SOUTHERN BUTTERFLIES IN MASSACHUSETTS. 



I should like to know whether any New England readers have noted 

 the presence of Laertias philetior and Achlarits lycidas north of their 

 usual haunts during the past season. 



Both of these butterflies were extremely common this year at Melrose, 

 Mass. (seven miles north of Boston). Laertias philenor larvK were 

 everywhere noticeable on Aristolochia sipho: the first brood in June and a 

 second in August and September. The butterfly itself was frequent in the 

 gardens throughout the summer. 



Aclilarus lycidas was easily captured during the early part of July in 

 certain localities where its food-plant (Desmodium) was abundant, The 

 females were readily detected laying their eggs singly upon the Trefoil or 

 busily engaged feeding upon the wayside clover. 



I am interested to know whether these species are generally moving 

 northward into New England, or is Melrose one of a very few favoured 

 spots ? Roland W. Harris, Boston, Mass.
