Relating Catocala Pura. 



By some accident it was omitted to state that the examples of Catocala 

 pura Hulst, were collected by Prof. F. H. Snow who took them at Idaho 

 Springs, Col., in 1879; at the same time he also took large numbers of 

 other species, among them C. Aspasia, which has been heretofore a great 

 rarity. H. Strecker.
