Kraatz gives IJ lin. as the size of S. glacialis in his diagnosis ; commencing 
however, his description with " Nicht unbedeutend grosser als St. impressus," — for 
which he gives 2 lin. as the size. The 1^ lin. is evidently a mistake for 2i 5 Heer 
giving 2i. Mr. Hislop's insect is apparently a large female. — B. C. Rye, 284,

Note on Butalis incongruella. — April 20th I took about 30 specimens of this 
insect at Witherslack, with the assistance of some boys ; we had only occasional 
gleams of sunshine, so I got the little fellows each to watch one until it settled 
down, and then I went and boxed it; it was rather amusing to see them, and 
reminded me of so many pointer dogs at work, for if the eye were taken off the insect- 
for a moment there was no finding it again, as it would drop down among the 
withered sprigs of heath. — J. B. Hodgkinson, Preston, May I2th. 
Chcerocampa celerio in the North. — Whilst at Witherslack after some summer 
birds on 20th April, I had the pleasure of getting a very fine celerio that was taken 
last October, and a few weeks before I got a specimen at Carlisle, taken in October 
on a window-sill. This specimen had not been so well used. — Id. 
Xylomyges conspicilla/ris. — I have now to announce the capture of two fine 
specimens of X. conspicillaris, one on the 24th, the other on the 27th of April ; also 
the emergence of a crippled example of the same species. I am keeping a $ for 
eggs, but at present have not succeeded in getting any. — E. Horton, Powick, near 
Worcester, May 3rd, 1866. 
Occurrence of Spilonota lariciana. — At the same place where I took Eupithecia 
la/riciata last year, namely, Lickey Hill, near Bromsgrove, and at the same time 
(May 24th, 1865,) I beat out from larch three or four Tortrices, which I thought at 
the time were something different from S. ocellana, especially as they were all 
alike, which would not have been Hkely if they had been merely varieties. I have 
since ascertained that they are undoubtedly the novelty Spilonota laridana. — Id. 
Occurrence of Depressaria capreolella. — My friend, Dr. Hoarder, took a few 
examples of this variety in poorish condition thia time last year, one at sallow, the 
others flying in the sunshine by a warm hedge-side. I saw one yesterday, but had 
no net with me, and did not secure it. — Id. 
Lohophora 2'>olycommata at Bristol. — I have as yet done very little in collecting 
here, but the capture of one L. polycommata may bo worth mentioning, it being the 
second example taken in the Bristol district. — Alfred E. Hudd, 1, Gloucester Row, 
Clifton, May drd, 1866.
