39. Chlorippc celtis Bd-Lec. — Fairly common ; two broods ; first, in 

 June ; second, in August. 



40. Chlorippe clyton Bd-Lec. — Not as common as celtis, but larvae 

 in goodly numbers can be found on hackberry early in June, some of 

 them nearly full grown and others still quite small. There is only 

 one brood, but though the first butterflies emerge from chrysalids be- 

 fore the middle of June, others continue to emerge until past the 

 first of August. The earliest emerging butterflies are clyton-clyton or 

 ocellata of Edw. and as the season advances the later emerging ones 

 become darker and darker, until those coming, say after the middle 

 of July, are form proserpina. I have bred this species several sea- 

 sons and have obtained all gradations from true clyton to true pro- 

 serpina. 



40-a. Chlorippe clyton, var. proserpina Scud. — .A.s stated above, the 

 later appearing clyton are of this form and there are pretty nearly as 

 many of one form as of the other. 



41. Chlorippe flora Edw. — One specimen emerging from chrysalis, 

 June 12, igii. agrees with figures of flora in Edwards' "Butt. N. A." 

 and with Edwards' description of flora, also with specimens in the 

 Strecker collection labeled flora. The larva of this one was collected 

 along with a number of clyton larvae and I cannot recall that it was 

 markedly different. It is possible that flora is only an extremely light 

 form of clyton. 



42. Anaea andria Scudd. — Neither very rare nor yet common ; flies 

 in October, hibernates and flies again in spring. More easily found 

 in the spring than in autumn. 



43. Cercyonis alope. var. nephele Kirby. — Common ; the form found 

 here is Edwards' olympus; single brooded; last half of July till past 

 middle of August. 



44. Enodia portlandia Fab. — Not very common ; usually found the 

 last half of June and the early part of July, but in some years appears 

 to be double-brooded, for in igio fresh specimens were taken, June 

 14 and 18 and again on August 20 and Sept. 5. In 1912 fresh speci- 

 mens were taken, June 22 and 26 and on September 19 a fairly fresh 

 specimen ( $ ) was taken. 



45. .Satyrodcs canthus Linn. — Very local, having been found in only 

 one localit} — a spring-fed marsh — so far. Appears early in July. 

 What is true of B. myrina, as to size, is true of this species, the Omaha 

 specimens are considerably larger than those illustrated by Holland 

 and Scudder. The butterflies illustrated show an expanse of 48 to 50 

 mm. and I have specimens from ?^Iichigan which are no larger, while 

 the Omaha specimens, both male and female, have an expanse of 60 

 mm. They are also quite dark. 



46. Cissia cnrytus Fab. — Common; single brooded; appears late in 

 June, sometimes not till after the first of July. This is a full month 

 later than its appearance in New England according to Scudder.
