The foregoing study was made some time ago at the suggestion of Mr. Paddy B. McHenry of Burbank, California, who inquired about the matter while the present author was preparing his Check List of Nearctic Rhopalocera and I am indebted to him for calling the problem to my attention.

THE FIRST RECORD OF COLIAS NASTES IN THE UNITED STATES (PIERID^E)
A single female of Colias nastes Boisduval was collected in northern Washington while the author was working on a forest lookout tower. This specimen was collected on July 13. A single male of this species was sighted five days later but eluded capture. The female agrees with Holland's figure of the species in every way except that the yellow coloring has a more greenish undercasting. The previously recorded range of this species is Labrador northward and westward (Klots, Field guide to the butterflies: p.33; 1951) and British Columbia. The exact locality of capture follows: Bunker Hill Lookout, near edge of a northern facing cliff, 7000 feet elevation, (T 40 N, R 19 E, S 16), Okanogan County, Washington, July 13, 1961, Jon Shepard collector. Both the male and female were discovered in association with Red Heather (Phyllodoce empetriformis (Smith) D. Don.). The specimen is in the author's collection.
