Extract

The life history of Brenthis montinus has long been a problem taxing the ingenuity of lepidopterists. Scudder made repeated efforts to secure the egg but never observed a female ovipositing. The egg figured in “The Butterflies of the Eastern United States” (Vol. 3, plate 64 f.38 and plate 67 f.16) was removed from the body of the ♀ (1863 Bost. Journ. Nat. History VII: 626; see also 1874 Geology of New Hampshire 339, 354).
