PSYCHE. 



[October 1892, 



pattern, lost with the first moult; and he 

 has since pointed out that the same features 

 are found in Bruchus fisi. 



Late in August Mr. A. P. Morse took a 

 black female of yasoniades glaucus at Green- 

 wich, Conn., the first known capture of this 

 form in New England. 



The first volume of Mr. W. F. Kirby's 

 long promised Synonymic catalogue of 

 moths, containing the Sphinges and Bom- 

 byces, has appeared. It makes a stout vol- 

 ume of 951 pages and is carried out in the 

 same way as his catalogue of Butterflies. It 

 will prove of much service. 



Mr. Kirby has also issued a new edition of 

 his Elementary text book of entomology, 

 but beyond brief notes about some of the 

 insects figured and the addition of an index, 

 it scarcely differs from the first. 



The eleventh part of Moore's Lepidoptera 

 Indica leaves the work still confined to the 

 Satyrinae; this part is almost entirely de- 



voted to species of Debis and Lethe; besides 

 the separation of wet and dry season forms in 

 two species of Debis and the early stages of 

 two species of Lethe there is little to interest 

 the general reader; but it is full of geograph- 

 ical details, and contains, as usual, a com- 

 plete summary of all that has been recorded 

 of each species. 



The closing pages of the second volume of 

 Dr. Gundlach's Entomologia Cubana have 

 just reached this country; they deal with the 

 Orthoptera, from which we find that he 

 credits Cuba with 146 species, divided as 

 follows: Forficulidae, 8; Blattidae, 42; 

 Mantidae, 8;Phasmidae, 14; Acrididae, 20; 

 Locustidae, 23; Gryllidae, 31. How different 

 the proportional numbers are from what 

 would be found in any state of the Union, 

 even Florida!
