Zy^ ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Oct., I9I I 



That reformation and standardization are highly desirable 

 most will probably admit, even though we may not agree 

 on all the details. The first step in the reform is to acquaint all 

 concerned with the proposals which have been made and the 

 News can not urge too strongly the reading of these three 

 articles. If each author will then take care to improve his 

 own manuscripts as suggested, great progress will be made. 

 The refusal by editors of manuscripts which do not conform 

 to well-considered requirements may be a future movement in 

 the same direction.

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



An Entomological Post Card. — Xo. 403 of Raphael Tuck & Sons' 

 Educational Series of Post Cards, entitled "Butterflies," contains five 

 colored embossed pictures of East Indian butterflies with their tech- 

 nical names, habitats and a brief nine-line statement in small type of 

 the life history of Lepidoptera in general and the features distinguish- 

 ing butterflies from moths. 



Lepidoitera of St. Louis, Mo... 1910. — I think Strenoloma lunilinea 

 ought to be added to the list of Heterocera unusually common in the 

 vicinity of St. Louis, Mo., during 1910 (See the Xews for July, 1911, 

 page 323). During the latter part of summer this species was a 

 veritable pest to the collector at sugar. — Edwin P. Meiners, St. Louis, 

 Mo. 



Erebus odora in the United States. — We have just captured here 

 at Madison, Wisconsin, July "th, 1911, following several days of ex- 

 treme he.at and south winds, an almost perfect specimen of the West 

 Indian Erebus odora. — J. G. Sanders. 



On August 6, 1911, at Sachem Head, Connecticut, on Long Island 

 Sound, Mr. Richard Shryock brought to me a vigorous E. odora 

 taken in a house there. — P. P. Calvert. , 



Cabbage White Butterflies. — Would some entomologist state if 

 he knows of any reference to the fact that the larvae of the Large 

 Cabbage White seek to arrange themselves in pairs — male and female — 

 when they pupate? 



Can the sexes be distinguished externally in the larval and in the 

 pupal stages? — E. W. Read. Sutherland Technical School. Golspie, 

 England. (From Nature, for July 20, 1911.)
