A New Crinodes from Arizona (Lepidoptera^ 



Heterocera, Notodontidae). 



By Henry Skinner. 



See Plate IX. 

 C. biedermaoi n. sp. (J^. — Head light grey. Thorax grey, with a trian- 

 gular area of velvety brown. Abdomen yellowish grey. Primaries : 

 Inner half of the costa and the base yellowish grey ; central area seal 

 brown ; outer half of the wing obscure lighter and darker brown mark- 

 ings. Secondaries : Yellowish grey with an almost obsolete anal spot. 

 Expanse of (^ 68 mm. 



The female is a little larger but is marked in practically the 

 same way ; it lacks the brush at the end of the abdomen. 

 There are nine species in the genus and this is related to besckei 

 Hiibner. Described from one male and one female reared 

 from pupae sent by C. R. Biederman from Reef, Cochise Co., 

 Arizona. It is to be hoped that Mr. Biederman will supply 

 the life history of this interesting moth. 



Collecting Dragonflies by a Decoy. — At Astoria, Oregon, July 

 20, 1902, I tried a very successful experiment. I took a conspicuous 

 dragonfly, asphyxiated with cyanide, and pinned him to the top of an 

 unusually tall reed. By standing motionless, I had little difficulty in 

 securing many specimens of the same and other species that would dip 

 down and even alight on the dead insect, or beside it on the reed. —
