Liparidae 



Genus LEUCULODES Dyar 



The genus is thus far represented in our 

 fauna by but a single species, to which Hulst 

 applied the specific name lacteolaria. It is a 

 native of Arizona. The figure which is here- 

 with given was drawn by the writer from the 

 type which is preserved in the United States 

 National Museum. 



MOTH-SONG 



"What dost thou here, 

 Thou dusky courtier, 

 Within the pinky palace of the rose? 

 Here is no bed for thee, 

 No honeyed spicery, 

 But for the golden bee, 

 And the gay wind, and me, 



Its sweetness grows. 

 Rover, thou dost forget ; 

 Seek thou the passion-flower 

 Bloom of one twilight hour. 



Haste, thou art late! 

 Its hidden savors wait. 



For thee is spread 

 Its soft, purple coverlet ; 

 Moth, art thou sped ? 

 Dim as a ghost he flies 

 Thorough the night mysteries."
