NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA. 



Rare SPHlNGIDiE. I have taken the following rare species at this place. 

 Arctonotns lucidus at light, January 7 and 28, Pterogon Clarkice on flowers of 

 wild turnip, March-April, Spk/nx Sequoia', hovering over various flowers, 

 April, Sp. perelcga7is, about various flowers, June. J. J. Rivers, Berkeley.Cal. 



Willow a Food Plant of Papilio Rutulus. On August 29, 1879, 1 

 received from Mr. O. T. Baron, in Northern California, an t.%%^ of Rutulus in 

 alcohol, which ^^g Mr. Baron informed me he saw the female deposit on willow; 

 a remarkable food plant for a Papilio ot this group. W. H. Edwards, Coalburgh. 



Daremma Hageni. In my paper in December "Papilio" I incorrectly 

 gave Kansas (Snow) as a locality tor Daremma Hageni, Gr. The material I 

 examined came from Texas (Boll), the original habitat of the species, which has 

 not occurred in Kansas yet. I must have misunderstood the statement made 

 to me when I saw the specimens upon which I based my statement. The 

 species seems to be only known from Texas, but is probably found elsewhere in 

 the Southwest. A. R. Grote. 



Biological Collection in Cambridge Museum. Perhaps it may be 

 not out of place to make a general statement concerning the, biological collec- 

 tion of the Lepidoptera in the Museum. When first arranged, about ten years 

 ago, the number of species, more or less fully represented, exceeded 1200. The 

 very numerous additions since this time made a new arrangement unavoidable. 

 The Diurna now completed show 200 species. The Sphingidce, now in way of 

 arrangement, are surprisingly rich, and the Bombycids, Noctuida; and Geom- 

 etridse even much more so, so that, probably, the final number w 11 exceed con- 

 siderably 3000 species. For ihe Micros the additions have been only small. 

 Of course, anything that collectors may have to spare in the wiy of transforma- 

 tions will be thankfully accepted, in exchange or otherwise, as it is my intention 

 to make this pan of the collection as rich as possible for the benefit of students.

Localities of Butterflies. In the Nov.-Dec, 1882, number of 

 Papilio appeared descriptions of Thanaos Tat/us and T. Clitus, with no men- 

 tion of locality. The paper was sent on to be ir.corporated with the one which 

 appeared in the October number on the new species taken by Mr. Morrison at 

 Fort Grant and Graham Mountains, Arizona, but arrived too late. Hence the 

 omission ot the locality. Both these Thanaos were taken on Mt. Graham.
