2. WEATHER DURING THE 1982 SEASON.

Based on the Canadian Weather Review Summaries (Environment Canada) Volume 19, issues 3 to 8 inclusive.

MARCH: - Cloudier and colder than usual across Ontario, except Timmins - Kapuskasing area where temperatures of one degree above normal were reported. At Toronto, on the 27th, the daily high of minus 6 deg C was thelowest maximum temperature for the date in 142 years. Precipitation totals were varied. In the Trout Lake and Lansdowne House areas of northern Ontario precipitation totals exceeded 200% of normal while elsewhere the totals were below normal. On March 31st up to 17 cm of snowstill lay on the ground at Peterborough and significant snow pack remained in Muskoka and northwestern Ontario.

APRIL: - All stations reported temperatures 2 - 4 degrees below normal. Severecold weather set several record low maximums early in the month including minus 5.5 deg C at Toronto, minus 7.2 deg C at London and minus10.2 deg C at North Bay. A turn towards-milder temperatures began aboutthe 15th and continued to the end of the month. Sunny skies brought thehours of sunshine to as much as 40 to 50 hours above normal in manyareas. Early in the month plentiful snowfalls continued. Pickle Lakewith 60 cm, Moosonee with 61 cm and Timmins with 59 cm came close to re@cords. Total precipitation was close to normal in northwestern Ontarioand in the St. Lawrence Valley and well below normal in southern Ontario.

MAY: - Most stations reported temperatures above normal by two to four deg.Toronto reported the highest maximum for May since 1840. Dry weatherprevailed throughout the month. However, substantial rains began on May24th weekend and continued intermittently to the end of the month.

JUNE: - Cool, wet cloudy weather prevailed across Ontario. Toronto ana SaultSte. Marie recorded their coldest June ever. For many northern stationsit was the coldest June' since 1969. Southern Ontario received excessivemoisture throughout June. Northern Ontario fared better with generallysunnier and drier weather.

JULY; - Southern Ontario had pleasant weather with seasonable tepperatures,lots of sunshine and dry conditmons. Ottawa recorded its sunniest Julyin 44 years and Toronto its sunniest sinee 1968. From Sault Ste. Mariewestwadas however, sunshine was some 40 - 50 hours below normal.Northern Ontario recorded more rainfall than normal. Thunder Bay had200 mm, nearly three times its normal amount. Elsewhere in southern andcentral Ontario very dry weather prevailed.

AUGUST: - This was one of the coolest on record in the last 50 years as meantemperatures ranged from 1.5 to 3.5 deg Cbelow normal. For the firsttime in either July or August snow fell in the Haliburton area. Therewas a killing frost on the 29th. At Toronto, a minimum of J deg C wasthe lowest temperature recorded since 1915. At S • Catherines the 29thminimum of 2.6 deg C was the lowest in 66 years. On the same date, Simcoe registered a screeh temperature of 1.7 deg C with a grass minimumof minus 4 deg. Rainfall was heavy in a band from Lake Huron to Trentonand in the Kenora-Thunder Bay-Trout Lake area. However, at Windsor only15 mm of rain fell, about 19% of normal.

3. CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS T.E.A. SUMMARIES

3.1 Epargyreus clarus (Cramer) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 22, it isstated that "the Silver-Spotted Skipper occurs in southwestern & southeastern Ontario mainly in suitable localities south of an approximate linedrawn from Georgian Bay to Toronto to Ottawa". Mark Goode of Barrie hasadvised that this Skipper occurs at Barrie in the vicinity of locusttrees. Thus, the above quote should be revised as follows: "occurs mainlyin suitable localities south of an approximate line drawn from GeorgianBay to Barrie to Ottawa".

3.2 Atrytonopsis hianna (Scudder) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 30, it isstated that "the Dusted Skipper has been recorded in only one area of Ontario - southwestern Ontario in the Pinery (7)". In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. il676, pp. 4, it is noted that J.C.E. Riotte collected one A. hianna on June28th, 1974, near Stoco in Hastings County on a roadside. However, AlanWormington checked the above specimen in the R.O.M. collection, and itappears to be pocahontas and not hianna.

3.3 Epidemia dorcas (W. Kirby) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 39, it isstated that "the Dorcas Copper occurs in suitable localities in southernOntario in Waterloo, Grey, Bruce and perhaps Carleton Counties and theManitoulin Region". This should be revised as follows: "The Dorcas Copperoccurs in suitable localities in southern Ontario in Lambton, Waterloo,Grey and Bruce Counties. It is also a possibility in Carleton County, theMuskoka District and Manitoulin Island". The basis for this revision isthe recording of specimens in localities in Ipperwash, Kettle Point andthe Pinery areas in 1982. The Muskoka District is added because of a statement on page 52 of the Ottawa Field Naturalists Club "Trail & Landscape",Vol. 16, No.1 /1-72/ Jan. - Feb. 1982. Please refer also to "The CanadianField Naturalist", Vol. 96, No.2 (April/June 1982), pp. 208 & 209, whichpinpoints the locality in Waterloo County where dorcas was encountered in1980 (also see T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 12-81, pp. 61).

3.4 Everes amyntula (Boisduval) - In T.E.A. Oce. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 44, it isstated that "the Western Tailed Blue has been recorded from the CochraneDistrict westerly to the Manitoba border in northern Ontario". This shouldbe revised to "the Western Tailed Blue has been recorded from the Cochrane,Temiskaming and Sudbury Districts westerly to the Manitoba border in northern Ontario". There is also a record for the Parry Sound District whichmayor may not be correct. This, and also possibly the Sudbury record, require confirmation.

3.5 Asterocampa celtis (Boisduval & Leconte) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp.56, the following sentences should be added after - Montreal, Quebec;Hackberry occurs·near Napanee (23) and this butterfly may yet be found inthis area. There is reported a fine stand of Hackberry in the RattlesnakePoint - Crawford Lake - Nassagaweya Canyon Conservation area (17) whichsupports a population of Hackberry Butterflies. Also, in northwesternOntario, in the Lake of the Woods area, off the mouth of Rainy River onSable Island (51) there are a few Hackberry trees and there is a possibility that the butterfly may yet be encountered there.

3.6 Clossiana frigga (Thunberg) - In T.E.A. Oce. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 48, it is

7

stated "occurs locally in suitable habitat (grassy sphagnum bogs) in tiorthern Ontario from Hudson Bay southerly to Monteith (53), Marathon (52) &Ignace (54)". This should be revised to "Monteith (53), Marathon (52) andAtikokan (51)".

3.7 oeneis jutta (Hubner) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 60, it is statedthat "The adults in Ontario from Thunder Bay District and eastwards". Itshould be reuised to "The adults in Ontario from the Rainy River Districtand eastwards".

3.8 Satyrodes eurydice (Johansson) - On page 190 of 'A Catalogue/Checklist ofthe Butterflies of America North of Mexico' in section 1.a. (e. eurydice)reference is made to Note 620 (page 240). This states the following:"Godart, Ene. Meth., 9:493 (1823), mentions the name 'cantheus', but attributes it to Linnaeus and states that his description is translated fromJohansson (Linnaeus), Amoen. Acad., 6:406 (1763). This makes the Godartusage a lapsus calami, and the name should be dropped from the synonymyforthwith". It is noted that in 'Trail & Landscape' (The Ottawa Field Naturalists Club) Vol. 16, No. 1/1-72/Jan. - Feb. 1982, page 48, that thename used for the Byed Brown is Lethe cantheus boisduvalii (Uarris).

3.9 Cercyonis pegala (Fabricius) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 58, to thesubspecies list add:

e. p. olympus (W.H. Edwards) - (TL - Chicago, Illinois)Specimens appearing like olym~us, or intergrades betw~en

olympus/nephele have been recorded for the Manitoulin - Walford andperhaps Wahnapitae localities (49).

3.10.Carterocephalus palaemon (Pallas) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp 25,please revise the last sentence of the first paragraph to read as follows:"the region south and west of Georgian Bay other than Waterloo & Wellington Counties".

3.11 Clossiana freija (Thunberg) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 49, it isstated "occurs in northern Ontario from Hudson Bay south to'Temagami (47),Wawa (48), Hymers (52) and Upsala (52)". Upsala should be revised to Atikokan (51).

3.12 Parrhasius m-album (Boisduval & Leconte) - The White M Hairstreak is included in this Ontario list of butterflies for the first time in T.E.A.Summaries. This inclusion is based on information received from Alan Wormington, a park naturalist at Point Pelee.

3.13 Gaeides xanthoides (Boisduval) - The Great Gray Copper is included in thisOntario list of butterflies for the first time in T.E.A. Summaries. Thisinclusion is based on a specimen collected by John Prideaux just east ofKenora in 1979 which was identified in his collection in 1982.

3.14 pterourus glaucus canadensis (Rothschild & Jordan) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub.# 12-81, pp. 68, in the first paragraph, canadensis is said to rangenorth to James Bay. This shoomd be north towards the Hudson Bay Lowlandsas per Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 33.

3.15 Satyrodes appalachia (R.L. Chermock) - In T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 13-82, pp.57, the record of appalachia at Point Pelee on July 22 should be omitted.

8

The specimen is actually S. eurydice, according to A. Wormington.

3.16 Abaeis nicippe (Cramer) - In T.E.A. Dec. Pub. # 10-79, pp. 16, it is stated that there is a specimen collected at Point Pelee in the C.N.C., andthis has appeared in some subsequent T.E.A. publications up to # 13-82.A. Wormington checked the C.N.C. in 1982 and nicippe from Point Pelee isnot in the collection. However, Klots (1964:197) includes Ontario in therange of nicippe, probably based on the C.N.C. specimen labelled simply'Ottawa'. J.D. Lafontaine believes the specimen is perhaps from Ottawa,Kansas. A specimen was encountered and photographed (Kodachrome slide inQ.F. Hess collection) in Quetico Provo Park (53) on June 21, 1978 (seeT.E.A. Dec. Pub. # 10-79, pp. 16).

3.17 Eurytides marcellus (Cremer) - In T.E.A. Dec. Pub. # 13-82, pp. 7, Sect.,.a, it is stated that the last report of this species in Ontario is atLong Point (4) on July 17, 1972 (J. Troubrfdge). According to A. Wormington, this species was seen at Point Pelee (1) on July 2, 1978 (M. Gawn)and a specimen was collected there on July 18, 1978 (W.A. Attwater) - seepage 10 of "Preliminary Annotated List of Butterflies of Point Pelee National Park" (1982).

3.18 Euphyes dukesi (Lindsey) - In T.E.A. Dec. Pub. # 6-76, pp. 4, it is notedby Riotte "a small colony of the skipper Euphyes dukesi was found atChaffey's Locks (north of Kingston) and one specimen was collected onJuly 7, 1975". This report was used in subsequent T.E.A. publications upto # 13-82, pp. 30. Alan Wormington advises that he searched for the specimen in the R.O.M. collection in 1982 but was unable to find it. In the"Preliminary Annotated List of Butterflies of Point Pelee<National Park"(1982), pp. 9, it is stated - "The species was once thought to be confined entirely to swamps in association with the sedge Carex lacustris, aprobable foodplant. However, more recently it has been found in considerably drier sites in aseeciation wmth Carex hyalinolepis.

3.19 Proserpinus flavofasciata (Walker) - In T.E.A. Dec. Pub. # 9-79, pp. 45,the record by (QFH) of this species for Burt Township (50) is stated asJuly II, 1968. This is an error and the record should read June II, 1968.Please refer to Section 4.6 of this publication.

4. SPECIAL NOTES ON ONTARIO LEPIDOPTERA.

4.1 Coenonympha inornata inornata W.H. Edwards Occurrence in S. Ontarioby Q.F. Hess (Toronto)

The bivoltine inornata in southwestern Ontario has an interesting distribution and T.E.A. Dec. Pubs. D's 10-79, 11-80, 12-81 and 13-82 provide datafor Ontario on this butterfly to the end of 1981. In 1982 further fieldwork was carried out, particularly with regard to the western limits ofoccurrence in southern Ontario from Georgian Bay south to the south boundary of Waterloo County (1) and westerly to Lake Haron.

A summary of the areas checked, together with dates and results follows(please refer also to Figure 3).

4.2 Epidemia dorcas (W. Kirby) and its Foodplant in Southwestern Ontarioby Q.F. Hess (Toronto)

T.E.A. Occasional Publications II's 10-79 (page 12) and 11-80 (page 8) provided data on Epidemia dorcas in Ontario as known to the end of 1979. Somefurther data is given in II 12-81 (page 61) as to its presence in WaterlooCounty in a locality near Ayr. In II 11-80 (page 8) the writer described thediscovery of Potentilla fructicosa within the Kettle Point Indian Reserve,(Lambton County). However, despite a search in July 1980 and 1981, no specimens of dorcas were encountered.

On August 9th, 1982, the writer checked the Kettle Point locality offCentre Street about 1 Km east of Lake Huron very carefully. Three dorcaswere encountered and collected. The Shrubby Cinquefoil stands are locatedin an open area of about 10 acres surrounded by woods. In the centre ofthis localitytthe habitat is fen-like and here the Cinquefoil stands arelo~ated.)There are also some plants located along both edges of a drainageditch in the opening.

The writer then went to Ipperwash Beach and discovered a small stand ofShrubby Cinquefoil off Lambton County Road II 6 in an interdunal wetland.Here one specimen of dorcas was found and collected. I then proceeeea tothe Port Franks area and here, just south of Port Franks is a wetland, ofwhich a large pond is part. J.E. Pilkington had advised that Paul Pratt ofWindsor's Ojibway Park had seen a few dorcas in flight here. The ShrubbyCinquefoil is growing in a very wet area, and no dorcas were observed. J.E. Pilkington advised he had collected Poanes massasoit here in July 1982,but encountered no dorcas.

On August 12th, 1982 the writer checked the old channel of the Aux Sable River where it intersects The Cut just south of Pinery Provincial Pk.Here a small stand of P. fructicosa was found. One probable sight recordof dorcas was made in this area. Burley Campground located in the southpart of Pinery Provo Pk. was then checked and P. fructicosa was found here

12

in three small localities of interdunal wetlands. No specimens of dorcaswere seen. Park Naturalist Casey Vanderbygaart advised this was the onlyarea in the Park with Shrubby Cinquefoil.

Summing up the data known to the writer, Epidemia dorcas occurs in S.W.Ontario mainly along the west coast of Bruce County, in Grey County in asmall locality:east of Elmwood, in Waterloo County in a small locality nearAyr and in Lambton County from The Cut near Port Franks to Kettle Point infour small localities as described above.

According to Sheila McKay &Paul Catling in "Trees, Shrubs & Flowers toKnow in Ontario" (page 92), the Shrubby Cinquefoil is widespread in Ontariofrom the Carolinian Zone to the tundra, but is not common throughout andoccurs mainly in lime-rich soils in fens, on limestone plains, and alongshorelines. Any other Shrubby Cinquefoil stands found should be checked forEpidemia dorcas.

4.3 The Status of Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabokov and its Foodplant inOntario in 1982 by Q.F. Hess

1. Introduction:T.E.A. Occasional Publications #'s 12-81 and 13-82 reported the status

of the Karner Blue and its foodplant, the Wild Lupine, in Ontario to theend of the 1981 season. In 1982 the writer continued field work to assessthe situation in the St. Williams and Pinery localities, the only knownplaces where the Karner Blue is found in Ontario.

2. The St. Williams locali~y in Norfolk County:On June 2nd, 1982, the St. Williams Forest Nursery and adjacent areas

were surveyed, both for the presence of the Wild Lupine (Lupinus perennisL.) and the Karner Blue. Most of the Wild Lupine occurrences mapped in 1980(see pages 13 and 14 of T.E.A. Occ. Pub. # 12-81), as well as areas between

,marked locations were checked. The results are shown on figures 4 and 5.During this field survey two Karner Blue males were encountered, both

in the privately owned open field within the Nursery property. The writerthen consulted with the Nursery and Forest Superintendent, Mr. R. Laupertaround 3 p.m. on this clear, cool day. The writer and Mr. Laupert then madea survey of most of the property to discuss and map the Wild Lupine stands.(The results of this survey are included on figures 4 and 5). During thissurvey, one male Karner Blue was encountered east of the privately ownedfield and two were encountered at a large stand of lupine as shown on thefigures. The fact that no females were seen would indicate that the adultswere only at the beginning of their flight season. The conclusion of thesetwo field surveys was that the status of the Wild Lupine in the St. Williamslocality was about the same as in 1980, but that one of the larger standshad nearly disappeared to be replaced by a ~arge stand out in the open private property. This can be seen by comparing the figures for 1980 and 1982(T.E.A. # 12-81, pp. 13-14). The 1982 survey found this new, relativelygood-sized stand of Wild Lupine in the privately owned field with exposureto 100% of the available sunlight. This means that my statement in T.E.A.Occ. Pub. # 12-81, page 10, that the Wild Lupine has to have 40-80% of theavailable sunlight, should be corrected to 50-100%.

Mr. Wodek W. Gregory advises that he visited the St. Williams localityin early June and found very few Karner Blue adults. On July 12th he found

8 adults, probably of the second brood. He advises this was only the earlypart of the flight of the second brood. His Karner Blue breeding studiesshowed that the St. Williams Karner Rlue population overwinter in the eggstage. Oviposition is on a leaf and the ova drops with the leaf when itfalls.

Mr. Laupert has started a project to propagate the cultivated lupine(a strain of Lupinus polyphyllus~ for the purpose of establishing standsin selected Nursery areas in 1981. Unfortunately, this propagation was 'lost accidentally. Wodek Gregory advised that his Karner Blue rearing project used the cultivated or garden lupine as the foodplant with very goodresults. It is of interest in this respect that escaped garden lupine wereencountered in 1982 in northern Ontario by the writer in the following 10calities:- west and east outskirts of Ignace (Kenora District), NellieLake (Cochrane District), Froome Lake east of Matheson in relatively largeareas (Cochrane Dist.) and several large stations south of Swastika alongHighway #'s 112 and 11 (Temiskaming District). Perhaps the strategy toassist the Karner Blue in the St. Williams and Pinery areas should includethe establishment of the Wild and the garden Lupine in selected places inthese two areas, This will complement action to remove tree and shrub canopy over selected and perhaps fenced areas of existing Wild Lupine standsin these areas (see Note A below).

The Karner Blue colonies in the St. Williams and Pinery areas are endangered because of the tree planting and forest protection policies ofthe Ontario government, past and present. The extensive planting of conifers such as pines without consideration of the future impact on the existing fauna and flora in the St. Williams Forest Nursery area and the PineryProvincial Park has been and will be even more detrimental as the canopycloses over the light-demanding species.

3. The Pinery Locality in Lambton County:'On June 3rd, 1982, the Pinery Karner Blue and Wild Lupine areas were

surveyed. The Wild Lupine stands south of Gr~nd Bend along Highway # 21 &in the Pinery Provincial Park had decreased from 1980, especially in theWalker Road and Yogi Bear localities. These were the only areas where theKarner Blue adults were encountered in 1980 and 1981. However, 15 scatteredWild Lupines were found along old Hwy. 21 at Yogi Bear.

No Karner Blue adults were encountered in the Pinery localities seenon June 3rd •

. On June 9th, 1982, the writer checked some of the Wild Lupine standsin the Pinery Provo Park and Yogi Bear areas. Park Naturalist Casey Vanderbygaart was also contacted re the status of the Wild Lupine in the Park in1982. Mr. Vanderbygaart advised that Lupine stand # 3 (as shown in figure10. page 20, T.E.A. ace. Pub. # 12-81) had disappeared, while s~and # 2 remain~d at about the same level as in 1980. At the Yogi Bear locality onlyscattered Wild Lupine located in shady sites were still in bloom in thearea northeast of the gravel pit (see figure 7, page 16, T.E.A. ace. Pub. #12-81). Near the south side of this gravel pit 2 male sarnuelis were encountered. Northeast of this gravel pit by the south slope of the large sanddune (see figure 4, page 12, T.E.A. ace. Pub. # 13-82) 4 males and 1 femalesarnuelis were encountered. On June 9th, no sarnuelis were encountered aroundthe Wild Lupine stands checked in the Pinery Provo Park area such as theWalker's Road locality.

On July 7th, the Yogi Bear Karner Blue locality was checked and nobutterflies of any species were encountered. George Sutton reports that hevisited the Yogi Bear locality on July 16th and counted 60+ adults in two

16

locations with some scattered in nearby locations. These were mostly freshand mostly males, but there were some females.

On July 22nd, 1982, the Yogi Bear and Pinery Provo Park localitieswere visited again. In the vicinity of the large sand dune a few scatteredlupine plants (leaves only - no blooms) were seen. Here 3 samuelis maleswere encountered. A few scattered Asclepias tuberosa plants in bloom werefound, much less than in 1981, but no samuelis were nectaring there.

The same localities were visited again on August 12th. At the YogiBear locality by the large sand dune, one fesh male samuelis only was encountered and no lupine plants were seen on this date.

The above reports indicate that the second brood was at its peak inthe Yogi Bear area the week of July 16th, 1982, and that the populationwas about the same as in 1980-81.

Note A: Lupines are short-lived plants that will only last 3 or 4 years.They are not good candidates for division, so they have to be resown every few years for renewal. They are at their best in fullsun but they will grow in half-day sunlight too. All the major seedhouses carry the seeds of the Russell strain of L. polyphyllus (indigenous to N.W. United States). There are both dwarf and standardRussells. The germination rate for this plant is poor so one shouldbegin with a technique to encourage the seeds to sprout. First,freeze the seeds for two days, then put them directly from thefreezer into warm water where they soak for 24 hours. Because lupines are legumes, dust the seeds with a nitrogen inoculant - available as a powder from garden centres. This helps the plants totake nitrogen from the air. Then sow the seeds directly in sixpacks, 2 or 3 seeds to a compartment. The germination rate is about50%. Lupines do not transplant well so when set out there will befurther losses. Another method to propagate Lupinus is to collectseed when barely ripe, nick and soak in warm water for 15 minutesbefore planting in well-drained sandy soil in areas receiving 50100% of the available sunlight.

4.4 The Monarch Butterfly and its Foodplants in Ontario by Q.F. Hess.

T.E.A. Occasional Publications #'s 12-81 and 13-82 presented the information known to the writer to the end of 1981. Since then W.E. Edmonds hasadvised as follows:

In northern Ontario I found a small stand of Asclepias syriaca on July16th, 1970, just east of Capreol (49) beside the railroad. On July 23rd,1968, I found a stand of syriaca near the Westree station (49) beside therailroad and another small stand 20-30 miles south of Westree. On July 24,1970, I found flowering syriaca beside the Armstrong station (52) just northof the railroad. Two S. atlantis and one N. milberti were at the blossoms.On July 25, 1970, a stand of syriaca was encountered at Minaki (54) alongthe railroad, as well as Indian Hemp and poison ivy.

On page 50, Trail and Landscape (The Ottawa Field Naturalists), Vol.16, No. 1/1-72, Jan./Feb. 1982, it is recorded that there is a record ofMonarch larvae on Swamp Milkweed (A. incarnata) in the Ottawa region.

4.5 Hemaris gracilis (Grote &Robinson) in Ontario by Q.F. Hess

The TL of this species is given as Atlantic District and it is generally the least common of our four species of Hemaris according to Dr. R.W.Hodges (The Moths of America North of Mexico, Fascicle 21, pp. 117). Therange of gracilis is Nova Scotia to central Florida along the east coast &west through the New England states to Michigan, and perhaps Wisconsin. InMichigan the adult flies from the end of May through early July.

Dr. Paul D. Syme of the Forest Insect & Disease Survey, Great LakesForest Research Centre, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, found only the followingoccurrences for Ontario listed in their records:-

May 27, 1977 - pilot's house, Ramsay Lake Road, McKim twp., SudburyDistrict - feeding at lilac blossoms.

May 31, 1958 - St. Williams, Norfolk County - 1 adult.June 10, 1954- Loring, Wells twp., Parry Sound District - 1 adult.

On June 16, 1982, D.H. Elder collected 1 adult near Williamson Lake & BoiseCascade camp # 105 (abandoned) north of Atikokan (Rainy River District).(The identification to be confirmed).

4.6 Proserpinus flavofasciata (Walker) in Ontario by Q.F. Hess

According to Dr. R.W. Hodges (M.O.N.A., Fascicle 21, pp. 140-141),"TheYellow-banded Day Sphinx occurs across the northern part of North Americafrom Nova Scotia to British Columbia and Alaska. In the eastern part of therange it is extremely rare. This species is a spring flier, flying fromlate May in Nova Scotia and from April through June in southern BritishColumbia" •

In ONtario it has been recorded by J.C.E. Riotte at Geraldton (52) atdandelion blossoms on June 13, 1953. Also by Q.F. Hess at the Ministry ofNatural Resources Forest Nursery in Burt twp. south of Timmins in the Temiskaming Dist. at Labrador Tea blossoms on June II, 1968 (specimen in theR.O.M. collection).

On May 24, 1982, D.H. Elder collected a single adult flying by theedge of a cedar bush adjacent to the C.N. railroad in a semi-open grassybog with scattered dwarf birch near Atikokan in the Rainy River District(specimen in the collection of D.H. Elder).

4.7 Cercyonis pegala (Fabr.) in Ontario by Q.F. Hess

T.E.A. Occ. Pubs. #'s 9-78, 11-80, 12-81 and 13-82 brought togetherwhat is known to the writer with respect to this species in Ontario to thefall of 1981. In 1982 further field studies on this species were carriedout in southern, northeastern and northwestern Ontario, especially as tooccurrence and distribution and some study as to the question of subspecies.The results are shown in figure 6 and the summary in table 2.

Spread specimens of C. pegala collected across Ontario from Essex Co.,Sarnia, York Co., Huron and Bruce Counties, Muskoka, Parry Sound, North Bay,Sturgeon Falls/Field, Sudbury, Walford, Thessalon, Haileybury, New Liskeard,Kenogami, Matheson, Thunder Bay, Ignace, Wabigoon, Atikokan and Rainy Riverwere compared. The southern Ontario specimens were C. p. nephele (W. Kirby)

with one C. p. alope (Fabr.) from Sarnia. The spread specimens from northern Ontario from the Thunder Bay District easterly to Quebec were nephele,although in the Walford locality (Sudbury Dist.) some of the pegala seemedto be an intergrade to olympus (W.H. Edwards). According to Dr. David Hess(see T.E.A. # 9-78), he has a series from Sheguiandah, Manitoulin whichare nephele, while some intergrade to olympus. West of the Thunder Bay District to Manitoba we have nephele with apparent intergrading westerly toina Hall.

Of interest was a male collected in Playfair Twp. (Ttmiskaming Dist.)that has a distinct ochraceous patch on the hindwings and 6 ocelli on thehindwing below similar to the alope specimen from Sarnia.

When pegala specimens from Ontario, especially those in series fromvarious localities and years are compared, only then will the variation &intergrading by locality and year stand out. Ontario seems to have blendzones for the various above named pegala subspecies.

It should be noted that Cercyonis pegala had not been recorded as faras is known from North Bay northwards into the Timiskaming District until1979. It had been recorded in northeastern Ontario in the southern Algomaand Sudbury Districts however. Since finding it at Tarzwell (47) in July,1979, the writer has searched for it each year and has been able to recordit from widespread localities in the Districts of Nipissing, Timiskaming,and extreme south Cochrane. Also from new localities in the Algoma, Sudbury and Parry Sound Districts. It seems to be absent from most of theCochrane District except the extreme southern part north to about 4 KID northwest of Matheson.

4.8 Everes comyntas (Godart) by W.J.D. Eberlie, M.D.

The Eastern Tailed Blue in the Colborne, Ontario (Northumberland Co.)area was more common than usual in the summer of 1982. Many were recorded onAugust 15 and a great many, mostly males, seen on September 12. These wereon a patch of waste land covered with various vetches and clovers, south of

22

Grafton, Ha1dimand Township, North Co. One week later, on September 19, thebutterfly was still abundant, but mostly females. On this occasion, I wasable to watch a female ovipositing, the egg being embedded between the florets beneath a flower head of A1sike Clover. (Trifolium hybridum). For someyears I have been attempting to get E. comyntas females to oviposit on thevarious clovers, vetches or Bird's Foot Trefmi1 (Lotus corniculatus), butwithout success. I had not tried them on A1sike Clover before, but femalescollected on September 19 did indeed lay many eggs on flower heads of thisclover. I wonder whether the relative abundance of this species in this areathis year may be related to the fact that many local highway verges havebeen seeded with A1sike e10ver?

4.9 Mourning Cloak Tagging Project at Toronto in 1982 by Wm. M. Edmonds

Drom the late summer to early autumn 32 tagged Mourning Cloaks were released among the willows near the base of the Leslie Spit. The tagging methodemployed was the one perfected by Dr. F.A. Urquhart in his work on Monarchmigration. Avery self-adhesive labels (3/8" x 5/8") bearing a number and areturn address proved to be successful if the scales on the disca1 cell ofthe forewing were completely removed.

In the ensuing weeks, three of the tagged Mourning Cloaks were capturedand again released. A fourth was sighted. Two were captured in the same general release area about a week later. A third was captured two weeks after therelease date about a mile west of the base of Leslie Spit. The labels werestill adhering firmly to the wing membrane. It will be very interesting todetermine if tagged specimens are encountered next spring.

Data from a tagging programme would be helpful in migration studies andwould provide information on the life span.

4.10 Buoterflies in Metro Toronto by John Prideaux

Within the confines of the Metropolitan Toronto Region there are a number of areas of restricted land use designated as "arks and Recreation areas.There are also a number of wood~and localities operated and controlled bythe Metro and Toronto Region Conservation Authority. There are also specialareas associated with Metro Toronto Sewage and other facilities. Toronto hasmany ravine areas and certain other areas which are of interest to lepidopterists.

During the l~st six years I have been active in searching these areasfor the purpose of surveying the Lepidoptera whieh occur in them. With somespecies such as Colias philodice, Coenonympha inornata and Phyciodes tharos,more than one brood occurs in a season. Some interesting data was obtainedon the spacing of the flight periods seasonally.

A total of 44 species of butterflies were encountered during the sixyears of my survey. Darryl Stewart informed me that he has encountered app.60 species within Metro Toronto. Referring to "The Natural History of theToronto Region" edited by J.H. Faull (pp. 351-354) and published in 1913 bythe Canadian Institute, we see that there are about 73 species listed forthe Toronto Region. Ward's Island is cited as an area with a substantial indigenous fauna but unfortunately there are few places now on the islandwhere butterflies can breed. This problem of loss of suitable habitat applies

23

to many parts of the Toronto Region as development proceeds. I can only suggest that the administrators of our parks and conservation and other possible areas make a better effort to maintain the remaining habitats. My datais summarized in Table 3 herewith.

5. GENERAL SUMMARY FOR ONTARIO FOR THE 1982 SEASON.

The 1982 Lepidoptera season in Ontario was notable for weather whichwas cool and wet in June and August, but more favourable in May and July.There was little influx of southern migrants into Ontario in comparison tomany other seasons. Regular migratory species such as Danaus plexippus,Vanessa cardui, Vanessa atalanta and Junonia coenia were mostly in low numbers or absent in most areas usually reached in Ontario. Resident speciessuch as Colias eurytheme, Polygonia interrogationis, P. comma, P. faunus,P. progne, Nymphalis vau-album j.album and N. antiopa, Aglais milberti andBasilarchia arthemis were absent or at low or very low population levels inmost of their range in Ontario.

However, some butterfly species were noted to be at normal or slightlyabove normal population levels over their Ontario range. These included thefollowing species:- Poanes hobomok, Papilio polyxenes asterius, pterourus g.glaucus, Pterourus troilus, Artogeia rapae, Euchloe ausonides, Euchloe oly~

pia, Colias philodice, Harkenclenus titus, Incisalia augustus, Incisalia niphon, Everes comyntas, Everes amyntula, Celastrina ladon, Vanessa virginiensis, Speyeria atlantis, Clossiana titania grandis, Basilarchia arch~ppus,

Enodia anthedon, Satyrodes eurydice, Megisto cymela, Coenonympha inornata,Cercyonis pegala, Oeneis macounii and Oeneis jutta.

Certain species of butterflies were encountered in new localities andDistricts as follows:- Poanes massasoit in Lambton County (Port Franks),Papilio machaon hudsonianus in the Cochrane District (Moosonee), Epidemiadorcas in Lambton County (Kettle Point, Port Franks), Erora laeta in theParry Sound District (sight record), Everes amyntula in the Timiskaming Dist.(Normick Plant near Kenogami), Speyeria cybele (probably krautwurmi) in theCochrane District (Matheson), Clossiana frigga saga in the Rainy River Dist.(Atikokan), Clossiana freija in the Rainy River District (Atikokan), Basilarchia archippus in the Rainy River District (Harris Hill) and the CmchraneDistrict (Remi Lake), Libytheana bachmanii in Bruce County (Inverhuron),Satyrodes eurydice in the Cochrane District (Iroquois Falls), Megisto cymelain the Timiskaming District (10 Km north of New Liske.de), Coenonympha inornata in Bruce County (west of Hanover) and Waterloo County (west of New Dmndee) and Cercyonis pegala in the Cochrane District (northwest of Matheson).

A number of butterfly species were not encountered in Ontario in 1982,of which a few are worth noting here:- Pontia protodice, Pontia occidentalisand Incisalia irus. The latter species may now be extinct in Ontario.

Lycaeides melissa samuelis was encountered in its two Ontario localities - the St. Williams Forest Nursery area in Norfolk County and the YogiBear locality of the Pinery in Lambton County. The population at the St.Williams locality may be quite low. However, the Yogi Bear locality seems tohave a population level similar to 1981. But it must be noted that the Karner Blue could become extinct in Ontario in the near future if the very local habitat and foodplant situation is reduced below a viable level by man'sactivities or natural causes - a situation which needs to be addressed assoon as possible.

For those interested in the butterflies of Point Pelee, we would referyou to "Preliminary Annotated List of the Butterflies of Point Pelee National Park" by A. Wormington. A copy will be deposited in the T.E.A. Libraryheld in trust by Alan J. Hanks.

Family PIERIDAE Duponchel; Subfamily Pierinae Duponchel

Genus CI: Pontia Fabricius

3. Pontia protodice (Boisduval & Leconte) - (TL - probably Screven Co. Georgia)

In 1982 - no reports (see next species)

4. Pontia occidenta1is (Reakirt)

a. o. occidenta1is (Reakirt) - (TL - Rocky M,s., Colorado)

The Western White can be separated from P. protodice by its more regularmarkings and definitely charcoal gray dark colour. In the males the FW submarginal band is fully connected and forms an arc. It is connected to the marginaltriangles by dark dusting along the veins. In the females the band is wide,well-develpped, and fully connected through cell Cul-Cu2. In both sexes the VHW

36

is heavily dusted along the veins and shows submargin~l dark chevrons in thecells. P. protodice is separated by the lighter FW apical markings in the malesand the less uniform FW submarginal markings in the females. Normally the dark

,markings in the females are distinctly brownish, while they are pure charcoalgray in occidenta1is. In the males the marginal triangular markings are not connected to the submarginal band along the veins as they are in occidenta1is. TheVHW may be immaculate to veined moderately in yellow-green, while occidenta1isalways exhibits moderate-to-heavy green veining.
