holosericea as larval food in the laboratory, they reared 22 adults of 
limpia (all paratypes) (one seemingly parasitized larva was pre- 
served). At exactly the same spot, X- 11-67, the Kendalls collected 
about 40 more Celotes larvae on A. malacum and reared 23 adults 
(apparently limpia , but none of them examined by me). 
Foodplant records for nessus are legion (Kendall 1959, 1965, and 
unpublished). Most of them are of Abutilon incanum; and these 
come from many counties in central Texas: Bexar (innumerable 
records), Blanco, Bosque, Comal, Crockett, Kerr, Kimble, Llano, 
Maverick, McCulloch, Medina, Nueces, San Patricio, Travis, 
Uvalde, and Val Verde. I have examined much of the nessus ma- 
terial reared on A. incanum. 
The one valid record of nessus found as an egg on Sphaeralcea 
angustifolia var. lobata in Jeff Davis County, Trans-Pecos Texas, 
and reared to an adult in the laboratory on Althaea rosea was dis- 
cussed above; the other two adults reared from this lot of eggs and 
larvae on Sphaeralcea are actually limpia , though they, too, were 
reported (Kendall 1965) as nessus. 
Three larvae found on Sida filipes in San Antonio, Bexar County, 
V- 9-63, and kept on this plant, produced adults of nessus (not seen 
by me) on VI-8, 14, and VII-11-63 (Kendall 1965). 
A larva found by the Kendalls on Wissadula holosericea in San 
Antonio, Bexar County, V-24-65, yielded an adult of nessus (seen 
by me) on VI-i 1-65. 
Three larvae found on W . amplissima in extreme southern Texas 
at the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Cameron County, 
IV-21-62, produced adults of nessus (all seen by me) on V-15, VI-4, 
and VIII-20-62 (Kendall 1965).
