Coordinator notes: Hi Steve.....I've finally gotten your submissions. I think you will have all of these identified correctly so I won't make any comments in the notes unless there is something unusual. I'm verifying 9 sightings per day so I'll get your 43 finished over a few days. Some will have old genus names (like this one) and BAMONA still has not added some names I've requested repeatedly (like O. calais (or O. chryxus "high altitude form" or O. chryxus altacordillera; L. florus or L. helloides "mountain form" or L. helloides florus). Have not heard from Art. I need to write him a note and see if he is OK. I got no report as far as ova production from the dorothea females. Take care, Mike
