Neomjmjtha nir^tkris. Fab. Never numerous, but occasionally found 

 in grain fields. 



N^eoni/mjjlia canthus, Linn. Rare. 



Arffus pifrni7(ir(jw/us, Boisd & Lee. Common. 



Poh/ominiifna comt/ufas, Godt. Not uncommon. 



Polj/omm(if)is thoc, Boisd & Lee. A very common species. 



PoJi/ommatu>i americdna, Harris. A common species at the end of 

 August and during September. Often confounded with the female of 

 fhoe; and although on the upper side there is considerable resemblance, 

 beneath there is a great diiference. Americaita has the primaries 

 beneath of a bright coppery-red with a tawny border answering to the 

 black above, with ninf black spots edged with tawny opposite the right 

 above, except the ninth, which has no corresponding one on the upper 

 side, and is situated close to the shoulder ; on the inner part of the 

 tawny border there is a partial black band. The secondaries are tawny 

 beneath with about fifteen black dots, and a serrated, narrow coppery 

 band, beginning at the inner angle and extending two-thirds across; 

 fringe tawny with no black spots or markings. It is always a smaller 

 species than thoe. 



Pi)lijommatus cplxantlie, Boisd. Not plentiful. 



Thecla /avonius, Godt. Rare. 



Thecla humnli. Harris. More common. Specimens of both the 

 above species are in the collection of Prof. Kirtland of this place, and 

 were identified by the late Dr. Harris. 



Hesperia hiiron, Edwards. Common. 



Hespen'a tineas. Edwards. I have a single 9 specimen, caught in the 

 neighborhood by myself. 



Hesperia hathyJlus, S. & A. Occurs at Rockport, 4 miles from here. 



Nisoniades juvenaHs, Sm. & Abb. Common in some localities. 



Nisoniades eatidhis, Godt. Found at Rockport. 



Goniloha titjjrus^ Fab. Common every year. 



Pamphila bvIeHfa, Boisd. Found at Rockport, 



Pamphila Peekii, Kirby. Found at Rockport. 



There is no doubt but additions to this list may yet be made, espe- 

 cially in Hesperia and the other smaller butterflies. Until recently it 

 was very difiicult for ils here to identify a specimen of the more obscure 

 species, when caught.
