OCCUERENCES OF DIUENAL LEPIDOPTERA AT GALENA, 

 ILLINOIS, 1871—73. 



BY THOMAS E. BEAIf. 



J^apilio Thoas. — Quite uncommon. In three years I have taken 

 only two specimens ; one, in fine condition, August loth, at flowers 

 of Silcne armeria, the other, badly worn, September 8th, at thistle 

 bloom. It is a southern species. 



P. TroiJus. — Scarce ; one ragged specimen, late in August, at 

 flowers of FhJox decussafa. Said to be common in Grcorgia, U. S.

 species seems more abuudaut further north, as in Canada and (uotabljj 

 in Maine. 



P. Asterias. — Common ; very variable both in size and mai'kings ; 

 winter pup» develop early in June, and the second brood appears at
