lO SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 95 



Falls, where in 1934 and 1935 it was fairly common, though by no 

 means abundant. There is a single record for the District of Columbia. 



From Virginia it is known for the most part only through the 

 capture of individuals from a number of widely scattered localities : 

 but Smyth in 1895 said that it is occasionally taken in Montgomery 

 County. The only localities we know in West \^irginia are Charleston 

 and Coalburg, in Kanawha County, where it is not common. 



In Ohio it was taken for the first time in 1934, in two of the 

 southeastern counties, as Edward S. Thomas has been so kind as to 

 inform us by letter. William H. Edwards gave Kentucky among the 

 localities for this species, but did not say on what grounds, and Osburn 

 speaks of it as rare at Nashville, Tenn., where he took a single 

 specimen. 



In North Carolina it is known only from Tryon, and in South 

 Carolina only from Greenville and Pickens Counties in the western 

 part of the State, so we do not understand Dr. W. J. Holland's 

 statement that " It is common in the Carolinas." 



In his manuscript notes, quoted by Scudder, Abbot expressly calls 

 it rare in the vicinity of Jacksonborough, Ga., and Harris, who re- 

 corded it from Macon, spoke of it as rare. From Florida it is recorded 

 only from Tallahassee and Biscayne Bay. In Missouri a single speci- 

 men, almost fresh, was captured at Seventysix. 



There are no records of this species from Alabama, Mississippi, 

 or Louisiana, and in Texas it is only known from Kerrville, where it 

 seems to be fairly common. 



It is locally common in southern Arizona, and Barnes wrote that 

 it is very common in the Huachuca Mountains near the Mexican 

 border. 



It is not known from New Mexico or from California. 



In Mexico, according to Godman, it has a wide range in the high- 

 lands, occurring at an elevation of 6,000 feet in the Sierra Madre of 

 Durango, as high as 8,000 feet in the Sierra Madre del Sur, and at 

 similar altitudes in other parts of Mexico. It also occurs at Cuernavaca, 

 where H. H. Smith found it in July. 



The southernmost locality from which it is known is the Volcan 

 Santa Maria in Guatemala, where a specimen now in the United States 

 National Museum was captured by William Schaus and John Barnes 

 in June. 



The known range of this butterfly — from New York to Florida, 

 about Kerrville, Tex., and from southern Arizona southward to 

 Guatemala — is curiously discontinuous.
