214 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [ May, *12 
On July 13th, the best catches of the season were made. Mr. 
Lowell Pinkerton took a fine phalanga, a splendid paulina and 
an immense viduata with a spread of wings of quite four 
inches. The senior author captured two beautiful phalanga, 
one habilis (the only one of the season), neogama, palaeo- 
gama and residua. Numbers of cara and innubens were seen. 
On July 15th, the senior author and Mr. Harold Davenport 
took one lachrymosa, normal form, one residua, a battered 
grynea, a number of retecta and one parta, a female, the first 
taken since June gth, 1906. A fine viduata was located but 
cefied capture. 
On July 22d, another phalanga was taken. 
On August 5th, accompanied by Mr. G. W. Dulany of Den- 
ver, the senior author took eleven fine specimens of Catocala 
luciana under a rickety wooden bridge over the South Fork of 
the Platte River, eleven miles north of Denver. 
On the 12th of August, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Dulany visited 
the same bridge again and succeeded in taking sixteen or more 
male Juciana and several females from the latter of which 
over one hundred eggs were obtained. These Denver trips 
were the most exciting of the season and, although but one spe- 
cies was taken, yielded the best net results. 
Another trip to “Catocala Hollow” on the 19th of August 
gave us little but ragged cara, innubens, neogama, ilia, barring 
five good specimens of C. vidua, all males and all under size, 
no larger in fact than retecta. 
September 2d, the senior author captured four vidua, two 
males and two females, one robinsoni, the only one seen dur- 
ing the season, and one ragged piatrix. No other species of 
Catocala were seen on this trip. 
We wish to express our obligations to Miss Margaret Haley 
for the careful typing of this article.
