Remarks
"Remarks. In the MLU publication Linnaeus cited the same locality as in 1758 but with the addition "P. Kalm", the Finnish "disciple" from whom he obtained material from Pennsylvania and Canada. In the original description, Linnaeus (1758) gave two references, one by Catesby from Carolina (which was considered by Rothschild & Jordan (1906: 413) to be a figure of a male of glaucus), and one by Petiver referring to specimens from New England and Virginia. The last locality should almost certainly refer to North Carolina from where the species was known since 1587 (Holland, 1947: 304). It seems likely, therefore, that the type locality for the nominate subspecies of this polytypic species is eastern North America. See glaucus, turnus." (Honey & Scoble 2001: 297).
