25. Charidryas nycteis Doubl.-Hew. Fairly common ; two broods ; 

 one in June, the other in August. 



26. Charidryas ismcria Bd.-Lec. Rare at Omaha, although a short 

 distance west it is found abundantly. 



27. Phyciodes vesta Edw. A single specimen ( 9 ) taken July 14, 

 1912. Upper side is identical with fig. 18, PI. XVII, Holland's "But- 

 terfly Book," while both upper side and under side agree with figures of 

 summer form shown in Edwards' "Butt. N. A." 



28. Phyciodes tharos Dru. Common in May, but not as plentiful 

 as var. morpheus is later in the season. 



28-a. Phyciodes tharos, var. morpheus Fab. Very common ; on the 

 wing from July till October. 



29. Anthanassa texana Edw. But two specimens taken; one ( 9 ) by 

 Mr. F. H. Shoemaker, Mar. 27, 1910, one ( $ ) by the writer, Sept. 

 14, 1911; both are fresh specimens. Explaining the early date of the 

 1910 capture, it should be stated that abnormally warm weather pre- 

 vailed during the latter half of March of that year, bringing butter- 

 flies out about three weeks earlier than usual. 



30. Polygonia interrogations Fab. Common; flies from the middle 

 of August till October, then hibernates. 



30-a. Polygonia interrogationis, var. umbrosa Lint. Common; flies 

 from latter part of May till July. 



31. Polygonia comma Harris Common; appears early in Sept. and 

 flies till freezing weather, when it hibernates and flies again early the 

 following spring. 



3i-a. Polygonia comma, var. dryas Edw. This form is found from 

 the middle of June till the end of July, but is not nearly as numerous 

 as the preceding. 



32. Euvanessa antiopa Linn. Common ; two broods, first appearing 

 the latter half of June ; second, the middle of August, the latter hiber- 

 nating. 



33. Vanessa atalanta Linn. Very common ; several broods, the in- 

 sect being on the wing from April or May till October. 



34. Vanessa huntera Fab. Some years fairly common and other 

 years not found at all; flies from May till October. 



35. Vanessa cardni Linn. Common in most years, but scarce in 

 others ; several broods for it can be found from April till October. 



36. Junonia coenia Hub. Can usually be found late in August and 

 throughout September, but is also found in June and July, so there 

 must be two broods. 



37. Basilarchia astyanax Fab. Common ; found from the middle of 

 June till the middle of September. Two broods, the second making its 

 appearance about the middle of August. 



38. Basilarchia archippns Cram. Common ; two broods ; seasons 

 nearly the same as the foregoing species.
