CORRESPONDENCE. 



15RIEF NOTICE OF MR. STRECKER'S LAST ISSUE (nO. IO.) 



The number bears the date of ]May, but its issue is certainly later, 

 copies having been sent to subscribers in August; its exact date is 

 therefore uncertain. It contains brief descriptions of some supposed 

 new species of moths, besides its curious account of North American 

 LycsnEe, and pretty plate. The description of Macroglossa fumosa is in 

 so far objectionable as ]\Ir. Strecker is ignorant that all the allied species 

 have, on emerging from the pupa, alight clothing of scales on the pellucid 

 portion of the wings (see Ann. N. Y. Lye, Vol. 8, and Lintnefs N. Y. 

 State Reports) which is easily brushed off. 



Sphinx erc/nitoides is very probably S. lugcus \\'alk. 



Catocala magdalena is C. ilkctaWdlk. (my No. 37). 



Catocala aspasia is apparently C. ArizoJice, the description, so far as it 

 goes, corresponding, with allowances for Mr. Strecker's " scarlet " hind 

 wings. A. R. Grote.
