Catocala luciana from Minneapolis (Lep.) 



In the fall of 1913 I had the good fortune to take a number of 

 specimens of Catocala luciana H. Edw. and its subform so minis 

 Dodge. All the specimens were taken while at rest on the several 

 bridges spanning Minnehaha Creek at Minneapolis. In 1914 but very 

 few specimens were taken, as they appeared in very small numbers. 



The species seem to be of a very local distribution here, being 

 confined to an area bordering the creek of about half a mile long 

 and about 200 feet wide. At least no specimens have been either seen 

 or taken outside of this area as far as I know. The nearest locality 

 from which the species has been reported is Nevada, Iowa (Berry). 

 How the species happened to become established here along beautiful 

 Minnehaha Creek is difficult to understand. JOHN W. FRANZEN,
