in the same month. Other information (in round brackets or square) is abbreviated thus: sev. = several, m = male, f = female, It =incandescent light, uv =ultraviolet light, mv = mercuryvapour light, c = collected, p = photographed, iden. = species identified by, ver. = identity verified by, and colI. = identified by consulting the collection of). A/ before mv, uv, or It means in combination with the type of light indicated in the preceding square brackets. Bracketed numbers after a date or before bracketed initials indicate the number ofspecimens reported, "/+" meaning "or more". The absence ofa number indicates a report of one specimen, but "1" followed by a comma is used to indicate a specimen to which the information after the comma (including initials prefixed by "+") does not apply. In general, bracketed J elements separated by a comma refer to different specimens.

CONCISE CYCLICAL SUMMARY OF REPORTS OF MOTHS IN ONTARIO: Epiplemidae to Lymantriidae 1994-98 (with some supplementary reports for earlier years) Compiled by Duncan Robertson The remarks introductory to the "Selected Reports of Moths" apply here as well, except so far as the information is here abbreviated. Places are distinguished only by county and dates only by year and month, and information within round brackets is limited to the number of specimens and initials of· reporters. After the county number, a fourdigit number indicates the year and month (or a twodigit number, the year alone); a twodigit number after that (and after a comma), a subsequent month. A hyphenated fourdigit number indicates inclusive years or months, and a hypenated sixdigit number indicates inclusive months within a year. Initials before yeardates function somewhat similarly to initials in square brackets in the "Selected Reports": with the exception of dates followed immediately by bracketed initials not preceded by "+", they apply to all dates for the county unless and until different initials supervene before a later yeardate.
