CARADRINA MORPHEUS, A NEW RECORD FOR NORTH AMERICA OF A EUROPEAN MOTH (NOCTUIDJE)
In 1954 while on a visit, I left with Dr. A. E. Brower at Augusta, Maine, two or three specimens of a Noctuid that I had taken at light on the balcony of my home in the city of Montreal, Prov. of Quebec. Dr. Brower did not recognize the species at the time and took them with him to Ottawa, Ont., on a trip at a later date and there, through the kindness of Dr. E. G. Munroe and Dr. D. F. Hardwick, they were identified as Caradrina mor-pheus Hufn., a common species in Europe—illustrated in Richard South's Moths of the British Isles, plate 151 : number 5.
The captures listed below would indicate the establishment of this species in both eastern and western Canada. The seven records for British Columbia are all contained in the Canadian National Collection at Ottawa, and it is through the courtesy of Dr. Hardwick that I am permitted to include these western records.
