14-3. Enrymns philodice, var. luteitincta Wolcott.— Two specimens 

 taken June, 1910, and identified by Dr. Robt. H. Wolcott, who originally 

 described this variety from Batavia, III., and Grand Rapids, Mich. 



15. Pyrisita mexicana Bd.— Present in fair numbers late in Septem- 

 ber and early in October. 



16. Eurema nicippe Cram.— One specimen taken by Mr. F. H. 

 Marshall, June 18, 1910— one ditto June 3, 1911. Both somewhat worn. 



17. Eurema euterpe Men.— Common; apparently two broods, the 

 first making its appearance about the middle of July, the second about 

 the first of September. 



17-a. Eurema euterpe, var. alba Streck.— Occasionally some females 

 of this species are found which are very pale, almost white. 



18. Colaenis julia Fab. — A single specimen ( $ ) taken Sept., 1908, 

 while settled on Zinnia, in her garden in Omaha, by Mrs. W. B. Gra- 

 ham. Specimen is now in the writer's collection, is somewhat rubbed, 

 but colors are fresh and it is not tattered as though it had traveled 

 a long distance. It is more likely that it was introduced, as larva or 

 chrysalis, with a shipment of tropical fruit. 



19. Agraulis vanillae Linn. — A number of larvae (60 or 70) of this 

 species found feeding on passion vine in his garden by Mr. F. H. Mar- 

 shall and some of them reared to imagoes. This vine was grown 

 from a slip taken from a parent vine which had been growing in the 

 greenhouse of an Omaha florist for several years, making it certain 

 that the eggs were deposited by a female flying here at Omaha. 



20. Etiptoieta claiidia Cram. — Common ; found on the wing in every 

 month from May to October; fresh specimens are most numerous in 

 July and September, indicating two broods. 



21. Speyeria idalia Dru. — Quite abundant; appears usually about 

 the middle of June and remains on the wing until the middle of Sep- 

 tember, although there is but one brood. 



22. Argynnis cybele Fab. — Our common Argynnis ; also single 

 brooded, its season being about the same as the foregoing. 



23. Argynnis aphrodite Fab. — Extremely rare, but one specimen 

 having been taken here. That one was taken by Mr. F. H. Mar.shall, 

 Aug. 26, 1912. 



23-a. Argynnis aphrodite, var. alcestis Edw. — Very rare; one cap- 

 ture by Mr. F. H. Marshall, July 24, 1909, and one by the writer, July 

 20, 1912. 



24. Brent his myrina Cram. — Plentiful in some years and not found 

 at all in others, though searched for in the same places. Apparently 

 triple-brooded, as fresh specimens have been taken in May, July and 

 September. All specimens taken here are considerably larger than 

 figured in Holland's "Butterfly Book" and Scudder's "Everyday But- 

 terflies." The figures cited show an expanse of 40 & 42 mm. respec- 

 tively, while the Omaha specimens have an expanse of 54 to 56 mm. 

 in the case of males and 60 mm. in the case of females.
