ENTOMOLOGICAL, GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



Moths Lively after a Low Temperature (Lep.). 

 Early in December, on the day after 8 of frost had been registered, 

 some female Winter moths, Chcimatobia brumata, were found on an 

 apple tree in a perfectly lively condition. One male was found on 

 the same day. This appears to indicate that the pests can withstand 

 a considerable severity of frost. The Gardener's Chronicle, London, 

 Jan. 12, 1918, p. n. 



Interesting Butterfly Occurrences at Beeville, Texas (Lep.). 



During the past few years I have received, from time to time, some 

 interesting butterflies from Beeville, Texas, and as some of them are 

 exceedingly rare in the United States, I feel that they should be 

 recorded for the benefit of other lepidopterists. 



The insects were collected by Miss Pattie Hutchinson, who kindly 

 furnished in addition to most of the insects themselves the data on 

 which this article is based. 



Cydhiiou pocyi Gundlach One specimen of this tropical swallow- 

 tail was captured by Miss Hutchinson at Beeville, June 17, 1916. It 

 agrees with figs. 6 & 7, PI. CXXI, in "Reise der Oesterreichischen 

 Fregatte Novara um die Erde." (Trip of the Austrian Frigate 

 Novara around the World.) It is apparently a Central American 

 species, as Dr. Wolcott of Lincoln, Nebraska, has in his collection a 

 specimen taken at Pozo Azul, Costa Rica, by M. A. Carriker, June. 

 1902. 



Picris amaryllis var. josepha G. & S. 2 $ & i 9 taken Sept. 18,
