134 PSYCHE [December 
NOTES ON A FEW OF THE RARER NEW ENGLAND LEPIDOPTERA. 
BY WM. T. M. FORBES, WORCESTER, MASS. 
‘THESE are odds and ends in the way of rarities picked up during several years 
of collecting. I am indebted to quite a number of entomologists for naming speci- 
mens for me, especially to Mr. Busck for naming my Micros. 
Anosia plexippus fumosa; Worcester, fall of 1900. It was quite common here that 
year, but I have not seen it once since. 
Euptoveta claudia: Worcester, Aug., 1900. 
Argynnis cybele: At Crotch eee near Friendship, Me., the dwarf form almost 
entirely replaced the usual ones. 
Cinclidia harrisii: Worcester. 
Basilarchia: ‘Vhe majority of astyanax (?) I have caught at Worcester show traces 
of arthemis characters, such as a bit of white band below, or red spots on the 
hind wing above. 
Satyrus alope maritima: Commoner than the type at Friendship, Me. 
Bae ep iimas hypophlaeas fasciata at Worcester, Westboro, and Fitzwilliam, N. H. 
ae fulliolus: Worcester, June. 
Fenaseca tarquinius is certainly not limited by the Connecticut valley. West Swanzey, 
N. H., Aug. 8, 16; Worcester, July 12; caterpillar webs common at Worcester. 
Pieris oleracea hiemalis: Slaterville, N. Y. 
* “  virginiensis: Mt. Killington, Vt., not rare. 
Oleracea differs not only in looks but in manner of flight from P. napi of Europe. 
P. rapae immaculata: Amherst, Mass., May 8; Worcester, May 20. Does not seem 
so common or so well marked as in Europe (Constantinople). 
P. protodice: Worcester, August, 1901. 
Eurema lisa: West Swanzey, N. H., Aug. 27, 1903. 
Eurymus philodice: A specimen of the spring-brood albino female at Amherst, June 5, 
Eurymus eurytheme: A typical female (amphidusa) was caught at Seal Harbor, Me., 
by E. Q. Abbot of Worcester. 
Papilio cresphontes: Amherst, Mass. 
Lerema hianna: South Hadley, Mass., on the slope of the Holyoke range. 
Eacles imperialis: South Hero, Vt. (caterpillar.) If what Packard writes is true, this 
will extend its range the whole length of a state (Monograph of the Bombycine 
moths, II, 126).
