A TAXONOMIC LIST OF PHILATELIC LEPIDOPTERA
Sidney A. Hessel Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, New Haven, Conn.
Many lepidopterists are also philatelists. This includes professional entomologists, some of whom are those actually responsible as instigators or consultants for the many butterfly and moth postage stamps that have of late years appeared around the world.
The first philatelic lepidopteran was issued in 1890 as an ornament in the hair of Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani. Although one may speculate that it is the beautiful Vanessa tameamea Esch., it was not until 1930 when Lebanon honored the silk industry that a definitely determinable species was depicted. Stylized figures had appeared in the interval. In these instances the insects were, of course, incidental. Sarawak in 1950 was the first with nomenclature, Troides brookiana Wallace, which was figured unicolorous gray. It remained for the Swiss Pro Juventute issue of 1950 to honor the insect exclusively and in full color. This was largely the work of Dr. Loeliger, a member of our Society until his death and an important force in the Pro Juventute youth movement. The issue was accompanied by a brochure about the insects and was a most noteworthy effort towards stimulation of interest in Lepidoptera in that country.
From this beginning, at first slowly, but with accelerated frequency, over 65 countries have "honored" species of Lepidoptera by 310 butterfly and 115 moth stamps, a total of 425 major varieties by the end of 1966. These embrace 248 species divided 181 and 67 respectively between butterflies and moths. Papilio machaon L. with 12 instances leads the list. In most cases the insect is well depicted and the species pertinent to the issuing country. A few are monstrous viz. Lebanon and Togo with Morphos and other distant species, San Marino also with inappropriate selections and Albania and Somalia with flying butterflies both upside down and half "inside out." This presents the showier surfaces. Some fine endemics have been chosen (Madagascar, Jamaica et ah). All families of butterflies are now represented together with 21 moth families.
Japan 1966 (879) is the only stamp with more than one species. It is a large stamp artistically presenting a girl amidst a veritable swarm of flying butterflies. Ten species can be recognized with reasonable confidence and are included in the list although this stamp does not truly serve as a satisfactory portrayal of the subject species.
It is apparent that the raison d'etre in may cases is the fiscal benefit to the country of issue. Nevertheless, the popularization of the subject

has worthy aspects. Flagrant abuses are discussed in the philatelic press and need not be pursued here.
Only those species determinable, at least speculatively, are considered in the body of the taxonomic list which follows. Only stamps recognized by the International Postal Union are included.
As to be expected, nomenclature presents a troublesome problem, the same species often appearing under different names. Frequently a racial name has been elevated to specific status.
The issuance of the Cuban 1961 stamp portraying "Othreis toddi Zayas (in litt.)" has a particular interest. Inasmuch as the species had not theretofore been described it would appear to represent a most novel medium for publication and be vested with priority standing. Correspondence (January 1964) with Dr. E. L. Todd who is honored in the naming of the striking new species advised that to the best of his knowledge publication had not yet appeared in orthodox channels. He goes on to state, however, that the illustration on the stamp does not constitute one of the requirements for "availability" and quotes the new Code of Zoological Nomenclature requiring that after 1930, in addition to other requirements, there must be a statement of characters differentiating the taxon, or at least reference to such (Article 13a). So the first sortee of philate-lepidopterology into the intricasies of zoological nomenclature is adjudged invalid on a technicality.
There is, of course, difficulty in arranging a list embracing all world faunal zones. Remington (1954) is followed to the family level, modified by Ehrlich (1958) for butterflies to subfamily. For genera and species the sequence follows Munroe (1960) for the Papilionidae, Rothschild & Jordan (1903) for Sphingidae, Peters (1952) for African Rhopalocera, Forster & Wohlfahrt (1955, 1960) for most European Lepidoptera, and various sources including the many volumes of G. F. Hampson's Catalogue of the Lepidoptera Phalaenae in the British Museum and of Macrolepidoptera of the World (edited by A. Seitz) for other groups and regions. Nomenclature roughly follows these same sources but is modified by work of more recent authors in limited categories and faunas. The checklist is presumed complete through 1966.
Latin names in square brackets appear if nomenclature on the stamp differs from that in the list. In such instances the inscriptions are not necessarily deemed erroneous though such is usually the case. In any event, somewhat arbitrary procedure cannot be avoided to conform to the authorities chosen and to combine examples of the same species under one name. Scott's Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue (1966) numbers and monthly Journal for later assignments are indicated by parentheses. Scott's numbers prefixed by "B" are semi-postal issues;

"C", airmail; "RA"7 postal tax stamps; "J"> postage due. There are no Scott's numbers for North Korea, Red China, Cuba or Mongolia for recent years; numbers are published in foreign catalogues. The United States Treasury Department through its Foreign Assets Control Section, and Pres. Kennedy, by proclamation of Feb. 7, 1962 have forbidden importation of stamps of these countries after that date. Numbers lacking in other instances were not available at the time of preparation of the list.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to Prof. Charles L. Remington of the Department of Biology, Yale University, for his many helpful suggestions, particularly concerning pertinent literature. Thanks are offered also for his counsel in the matter of troublesome determinations. More than once I observed him turning stamps over in his eagerness to detect significant ventral characters.

FIRST RECORDS OF TWO BUTTERFIES IN WISCONSIN (NYMPHALIDAE, PIERIDAE)
I collected in northern Wisconsin in quick hit and run fashion on June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of 1967. My collecting objective was to document the widespread occurrence of Erehia discoidalis (Kirby) in northern Wisconsin, but incidental to my objectives, I uncovered two butterflies previously unreported from the state.
Boloria freija (Tfiunberg) A single male of this species was taken in an open bog containing sphagnum, labrador tea, cranberry, cottongrass and a sparse growth of black spruce on June 2. After entering the bog, located on highway 17 about five miles north of Rhinelander, Oneida county, I quickly collected three specimens of Erebia discoidalis and was about to leave when I noticed and captured the freija. A second freija was sighted but not captured. I had found freija very common in Minnesota bogs the previous week and after capturing this specimen I expected to obtain others as I searched other Wisconsin bogs, but I failed to do so. The abundance of freija in Minnesota had been quite surprising since it was first reported from that state only two years previously. The only other butterfly found in the bog was Incisalia augustinus (West-wood) which was common.
Pieris virginiensis Edwards
Later on June 2 I was collecting just south of Presque Isle, Vilas County, Wisconsin, on a small side road leading into a rich maple forest and captured three specimens (2 $ S, 19) of Pieris virginiensis. Other species taken in the same vicinity include Euchloe olympia (Edwards), Papilio glaucus canadensis Rothschild & Jordan, Nym-phalis j-album (Boisduval & LeConte) and Polygonia satyrus (Edwards). My three specimens of virginiensis are the first documented captures from Wisconsin; however Mr. James R. Neidhoefer of Milwaukee reports (in litt) that he collected a specimen (23-V-1961) near Hazelhurst, Oneida County—about 25 miles directly south of my locality. Still later on June 2, 1967, I found P. virginiensis very abundant in a maple forest about five miles south of White Pine, Ontonagon County, Michigan and captured about 40 specimens in an hour. These are the westernmost records for virginiensis in Michigan, which had previously been reported from Mackinac, Emmet and Benzie counties by Voss and Wagner (1956) .n
I am indebted to Dr. Alexander B. Klots of the American Museum for confirming my determinations. The three specimens of Pieris virginiensis and the one of Boloria freija have been donated to the American Museum Collection, New York.—John H. Masters, Box 7511, St. Paul, Minnesota.
