I09 



In coloring and markings, this species very nearly approaches some 

 specimens of Lasiocarnpa Phii, L. of Europe. 



G. Jalapae, n. sp. — ?. Primaries rich reddish coffee-brown, with 

 the margins broadly grayish, edged anteriorly with an oblique dentate 

 dark brown line. There is also a faint whitish band behind the middle 

 bent forward as it reaches the costa; fringes and edges of the wing rich 

 reddish brown. Secondaries dark fawn color, with a slight pinkish 

 tinge, darker on the edges. Beneath, wholly dark fawn-color, with a 

 whitish triangular spot on costa, and the sub-marginal space a little 

 paler than the ground color. Edges of both wings a little darker. 

 Thorax above and below coffee-brown, as are also the legs. Abdomen 

 concolorous with the hind wings, i example. Jalapa. (W..Schaus. ) 



Exp. wings 53 mm. Length of body 25 mm. 



I have before stated it as my opinion that Quadrina Diazoma, Gr. 

 may belong to this genus, but its description does not in any w^ay 

 apply to either of the species mentioned in this paper. 



EDITORIAL COMMENT. 



Mr. Edwards' New Catalogue. — ^We are glad to be able to an- 

 nounce that a revised edition of the Catalogue of 1877 is now in the 

 hands of the printer, to be published in the Transactions of the Amer- 

 ican Entomological Society, and will soon be ready for distribution. 

 Students of the Rhopalocera have felt the need of this revision for 

 some time, as the number of species known in 1877 has since been 

 increased by about thirty per cent., and very many changes in syn- 

 onymy have also been made. 



We note with pleasure that after each reference, the date of its pub- 

 lication is given, thus greatly aiding the student to a just conception 

 of the various and conflicting work that has been done in so many 

 cases. Another decided improvement over the former edition is the 

 introduction of a complete index, the need ot which was constantly 

 felt heretofore. 



It is probable that only a limited edition will be printed, a few copies 

 of which will be interleaved, and therefore, it will be advisable for all 

 who are not regular subscribers to the Transactions to send in their 

 names promptly, stating how many copies are wanted, and whether 

 interleaved or not. Subscriptions should be sent to Mr. E. T. Cresson, 

 Box 1577, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Appreciative Entomologists. — It may be of interest to the rea- 

 ders of Papilio to state that up to the present time (June ist), less 

 than forty-five per cent, of the subscribers thereto have sent in their 

 payments. This fact is grievously discouraging to an Editor who, 

 besides having given the magazine many hours of time taken from
