Salt Marsh Skipper in Connecticut?

[Clay Taylor]

Harry -

    The only notice that I or any of the CBA regulars have seen is Jeff Glassberg's cryptic notation in the revised Butterflies Through Binoculars - the East.  I have been meaning to (but never made the time to) send out an inquiry to Gall, Norris, Wagner, O'Donnell, et al to see if they had any knowledge of that record.  In a related fit of laziness, I have not checked the CT Butterfly Atlas data for it, either.  

    I put in a lot of hours looking through the Barn Island and Great Island, CT marshes for P. panoquin during the Atlas years, but to no avail.   Lenny Brown thinks that Fairfield county is a better bet.

  Does anybody have any information regarding a supposed recent report (1998?) 
  of the Salt Marsh Skipper (Panoquina panoquin) in Connecticut?  I am doing 
  some research on the original type locality of the species which is 
  supposedly in Connecticut but it has never been reported in the state since.   
  Does anybody know if it is still in Connecticut?  For those interested, NOW 
  is the right time to find it.  Look around the periphery of salt marshes for 
  any nectar plants.  They are avid nectar lovers. 

  Thanks,
