Vol. XXV] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS ICX) 



Insect records for the State of Michigan are few. The 

 writer is acquainted with lists of Orthoptera from but four 

 other localities in the State. These are the Saginaw Bay re- 

 gion; 2 the Keweenaw Bay region, Baraga County, northern 

 peninsula, 3 the Porcupine Mountains region, Ontonagon Coun- 

 ty, 4 and Isle Royale. s The grasshopper faunas of northern 

 and -southern extremes of the State are quite different, the 

 Douglas Lake fauna being intermediate in character. In gen- 

 eral the habitats recorded for the species in other localities are 

 very similar to those observed at Douglas Lake, often being 

 identical. 



Euptoieta claudia at Montreal (Lep.). 



On September 23rd, 1913, I captured just outside the Canadian Pacific 

 Railway locomotive shops here, a male specimen of Euptoieta claudia 

 and on September 25th close to the same spot, a female specimen of the 

 same species. The latter was, however, malformed, one of the lower 

 wings being undeveloped. I note that in "The Butterfly Book," by W. 

 T. Holland, the range of this species is given only as far north as the 

 Middle New England States and that it is very rare there. It struck me 

 that possibly these two specimens had been accidentally transported from 

 the southern states in either the larval or pupal stages on freight cars, 

 of which there are always a large number in the adjoining works, and 

 that the imagines upon emerging had sought the nearest piece of waste 

 land, which is covered with bushes and young birch and maple trees. 



The female was apparently ovipositing when I caught her, though I 

 had no time to search for the ova. Hence it is just possible, if the ova 

 can withstand the Canadian winter, that larvae may be found next year 

 in the same locality. H. M. SIMMS, 192 Ontario. East, Montreal, Canada.
