| The diana fritillary was reported by Ross & Lambremont in the
Journal of the Lepidoptrists' Society, Volume 17 number 3 in their
update to the state list of Louisiana butterflies and skippers.
They referred to a sight record in Tallulah, Madison Parish noted by
Mather & Mather in the article "The Butterflies of Mississippi"
published in the journal Tulane Studies in Zoology in 1958.
Ross and Lambremont feel that this was a reliable sight record.
The article by Mather and Mather states that "Mr. P. A. Glick wrote us
on 14 January 1953, that he saw a female at Talllulah, La. near
Vicksburg, Warren Co. S. diana should therefore be
included among the butterflies known from Louisiana." So this is
second hand information to Mather and Mather. |
