1872. Ill 



Vanessa Antiopa at Darlington, ^c. — On the 14th iiist., I had the great satisfac- 

 tion of securing a magnificent specimen of V. Antiopa. There having been daily 

 reports of its having been seen, I have looked closely after it, and received my reward. 

 After all, when I had it in the net, I was sorry to have to pin the lovely creature. 

 I took another example, but not quite so fine, on the following day. 



A very fine one was taken at Saltburn the week before by a gentleman of this 

 town ; also, a worn one here a fortnight ago. — John Sang, Darlington : September 

 16th, 1872. 



Vanessa Antiopa, Pieris Daplidice, and Argynnis Lathonia near Folkestone. — A 

 very fine specimen of Pieris Daplidice was caught on the Wan-en here on August 

 18th, and is now in my possession. I believe other specimens have been taken. 

 Vaiiessa Antiopa was taken in the same locality on the 2oth : I saw it while still 

 alive. Argynnis Lathonia was captured in one of its old haunts (a clover field) 

 near Dover Castle, by Master Marcus Yunge, of Folkestone. — Henry Ulltett,

Vanessa Antiojya, Argynnis Lathonia, and Pieris Daplidice at Dover. — It may 

 interest some of your readers to know that the neighbourhood of Dover has come in 

 for a good share of rarities this season : there have been no less than nine Argynnis 

 Lathonia, four Pieris Daplidice, and two Vanessa Antiopa taken in and near Dover 

 by different persons. One specimen of Antiopa was seen in the centre of the town, 

 but not captured ; another was seen near Folkestone last week. — Geoege Geat,

Argynnis Lathonia near Ramsgate. — It may interest yoiir readers to know that 

 this season I have taken no less than five Argijnnis Lathonia at a little distance from 

 Kamsgate. I took one on the 30th ult., two more on the 3rd inst., and two more on 

 the 6th inst. They were all taken within 100 yards of the same spot, and were, 

 with the exception of one, very good specimens. — Aethue H. Snowden, Grrants- 

 field, Leominster : August 24i/i, 1872. 



Zygcena meliloti. — At the meeting of the South London Entomological Society, 

 held on Wednesday, August 7th, two specimens of this new Zygcena were exhibited 

 by Mr. Boden, of 127, Tooley Street. They were taken (with other specimens) in 

 the New Forest, during the present summer. Last year, when searching for A. 

 caliginosa in its particular locality, Stubby Coppice, I captured two specimens 

 which I took to be small trifolii ; but, upon examination, they prove to be meliloti. 

 I also found a cocoon of that species on the grass. The date of my captures is 

 June 29th, 1871. — J. P. Baeeett, Hon. Sec, South London Entomological Society : 

 August, 1872. 



Acronycta alni, eye, at Lyndhurst. — It may be interesting to some of the readers 

 of the Ent. Mo. Magazine to know, that I took a full-fed larva of Acronycta alni on a 

 fence at Lyndhurst, on the 29th July last. The day before, I beat two larva; of 

 S. fagi; one off sallow, the other off oak. — J. Edtv. Wilbey, 49, Downshire Hill,
