WE have received a specimen of Catocala innubcns var. scintillans 

 from Coban, Guatemala. This gives quite a range to this species.

MR. R. J. WEITH, of Elkhart, Indiana, has sent a specimen of Tabanns 

 aniericanus and also the imago and pupa case of what we take to be 

 the common house-moth. The larvae of the moth fed on the Tabanns 

 and the imago emerged from it. We have also had museum specimens 

 of Lepodoptera injured by the larvae of this moth and do not believe such 

 injury is uncommon. Mr. \Veith has not observed such injury before in 

 an experience of many years as a collector and would like any informa- 

 tion on the subject. EDS.
