APPENDIX II.
PARTIAL LIST OF INSECTS COLLECTED IN 1885, BY DR. ROBERT BELL, IN
CONNECTION WITH THE HUDSON’S BAY EXPEDITION.
LEPIDOPTERA,
DETERMINED BY H. H. LYMAN.
_Papilio Brevicauda_, Saunders. 1♀. St. John’s, N.F. This
specimen is interesting from the absence of fulvous
from the upper side.
_Papilio Turnus_, Linn. 1♂. Taken at Topsail, N.F.
_Pieris Napi_, Esp.
Arctic form, _Bryoniæ_, Ochs. ♀, Summer form,
_Acadica_, Edw. ♀. Taken at St. John’s, N.F. The former
is the spring form, and the latter the summer one. The two
broods overlap, and specimens of both are thus taken flying
together.
_Pyrameis Atalanta_, Linn. One specimen. St. John’s, N.F.
_Colias Pelidne_, Boisd. Var. Orange ♂. Taken at Hyla on E.
side of Hudson’s Bay, 30 miles south of Cape Wolstenholme.
This is the most interesting specimen in the collection,
only one other Orange ♂ having previously been reported, as
described Mr. Moschler in Wien. Ent. Mar. IV, p. 354 (1860).
_Colias Nastes_, Boisd. One specimen of rather small size.
Taken at Cape Chudleigh, Hudson’s Strait.
_Argynnis Polaris_, Boisd. Three specimens (2♂, 1♀), Cape
Chudleigh. Three specimens, Cape Digges, Hudson’s Bay.
_Laria Rosii_, Curt. Two specimens. Cape Digges.
_Anarta Richardsoni_, Curt. Two specimens. Cape Chudleigh.
Also several others not yet determined.
COLEOPTERA,
DETERMINED BY DR. G. H. HORN.
(Per favor of W. H. Harrington.)
