The Lepidopterists' News

Volume 7                                          1953                                          Numbers 3-4

MARKED LEPIDOPTERA RECOVERED

Information is urgently needed from all individuals who have been marking Lepidoptera and releasing them in North America during the past five years. Two moths, apparently deliberately marked by distinctive perforations in the wing, have been taken in 1953 and reported to the News editor.

No response was ever received from the releaser of a clearly marked specimen of Anaea andria (the Goatweed Butterfly) which was recovered in Kansas in 1948 and is now at Yale University.

Any reader of the News who recovers a definitely or probably marked moth or butterfly, or who marks and releases specimens, is urged to keep the Neivs editor fully informed and preferably to send him sample specimens.

CHECK-LIST OF LEPIDOPTERA OF FLORIDA

C. P. Kimball is assembling material for a new check-list of the Lepidoptera of Florida. He reports a fine response to his questionnaire on Florida Lepidoptera and is most appreciative of the generous offers of assistance in supplying information. The questionnaires were sent out only to those members of the Society whose interests as stated in the annual membership list indicated that there might be Florida material in the collections. If anyone who has such material did not receive the questionnaire, it would be appreciated, if he or she would communicate that fact to Mr. Kimball, whose address is: Rt. 4, Box 942, Sarasota, Fla., U. S. A.

DYSSTROMA BEING REVISED Douglas C. Ferguson requests, for revisional study, North American Geometridae of the genus Dys stroma, especially of the D. truncata - walker at a complex. He will work up and return material sent on loan, or will offer good exchange for desirable duplicates. His address is: Nova Scotia Museum of Science, Halifax, N. S., CANADA.
