ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [April, '(X) 



Mr. Hosenfeldt exhibited his celebrated five-winged Sainia 

 cecropia. This is a large and fully developed specimen, with 

 all wings perfect. The extra wing is a hind wing on the left 

 side, being fully as large as its twin, each of the twins, how- 

 ever, being slightly smaller than the normal hind wing on the 

 right side. He also showed a melanic specimen of what is pre- 

 sumed to be Picris oleracea, taken at Horse Shoe Lake, 111. ; 

 and a fine specimen of Calephelis borealis, taken at Cliff Cave, 

 Mo., and probably marking a new record for this vicinity. 



Mr. Heink exhibited an interesting variation of Lycacna 

 lucia and a new Phyciodcs, which he has not yet had deter- 

 mined.
