Western Oregon Field Report

[Ron Gatrelle]

Hi Rich,
    Two things. First, I loved the kumbaya suggestion.... Oh, that life was
that simple.
    Second. On your listing of Speyeria hydaspe rhodope, I do not know if
you are aware of Norbert Kondla's recent paper on this but you can access
the abstract and first page of his paper at http://tils-ttr.org  At this
home page click on Taxonomic Report and then click on Vol. 3. where you
will find his paper. Just click on the Issue number and it will open in
Adobe.
    According to his research on names and type localities rhodope would
not be in Oregon Coast Range. Rhodope and sakuntala are the same thing with
sakuntala being a junior synonym of rhodope.
    Actually, now that I think about it, you should be able to locate the
entire paper at Oregon State entomological library as all issues of The
Taxonomic Report are sent to them.
    Wish I could make the Lep. Soc. meeting - but not so. Made it last year
here in neighboring North Carolina.
 Ron

> Epargyreus clarus californicus
> Euphyes vestris vestris

> Parnassius clodius clodius - many
> Papilio rutulus rutulus - many
> Papilio eurymedon - many

> Celastrina ladon echo - fresh, summer
> Plebejus (Icaricia?) acmon acmon
