ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF CRANBERRY, N. C., BIT- 



TERFLIES. 



BY LANCASTER THOMAS, Philadelphia, Peuua. 



In ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS, 4,80,1894, Dr. Henry Skinner gave a 

 listof the butterflies taken at Cranberry, Mitchell county, North 

 Carolina, in the two weeks extending- from July 7th to July 21st. 

 This list contained the names of thirty -one species. Since that 

 time I have visited Cranberry every season, and remained there 

 from June until October, and collected nearly every favorable day. 

 In addition to the list given by Dr. Skinner I can now add thirty- 

 five species as follows, making a total of sixty -live species for this 

 locality. 



LIST. 



Agraulis vauillae I Colias caesonia 



Melitaea phaeton Terias jncuuda 



Phyciodes nycteis Terias delia 



Thecla m-album Pamphila campestris 



Thecla calanus Pamphila zabu Ion 



Thecla poeas Pamphila phylaeus 



Feniseca tarquiuius Pamphila accius 



Vanessa antiopa Pamphila fusca 



Grapta interrogationis Pamphila peckius 



Grapta comma Pamphila verna 



Grapta progue Pholisora catullus 



Pyramies cardui Nisouiades juveualis 



Junonia coeuia Nisoniades petrouius 



Neonympha eurytus Amblyscirtes vialis 



Satyrus alope Pyrgus ttssellata 



Pieris protodice Eudamus pylades 



Callidryas eubule Eudamus bathyllus 



Eudamus lycidas 



It will be noticed that in the above list there occurs three species 

 that are new to the locality,one Grapta prot/ne, reported byScudder 

 and Holland as not having been taken south of Pennsylvania, and 

 the other two Terias jucunda and delia, reported so far from the 

 gulf States only. P.progne can be taken in proper season in large 

 numbers, &udji<cunda and delta were taken here last season, in nil 

 about a dozen specimens. Argynius diana is also found here and is 

 sometimes plentiful, but for the summers of '97 and '98 rather scarce, 

 but unusually large and fine. 



The altitude, 3,250 feet at Cranberry, makes the fauna of the re- 

 gion almost Canadian in character, and therefore the more remark- 

 able that butterflies of the north and the extreme south should be 

 found flying together.
