Extract

Professor N. J. Kusnezov, of St. Petersburg, Russia has recently described a new Catocala from Texas, with four figures. A reprint of the description of the species may be of interest to American collectors, hence I reproduce it below:

Catacala orba, Kusnezov.—Expanse of male 48 mm; size of C. Judith. Strecker.

“ Antennæ of male ciliate, gray, scaled above, with slight tuftings of hair below. (Palpi broken off.) Front densely covered with whitish-gray hairs. Patagia and front parts of tegulæ and mesothorax dark brown; vertex gray; the rest of tegulæ, nota, and crest on metathorax, whitishgray. Upper part, sides and crests of the abdominal somites dark gray; anal tuft long, dark gray, lighter below. Thorax on the under side and femora thickly clothed with long, dirty white hairs and scales. (Fore tibiæ broken off.)
