New Kern-Tulare County butterfly publication

[paul opler]

Announcement:
The Kern/Tulare County, California butterfly faunal paper is now out in 
print in the Contributions of the C.P. Gillette series of Colorado State 
University.
The paper has been updated and much more information included than in the 
original informal paper written some 2 1/2 years ago. Many more specific
records have been included, more references used and flight periods 
updated. Additional taxa and information have been included. This is a very 
important paper and describes the complexities of the very rich butterfly 
faunas of these two counties that span the southern Sierra Nevada, north 
Transverse ranges, northern Mojave Desert, and Central Valley.

Contact Paul A. Opler for your copy. Checks for $14 should be made out to 
Gillette Publications and mailed to him at Department of
Bioagricultural Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 
80523. There is no charge for mailing. Proceeds over the cost of 
publication will go to the C.P. Gillette Museum including care of the CSU 
Collection.

The paper runs 49 pages and covers 175 species, many additional subspecies 
and geographical variation are covered. A list is given for
the butterflies of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Many recently 
described names apply to butterflies of Kern and Tulare County.
Taxonomy is updated in several instances.
