EUREMA PROTERPIA (PIERIDAE) IN KANSAS
A female specimen of the Tailed Sulphur, Eurema proterpia Fabr., was taken seated on wild aster blossoms in a field near Rantoul Gap, nine miles east of Ottawa in Franklin County, Kansas, on 15 October 1973. I netted the specimen just a few feet away from a specimen of the Mexican Snout Butterfly, Libytheana carinenta (Cramer) which was also seated on the asters. Neither butterfly has ever been recorded in Kansas before and I presume both of them to be new state records (although carinenta was taken by the dozens in this area during the autumn of 1971). Both specimens were somewhat worn and are presumed to have been migrants entering the region from farther south. Both specimens will be deposited in the Los Angeles County Museum at Exposition Park, Los Angeles, California.
