THE DISTRIBUTION OF INSECTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. 357 



the wilder portion. It has not been reported from the White Mountains, 

 and its northernmost known station is Norway, Me., very common 

 (Smith). In Milford, N. H., it is rather uncommon. (Whitney). 



40. Incisalia Niphon Min. In New England this butterfly has been 

 found in widely separated localities, more abundantly at the south than 

 at the north. It has been taken in Norway, Me. (Smith), the White 

 Mountains (Sanborn), and Milford, N. H., common (Whitney). 



41. Incisalia Irns Scudd. The only known locality for this butterfly 

 in New Hampshire is Milford, where it is scarce (Whitney). 



42. Strymou Titus Butl. In New England it is considered a rare 

 insect, but has occasionally been found in considerable numbers, and is 

 well distributed at least over the southern portions. The only northern 

 locality in which it has been found is Norway, Me., where it occurs in 

 abundance (Smith). In New Hampshire it has been taken only at Mil- 

 ford, not common (Whitney). 



43. Cyaniris neglecta Scudd. This butterfly is found across the con 

 tinent. We may therefore naturally presume that it is found throughout 

 New England. It is common in the southern half, but it is not often 

 reported from the northern portions ; perhaps, however, this is rather due 

 to the lack of observers. Our northernmost recorded localities are Nor 

 way, Me. (Smith), and Dublin, N. H., &quot;quite plenty&quot; (Faxon). 



44. Cyaniris violacea Scudd. This is by no means an uncommon 

 insect in New England, but has generally been mistaken for one of the 

 other species (coming, as it does, midway between neglecta and Lucia), 

 on account of the absence in New England of the dark form of the 

 female. Probably it will prove comparatively rare in the northern half. 

 It has been taken at Walpole and Milford. 



45. Cyaniris Lucia Scudd. This is an abundant insect throughout the 

 northern half of New England, and cannot be called very uncommon 

 even in Massachusetts. 



46. Evcres Comyntas Scudd. is found throughout New England, even 

 in the White Mountain district, and is everywhere a common insect, 

 especially in the southern half. 



47. Chrysophanus Hyllus Hiibn. In New England it has never been 

 taken east of the Connecticut valley; and in New Hampshire only at 

 Walpole, a single specimen (Smith).
