Abstract:

Dione vanillæ is a common butterfly in South and Central America, in Mexico, and in the southern part of the United States, from southern Virginia southward to Arizona and California. Scudder reported it as rare north of the 35th parallel, but I have collected hundreds of specimens in Kansas, and in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas. A few strays have been taken in West Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but Vanillæ is really a tropical butterfly. In the central states the northern limit of its usual range falls somewhere in central or northern Kansas; it is fairly common in the southern portion of the state, but is rarely taken more than 150 miles north of the Oklahoma border.
