Cynthia cardui was very abundant last year, and is just re-appearing. 
Vanessa Polychloros has been taken once ; a brood of larvas having been found on 
an elm tree. 
Nemeobius Lucina is always plentiful. 
Lycisna Cory don ditto 
L. Agestis ditto 
L. comma, found plentifully in one locality. 
Thirty-seven species in all have been captured within a five mile radius. The 
note in the last number of the Magazine about the food-plant of L. Corydon was 
interesting ; the species is abundant here, particularly on one hill which abounds 
with Hippocrepis comosa. I am sorry I shall not be at High Wycombe next year, 
or I should certainly try to assist in settling the question. 
I have duplicates of the following to spare, for any who like to send to me for 
them: — A. Paphia, H. SemeleS, A. Qalathea, L. Corydon, L. Agestis, L. comma. 
—Henry Ullyett, High Wycombe, August, 1866. 
Re-discovery of Sericoris euphorhiana. — I have the pleasure to record the capture, 
by myself, of this hitherto unique species at Folkestone, last July. — E. Meek, 5, 
King Street, Old Ford, N.E., August 6th, 1866. 
Capture of Catoptria ndcrogrammana at Folkestone. — I also had the good fortune 
to secure a few specimens of this rare insect at the same time and place referred to 
iu the above note on 8. euphorhiana. — Id. 
[This so-called Catoptria is surely a Dicrorampha : iu facies and habits (fre- 
quenting Ononis by day) it reminds one of D. ulicetana.—H. G. K.] 
The food-plant of Lycmna Corydon. — It is well known that the larvae of Lycoena 
Corydon are generally found upon Hippocrepis comosa, but they must also feed on 
other plants. 
Six or seven years since this butterfly appeared in an open part of the forest ; 
and a year or two afterwards was common in several localities in this neighbour- 
hood—some of them five or six miles apart. It was plentiful in the forest near 
Loughton, and in clover fields here. 
I believe no Hippocrepis grows within twenty miles of this place. Boisduval 
says, that in France the larvae feed on Lotus, Saintfoin, and some of the trefoils, as 
well as on the Hippocrepis. 
I have placed larvee upon the common Lotus corniculatus, but they would not 
eat it ; but this and Ornithopus perpusillus are the only leguminous plants that are 
common in our forest where L. Corydon is found, except Ononis spinosa, upon which 
the larva of L. Alexis feeds.— HENra- Doubleday, Epping, August 8th, 1866. 
Gelechia arundinetella.—On the 11th inst. I found this insect in a swampy 
place here, among Carex riparia or paludosa. The specimens are wasted, but 
recognizable. Hitherto, this species has been found in this country only at Hackney 
and Cambridge, and abroad at Glogau, where it was first detected by Zeller in 
1849. The larva mines iu the leaves of the Carices above mentioned. — J. W. 
Douglas, Lee, August 14th.
