[Ctleps-l] Belated reports - Winchester, Goshen, Windsor

Thu Aug 11 14:02:24 EDT 2016

Alex,

I took a look at my email - I meant call Northern Crescent P. cocyta, not
P. diminutor.  Diminutor has been treated as a separate species for a while
now. Nevertheless, the crescents that fly in June in NW CT (and other
areas?) are probably not P. tharos.
