ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 



OF THE GLOBE. 



[The Conductors of Entomological News solicit, and will thankfully receive items 

 of news, likely to interest its readers, from any source. The author's name will be given 

 in each case for the information of cataloguers and bibliographers.] 



To Contributors.— All contributions will be considered and passed upon at our 

 earliest convenience, and as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep- 

 tion. Entomological News has reached a circulation, both in numbers and circumfer- 

 ence, as to make it necessary to put " copy'' into the hands of the printer, for each number, 

 three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or im. 

 portant matter for certain issue. Owing to low subscription rate, " extras" will be charged 

 for, and when they are wanted, it should be so stated on the MS. along with the number 

 •desired. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Ed. 



On a Continental forty-five dollar bill, issued on the 14th of January, 

 1779, is represented an apiary in which two beehives are visible, and bees 

 are seen swarming about. The motto is " Sic floret Respublica — thus 

 flourishes the Republic." It conveys the simple lesson that by industry 

 and frugality the Republic would prosper. — Harper's Monthly. 



Dr. Geo. D. Hulst has donated his collection of Lepidoptera to Rut- 

 gers College. He will retain for the present the families in which he- is 

 working, but everything else goes to the college. The collection is one 

 of the richest in Catocala, and contains a very large number of types in 

 the Geometridae and Pyralidina. There are- nearly 2500 named species 

 and much undetermined material, some yet undescribed. — ^J. B. S.mith. 



Food-plants of Limacodid^. — So far as I have observed, the larvae 

 of moths of this family feed on the leaves of nearly all, if not all, decidu- 

 ous trees and shrubs, and readily change from one food-plant to another. 

 This is in accord with the observations of Dr. Kunze (Ent. News, vol. ii, 

 p. 208) on Parasa chloris, as it will be noticed that all the plants mentioned 

 are deciduous trees, except the Bayberry {Myrica ceri/era), which is a 

 shrub. — Harrison G. Dvar.
