New Species or Amertcan Moras. *— Mr. Grote is still supply- 
ing us with descriptions of our moths, which will make their study 
all the easier for students. We cannot agree with him in placing 
(after Lederer’s example) the species of Hypena and indeed all the 
** Deltoids” among the Noctuids, believing that they run into the 
true Pyralids, whether we consider the larval or adult characters. 
Unfortunately for lepidopterists the second paper we notice is 
but a fragment. It is a mere outline of an extended memoir in 
which all the North American species known to the author as be- 
longing to the genus Catocala were fully described. This paper 
was lost in transportation. This beautiful genus, says Mr. Grote, 
“seemed to have its largest representation in North America, and 
to attain with.us its fullest development.” Fifty-four species are 
described. 
ILLUSTRATIONS or ŅORTH AMERICAN EntomMoLoey.t — We have 
before alluded to the beautiful and useful plates which Mr. Glover 
has for years past been preparing, and now only regret that more 
copies of the present work have not been struck off. The volume 
before us is one of the most important works on entomology that 
has appeared in this country. On the thirteen large plates are 
crowded admirable colored figures of every kind. of grasshopper 
and allied forms that Mr. Glover has been able to obtain, either 
from his own cabinet or those of his friends. They are authenti- 
cally named, accordihg to Scudder’s catalogue, and need scarcely 
any letter-press to enable them to be determined by the young 
entomologist. 
The text accompanying these plates, besides giving full expla- 
nations of the figures, contains concise notices of the habits of
