OUR picture this month represents some rare moths generously 

 loaned for illustration from the fine collection of I. C. Martindale, 

 Esq. The negative was kindly made for the NEWS by Dr. \V. 

 D. Robinson, of Philadelphia. Glorcria arizonensis is a -ray 

 moth, and its name indicates its home. Calosaturnia mcndocino 

 is fqom California; the primaries are dark smoky-brown, and the 

 inferiors tawny, with a black band as shown in figure. Cithcronia 

 sepulcralis is found from Pennsylvania southward; the primaries 

 are dove color, and the secondaries are same color, but lighter, 

 and the markings are wine color. COSSHS brucri, irom Colorado, 

 is white with black lines. Hypcrchiria -j'-p/ivrid is Irom .\Yw 

 Mexico, and was discovered by Prof. F. PI. Snow. The \\hite 

 line across the primaries is quite characteristic. ffv/>cir/iii-ia 

 paniiiia is readily distinguished by its pale color; it is a very 

 pretty species. The NK\VS hopes to publish figures of moths, as 

 there is such a demand for figures in the Heterocera. As the 

 methods improve we will descend in the scale and study the 

 smaller species. The figures on plate are somewhat smaller than 

 the normal si/c of the insects/ KD.
