NEW RECORDS OF RHOPALOCERA FROM SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA
by Ottilie D. Chermock
In the course of several years' collecting in and around Tucson, Arizona, the writer and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Cheney, were fortunate in securing several species of butterflies heretofore unrecorded for Arizona. All specimens listed are in the collection of Ralph L. Chermock.
Phoebis agarithe agarithe (Bois.). Single males were taken at Tucson, on August 20, 1943, September 19, 1943, and August 10, 1946. Of two females, one was collected at Sonoita, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, on August 10, 1943, the other at Tucson on September 3, 1943. As all the specimens were in good condition, a small population of this species is very probably established in this region.
Danaus eresimm montezuma (Talbot). One male was taken at Tucson on November 7, 1944.
Euptoieta hegesia hoffmanni (Comstock). One female was collected at Tucson on August 2, 1944.
Eunica monima (Cramer). One male was collected at Tucson on July 28, 1941.
Chiomara asychis (Cramer). One male was taken on the Mount Lemmon Road, Santa Catalina Mts., Pima County, Arizona, on September 29, 1947, at an altitude of 3750 feet. Another male was collected in Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mts., Santa Cruz County, Arizona, on September 20, 1950, at an altitude of 5800 feet. A female was taken in Tucson, Arizona, on November 11, 1943. Since all specimens were in good condition, the writer feels that this species is probably native, although rare.
