Apatura clyton This species outnumbered Apatura celtis; 

 it is usually by far the reverse. 



Anaea andria Mr. Hermann Schwarz found this insect 

 very common at De Soto, Mo., on Oct. 12 to 17, 1910, but 

 mostly males. In the near vicinity of St. Louis the appearance 

 of both sexes was normal. 



Coenonympha enrytris This species, which usually disap- 

 pears in July, was yet very much in evidence in late Septem- 

 ber. 



Sa-tyrus alope Numerous specimens were taken by the 

 members of the Club at West Kimmswick on their field day, 

 July 1 7th. 



Thccla Very scarce; Thecla titus was captured at West 

 Kimmswick by Mr. J. Nelle on the same date. 



Chrysophunus Very scarce, thoe as well as hypophleas. 



Pierinae Fairly scarce around St. Louis. Mr. Hermann 

 Schwarz, however, found the following species unusually 

 common near De Soto : Colias philodice, eurytheme, Zerene 

 coesonia and var. rosca; Eurema nicippe and enterpe. 



Hesperidae : normal. 



New species taken Pamphila bellus and Thanaos naevius. 



HETEROCERA. 



The following species were unusually common : 



Hemaris thysbe and diffinis This seems to indicate that their 

 eggs withstood the intense cold of late April. 



Ampelophaga choerilus Plentiful at Creve Cceur, Mo. 

 Usually scarce. 



Smerinthiis geminatus, Marmnba modesta, Paonias myops 

 and excaecatus, Cressonia juglandis in wide variations, Actias 

 luna. 



Calloscimia promethea This species seems to have had two 

 distinct generations, one pupating in July and the other in Oc- 

 tober. It was extremely common, 1745 cocoons being taken 

 by the writer on the hills near Creve Cceur Lake. Two hundred 

 was considered a good harvest so far. 



Citheronia recalls Many females were caught by the writer 

 at lights in the country and no males, while Mr. Hosenfeldt 

 captured only males at light in the city. From the above fe- 

 males 432 fertile eggs were obtained and larvae raised. 



Adelocephala bicolor and bisecta Of these a fine series was 

 obtained by Mr. Geo. Hosenfeldt. 



Other species very plentiful Enthysanotia grata and unto 

 Phoeocima hmifera, Homoptcra lunata and edusa.
