it was the most plentiful species of the summit bald. Morse has 

 recorded the species from Balsam, 4,500-5,700 feet, Cranberry, Linville, 

 Grandfather Mountain, 4,500-5,000 feet, Roan Mountain and Roan 

 Valley. From these records, all at present known from the State of 

 North Carolina, it would seem that the species ranges in that State 

 from about 3,200 feet (Cranberry) probably to the highest points in 

 the State where suitable environment occurs. 

 Arphia xanthoptera (Burmeister). 



The Sulphur Springs collection contains two males and five females 

 of this species taken September 9 to 29, while two males from Raleigh 

 taken Sei^tember 2, a pair from New Berne taken August 24 and two 

 females secured August 26, at Winter Park are in the collections. 

 At Winter Park it frequented spots in the pine woods and the labels 

 of the Raleigh material show it was secured at that place in pine woods 

 and in field of broomstraw. High open scrub near pine woods was 

 the habitat frequented at New Berne. 



The species has been recorded from a number of North Carolinan 

 localities, but the Winter Park and New Berne records are the first 

 from the coast region. 



Arphia sulphurea (Fabricius). 



At Sulphur Springs this species was taken on dates extending from 

 April 2 to June 13, a series of eighteen males and ten females being 

 secured. Raleigh is represented by ten males and three females 

 taken April 27 to May 19. On May 14, two males were taken at 

 5,700 feet elevation on the summit bald of Mt. Pisgah, this being the 

 highest point from which the species has been recorded in North 

 Carolina. 



Chortophaga viridifasciata (De Geer). 



This widely distributed species is represented by a series of ten 

 males and fifteen females from Sulphur Springs, taken on dates ranging 

 from April 13 to September 29. Two males and one female were also 

 taken on Mt. Pisgah at an elevation of 4,500 feet on October 1. Three 

 of the females in the Sulphur Springs series are extremely large for the 

 species, one of the three, which are quite uniform, measuring as 

 follows: length of body 31 mm.; length of pronotum 8: length of 

 tegmen 27.2; length of caudal femur 16.5. The remainder of the 

 series is nearer what might be called the usual size of the species. 

 But one male in the Sulphur Springs series is in the green phase, 

 although seven of the fifteen females are in the same condition. The 

 Mt. Pis ah female is in the green phase.
