A Few Captures Made at Miami, Florida. 



By Morgan Hebard. 



While in Miami, between January 28th and February 8th, I 

 did a great deal of collecting, and took a great number of 

 Lepidoptera. The following are some of the most interesting 

 captures I made : 2 Thecla telea $ and 9 , i Thecla martialis, 

 I Thecla acis, 3 Eresia frisia, i Colcenis julia, 2 Catopsilia sta- 

 tira, 2 A7iosia berenice var. strigosa, 1 Epargyreus zestos and a 

 number of Ancea portia, Eunica tatila, Timetes eleucha and 

 Erycides amyntas. On the flowers at dusk I also captured 4 

 Dilophonota caicus, 2 Dilophonota edwardsi, 3 Dilopho7iota ob- 

 scura, 2 Dilopho7iota ello, 2 Pe7gesa thorates, 8 Cautethia grotei, 

 \ Pachylia ficus 2iVidL many E7iyo lugubris and Chcsroca77ipa tersa. 



On favorable evenings the collecting is splendid, but in my 

 whole stay there, there were hardly three favorable evenings, 

 and this I learn is about the average, for if there is the slight- 

 est drop in temperature, or if there is a breeze, these moths 

 can not be found. The most interesting among the Coleoptera 

 which I took was : i Lypsi7ne7ia calif or7iica , hitherto only 

 known from California, and 8 LaTiguria 77iargi7iipe7i7iis , which 

 species was common there on flowers in the woods.

Among a number of 6^^;^///^/ collected near Bluffton, Indiana, 

 June 8, 1902, by my father and myself, is a male which in 

 general appearance more resembles sordidus than any other 

 species, though the appendages are more W^q grasli7iellus. THe 

 colors are duller and the color patterns less defined than in 

 graslinellus , but brighter and sharper than in the obscure and 

 variable sordidus. On the same day, in the neighborhood 

 where this male was taken, Go77iph7is crassus, -G . frater7ius , G. 

 grasliTtellus , G. sordidiis and G. exilis were on the wing. This 

 male was taken near a small gravel pit associated with G. gras- 

 li7iellus and G. so7didiis. About this gravel pit Go77iphi are 

 rare as compared with the numbers to be found along the
