LOUISIANA BUTTERFLY RECORDS
Bryant Mather
Jackson, Mississippi
As a result of the work of Lambremont (1954), Ross & Lambremont (1963), and Lambremont & Ross (1965), it is possible to examine data on Louisiana butterflies and readily establish whether such data include new parish records or extensions of the known flight period for the state. Data derived from collecting by Mrs. Mather and me in the vicinity of Road's End Camp on April, 3-4, 1965 have been so examined and 12 new parish records and one extension of flight period for the state are here recorded. The data are given below; the names and numbers are as given in dos Passos (1964).
