A PARTIALLY ALBINIC ABERRATION OF PHYCIODES THAROS (NYMPHALIDAE)
On 25 July 1977, I took a partially albinic male aberration of Phyciodes thaws Drury (Fig. 1) in Upper Tyrone Township, Fayette Co., Pennsylvania, at an elevation of 1100 ft (335 m). All the normally tawny or brown coloration characteristic of this species was replaced by an extremely pale, orange-tinged cream color. The black markings were not affected. I know of no similar specimens. The aberration has been deposited in the collection of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.
