Notes On Distribution 



By A. W. Lindsey, loma City, la. 



The identification of specimens taken by the writer 

 in Iowa during the past ten years frequently brings to 

 light a few records which very considerably extend 

 the published ranges of the species concerned. Among 

 the butterflies about ninety-three percent of the species 

 found in the state are eastern or more distinctly 

 central, while the remaining few are western, and 

 include one or two whose occurrence in the state is 

 decidedly anomalous. The moths are so numerous 

 that no such summary as this can yet be drawn, but 

 such of the material on hand as has been examined 

 indicates that this portion of the lepidopterous fauna 

 presents very similar characters, and in illustration of 

 this probability a number of interesting records are 

 presented here. With the exception of E. deflorata 

 and T. zenohia it will be noted that all of the specimens 

 listed represent eastward extensions of the ranges of 

 species heretofore regarded as distinctly western.
