Our picture this month represents some rare moths generously 

 loaned for illustration from the fine collection of I. C. Martindale, 

 Esq. The negative was kindly made for the News by Dr. W, 

 D. Robinson, of Philadelphia. Gloveria arizonensis is a gray 

 moth, and its name indicates ils home. Calosatiirnia mendocino 

 is from California; the primaries are dark smoky-brown, and the 

 inferiors tawny, with a black band as shown in figure, atheroma' 

 sepulcralis is found from Pennsylvania southward; the primaries 

 are dove color, and the secondaries are same color, but lighter, 

 and the markings are wine color. Cossus bnuei, from Colorado, 

 is white with black lines. Hyperchiria zephyria is from New 

 Mexico, and was discovered by Prof F. H. Snow. The white 

 line across the primaries is quite characteristic. Hyperchiria 

 pamina is readily distinguished by its pale color; it is a very 

 pretty species. The News hopes to publish figures of moths, as 

 there is such a demand for figures in the Heterocera. As the 

 methods improve we will descend in the scale and study' the 

 smaller species. The figures on plate are somewhat smaller than 

 the normal size of the insects. — Ed.
