A RECORD OF A NATURALLY OCCURRING LIMENITIS HYBRID (NYMPHALIDAE)

A suspected hybrid between Limenitis archippus Cramer and Limenitis lorquini Boisduval was collected two miles south of the Richland Y on Anion wasteway, Benton County, Washington. On July 6, 1969, three further hybrids were caught at the junction of Amon wasteway and the Yakima River by J. C. Montgomery.

The four specimens of the Limenitis hybrids vary in color and markings. Limenitis archippus and lorquini both fly in this locality and they are the only species of the genus Limenitis in the area.
