4 i2 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 







LIMENITIS Fabr. 



L. Ursula Gdt. More or less common throughout the State, May to Sep- 

 tember. The larva hibernates, becomes full grown early in May and 

 produces adults late May and June. Second brood adults appear in 

 late July and continue to September. Food plants are apple, plum, 

 cherry, willow, poplar, oak, thorn, huckleberry, etc. 



var. albofascia Newc. Staten Island VIII, 25 (Ds) ; East Brunswick 

 VIL.29 (Dow); Hoboken (Wr) ; Chester VIII (Dn). This variety has 

 probably been mistaken for "arthemis" in times past, and by its com- 

 plete white fascia it resembles that species quite strongly. 



L. arthemis Dm. Schooley's Mt. (Aaron); Andover VIII (Kr). It is 

 probable that this is occasionally found among the hills in the ex- 

 treme northern parts of the State; the larva on willow and thorn. 



L. prose rpina W. H. Edw. An occasional companion of the preceding 

 and generally believed to be a variety of it. Others believe it to be 

 a distinct species, feeding on apple, and so I have listed it here. 



L. archippus Cram. More or less common throughout the State VI-X. 

 Hibernates as larva, which becomes full grown in May and produces 

 adults in June; second brood from late July on. Larva on apple, 

 plum, thorn, willow, poplar, oak, gooseberry, huckleberry, etc. 



APATURA Fabr. 

 A. clyton Bd. Lee. Larva nunrerous on "Celtis" at Maplewood (Doll). 



l 



Family SATYRID^. 



These are the woodland butterflies modest gray or blackish species 

 with eye-spots above and below and the veins at the base of the wings 

 inflated. They are brush-footed as completely as the previous family, 

 and the chrysalis is suspended by the tail alone. There are no injurious 

 species. 



DEBIS Westw. 



D. portlandia Fab. Local throughout the State; not rare. Newfound- 

 land VII, 27 (Ds); Paterson VII, 16, VIII, 17 (Gr) ; Elizabeth VII 

 (Bz) ; 5-mile beach VII (Haim). There is only a single brood (Bt) 

 and the larva feeds on grasses. Mr. Davis says the species is not 

 found on State.n Island. 



NEONYMPHA Westw. 



N. canthus Bd. Lee. Occurs throughout the State, June to September, 

 but hardly common. Specific records extend from Hopatcong to 

 Cape May and in every summer month. The larva feeds on grasses. 

 and Mr. Beutenmuller gives one brood only.
