DANAUS GILIPPUS IN OHIO
On July 1, 1959, Brother Donald Ray Geiger found a specimen of Danaus gilippus (Cramer) on a gravel road on the grounds of The Pontifical College Josephinum located in Sharon Township, Franklin County, Ohio, a few miles north of Columbus. The insect was easily captured in the fingers.
The specimen was given to me and has been deposited, in the entomological collection at The Ohio State University. The insect is in excellent condition, except for a small piece broken from one of the hind wings.
Dr. Edward S. Thomas, Ohio State Museum, examined the specimen with me. Adequate comparative material was not available, but the white edging of the veins of the upper sides of the hind wings and the relatively large spots in the border of them led us to assign the specimen to the southwestern race strigosus Bates.
One can only speculate on the means by which this lepidopteran reached the Columbus area, a locality which is far distant from the insect's normal range. So far as I can ascertain this is the first recorded occurrence of this species for Ohio.
