GENERAL NOTES
RANGE EXTENSIONS OF
CALLOPHRYS FOTIS, C. POLIOS, COLIAS ALEXANDRA AND
EREBIA CALLIAS (LYCAENIDAE, PIERIDAE AND SATYRIDAE)
Until 1971, Callophrys (Incisalia) fotis schryveri (Cross) was known only from Colorado and southern Wyoming (Ferris & Stanford, J. Lepid. Soc. 24: 256-266). In 1971 and 1972, it was collected in numbers by S. Kohler in the vicinity of Missoula, Missoula Co., Montana. Voucher specimens are deposited in the collection of S. Kohler and the author.
Ferris & Fisher (1973, J. Lepid. Soc. 27: 112-118) discussed the distribution of Callophrys (Incisalia) polios (Cook & Watson) in North America. At that time, polios was unknown from the Great Plains region. It was recorded from eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin, and northeastern Illinois. Eastern limits for the subspecies obscurus Ferris & Fisher included Missoula Co., Montana; the Black Hills, South Dakota; Albany Co., Wyoming; and south along the Colorado Front Range. In May 1973, T. McCabe collected C. polios obscurus in the Killdeer Mts., Dunn Co., North Dakota, a locality several hundred miles north and east of the nearest known locality of this subspecies. Voucher specimens are deposited in the collection of T. McCabe and the author.
In his revision of the Colias alexandra complex, Ferris (1973, J. Lepid. Soc. 27: 57-73) listed no records south of the United States-Mexico border. Colias alexandra harfordii H. Edwards has now been collected at several localities in Baja California (state) in the Sierra San Pedro Martir (Holland, 1972, J. Res. Lepid. 11: 147-160; H. Real, in litt.).
Since my paper on Erebia callias Edwards appeared (Ferris, 1974, J. Lepid. Soc. 28: 230-236), a number of new Colorado records for this insect have been sent to me by R. E. Stanford and D. Cowper from the following counties: Boulder, Gilpin, Gunnison, Ouray, Pitkin, Rio Grande and San Juan.

AMBLYSCIRTES BELLI (HESPERIIDAE): A NEW RECORD FOR KENTUCKY
On July 26, 1969, between 1500 and 1600 I collected a single Amblyscirtes belli Freeman ( $ ) that was resting on a leaf in a wooded area of Chickasaw Park in Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky. Determination was tentatively made by C. V. Covcll, Jr. of the University of Louisville and confirmed by Mr. H. A. Freeman of Garland, Texas. This species has not been reported for Kentucky (Covell, 1974, J. Lepid. Soc. 28: 253-256), the nearest known record being in Pope Co., Illinois (Irwin & Downey, 1973, 111. Nat. Hist. Surv. Biol. Notes No. 81: 1-60).
