NOTES ON THE COLLECTION OF BUTTERFLIES 

 MADE BY MR. H. K. MORRISON, IN ARIZONA, 



1882. 



By W. H, Edwards. 



This collection embraces about 100 species, all taken in the 

 vicinity of Fort Grant, Cochise Co., and on Graham Mountain. It 

 is remarkable for the many species of certain families and for the 

 absence of others. In the Hesperidai it is especially rich, embrac- 

 ing no less than 38 species, or one-third the collection. Of these 

 9 are Thanaos, and 8 are Eudamus. In Lyca^na there are but 7 

 species, in Thecla 8, in Chrysophanus none. In the Lemonidge, 6. 

 The Satyridse number but 2, and these are Neonymphse, viz., 

 Rtibricata^ Edw., and Hcnshazvi, Edw. I should have expected 

 one or more species of Chionobas, Satyrus, Hipparchia and 

 Coenonympha, but none appear. 



In Papilio 4 species, one of .which, PJiilenor, Linn, is common 

 at the East, and one which I regard as a variety of Riitulus, Bd. 

 In Parnassius nothing. In Pieris only 2, Protodice, Bd., and 

 Sisymbri, Bd., the latter of which was very rare. In Colias but 

 2, Qcsonia and EurytJicntc. In Terias 2, Nicippe and Mexicana. 

 In Anthocharis but 2, Stella, Edw., and Hyantis, Edw. In 

 Callidryas I, Eubulc. In Argynnis but i, Nausicaa, Edw. In 

 Melitrea 3, none of them belonging to group i of my Catalogue, 

 1877, i-^-> ^^"i^ CJialcedon group ; I to group 11, or P^rr/Zcz; group, the 

 others, southern forms, belonging to group in. In Phyciodes 

 but 3, of which Pratensis, Behr, and Mylitta, Edw., fly from the 

 Rocky Mountains to Pacific. The third, Picta, Edw., is southern, 

 very common in New Mexico. In Eresia i, Texana, Edw. In
