NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA. 



COLORADIA Pandora, Blake. — I caught to-day a very fine ? example 

 of this rare and interesting moth at Soda Springs, Shasta Co. I think such a 

 capture worthy of record, as few examples of this species are known to exist 

 in collections. J AS. Behrens, San Francisco, August 22, 1882. 



Papilio Polydamas in Florida. — " I have previously thought that 

 this species had been erroneously introduced into our lists, and I had struck it 

 out of my revised synopsis, but to-day I received a specimen from Dr. Witt- 

 field, of Indian River, who has taken several examples. Hitherto it has been 

 regarded as belonging to the United States, on the authortiy of Bois Lee, but 

 of late its occurrence has been discredited. These authors give the food plant 

 as a species of Artstolochia. I hope yet to obtain the eggs, through the 

 energy of Dr. Wittfield. W. H. Edwards, Coalburgh, June 25, 1882, 



Note on the Genus Herrichia. — This term, which I have proposed 

 and limited on page 64 of my new Check List, is, I found too late to make the 

 correction, previously used by Dr. Staudinger. I beg those who use the list to 

 alter the name to Euherrichia. A. R. Grote. 



Euedwardsia, n. g. — Tibise unarmed ; eyes naked, somewhat narrow. 

 Vestiture hairy ; front with a clypeal protuberance below a shallow indentation. 

 Wings entire, produced at apices ; rather short and broad. Forewings with 

 the costa somewhat depressed ; apices produced ; outer margin rounded. 

 Color, shades of yellow or orange. Type E. Neumoegeni, Hy. Edw. Belongs. 

 to the HeliothincE. A. R. Grote. 



Papilio Albanus, Feld. — This is a common form of P. Eurymedon 

 Bdv., and hardly to be distinguished from the type. It differs in having the 

 primaries " slightly more protracted at the apex, the secondaries being more 

 widened in the anal region, by their longer and much narrower tail, the vittae 

 being broader on both sides, and by the marginal spots approaching nearer to 

 the margin. We collected two $, . Felder, Reise Novara." The $ $ taken 

 in the mountains, or at an elevation of 2000 feet, are nearly always of this form^ 

 the ground color of the wings being also more clearly white, and the insect 

 generally a little smaller. Hy. Edwards. 



NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. 



Owing to the length and importance of some papers in the present number, 

 many matters have been held over, among which are several book notices,, 

 including one on Mr. A. R. Grote's " New Check List OF Moths," which 

 is now ready for distribution.
