Notes on the Macrolepidoptera of Staten Island. 11^ 



William T. Davis 



Some of the additions recorded in this supplement to the 

 List of the Macrolepidoptera of Staten Island, New York (Proc. 

 Staten Is. Assoc. 3: 1-30. 28 Ap 191 1) and the Notes on the 

 Macrolepidoptera of Staten Island (ibid. 4:4, 5. 31 Mr 191 3), 

 represent species collected a number of years ago. Dr. Wm. T. 

 M. Forbes has been good enough to make a rather careful exam- 

 ination of the writer's collection of lepidoptera and especially in 

 genera like Apatela and Heliophila a number of additions have 

 been found. To these have been added recent captures, with 

 the result that the list now totals about 674 species of macrolepi- 

 doptera recorded from Staten Island. Of this number 85 are 

 butterflies. Through changing environment it is certain that a 

 number of butterflies have been exterminated, and it is likely that 

 the same fate has also overtaken some of the moths.
