| Summary: | I think that I am the first man who has witnessed the hatching of the eggs of Pamphila Manitoba . I take pleasure in the belief; and I am glad to add another chapter to the history of our North American Rhopalocera. Pamphila Manitoba is a sub-Arctic species. The first specimens taken in the neighbourhood of Quebec were captured by Mr. Hanham and myself in September, 1892 (See 23rd Rep. Ent. Soc., Ont., p. 31). The species had, in previous years, been taken at Riviére-du-Loup en bas , Cacouna, Metis, and Gaspé (See Mr. H. H. Lyman's article, 22nd Rep. Ent. Soc. of Ont., p. 27). In 1893, it appeared at Quebec on the 5th of August, and this year a specimen left the chrysalis, in my house, on the 21st of July. It would seem as if change of climate and locality were bringing forward the insect's time of appearance. |
