SOME IOWA RECORDS OF LEPIDOPTERA 
A. W. LINDSEY 
My first contribution to the study of the Lepidoptera of Iowa 
appeared in the Proceedings of the Academy for 1914 in the 
form of a list of butterflies, exclusive of skippers, taken in Wood- 
bury county (Proc. la. Acad. Sci. xxi, 1914, 341-346). Later 
I was able to complete the identification of the skippers in my 
possession and to examine a number of collections in various 
parts of the state, thus increasing my list to such an extent that 
in 1917 I published a second list, embracing the entire state and 
including all of the Diurnals (Ent. News xxviii, 1917, 347-353). 
While the latter was in the hands of the printer during the sum- 
mer of 1917 a number of additional records were made at Sioux 
City, and these, together with a few corrections, are mentioned 
below. It seems unnecessary to repeat the records already 
published. 
With the exception of a few notes in “Lepidoptera” in 1918 
I have not yet published any records of the moths taken in Iowa, 
though during my last few years of residence in the state I made 
the most of every opportunity to add to these and listed in manu- 
script several hundred species. Since taking up my residence in 
Decatur I have found it expedient to give up my private collec- 
tion, but before doing so I am preparing this list, which shall 
include, with the exception of the more common species and a 
few others, only records of specimens now in my possession. All 
specimens which are rare or otherwise of interest are to be placed 
in the Barnes collection. The nomenclature and arrangement 
follows Barnes and McDunnough’s “Check List” with a few 
changes made necessary by later studies.
