NOTES ON FLORIDA LEPIDOPTERA 
D. MARSTON BATES 
(Contribution from the Department of Entomology, Fla. Agr. Exp. Sta.) 
Papilio polydamas L. 
Grossbeck, in his Lepidoptera of Florida, gives only the indefi- 
nite locality “Indian River” for this species. It is, however, lo- 
cally quite abundant in southeast Florida, and I have found it in 
both the adult and larval stages at Stuart, Palm Beach, Ft. Laud- 
erdale, and Miami. The larva is at times destructively abundant 
on Aristolochia. 
Papilio troilus form iloneus A. & S. (=texanus Ehr.) 
Larvae of this species that were collected on camphor have 
been sent in to the Experiment Station on several occasions. 
Anartia jatrophae L. 
Holland (1898) erroneously states that the early stages of this 
genus and species are unknown, and apparently all who have fol- 
lowed him have fallen into the same error. Scudder, Proceedings 
of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1892, p. 239, gives 
the following note on the larva: “Black, the front of the first 
thoracic segment, the prolegs, and the base of many of the spines 
more or less ochraceous. Chrysalis: Smooth and wholly black, ex- 
cept the borders of the antennal cases and the stigmatal fissures, 
which are whitish, and the cremaster is somewhat ochraceous at 
base. Food-plant, Lippia.”’ 
Seitz, Macrolepidoptera, Vol. V, cities Jatropha manihot as the 
food-plant. 
Very abundant in south Florida at times, especially in the 
Everglades, along the banks of the canals.
