NOTES ON EUPITHECIA LARV^. 49 



all but one, which is at present aUve, in the pupa state. I 

 must try again next year. 



Enp. dehiliata. A correspondent has bred this insect 

 from mixed larvas, supposed to be swept from Vaccinium 

 myrtillus. 



Eup. assimilata. This insect has not been common here 

 this year. Two larvse, taken full fed the beginning of July, 

 produced the perfect insect in a few weeks, thus proving it to 

 be, as I had often suspected, double-brooded. 



Eup. vulgata. I beat the larva of this moth from Clematis 

 vitalba this summer. I have often previously reared the 

 larva from the egg, but this is the first time I have met with 

 it out of doors. 



Will some Scotch entomologist try and procure me eggs 

 of E. saty7'ata, var. Callunaria?
