On the night of the 27th June last, two or three specimens i 

 of this insect were captured in the Norwich Fens by Messrs. | 

 Winter and Crotch. Two of these specimens were exhibited ' 

 at the August Meeting of the Entomological Society of| 

 London. I 



The continental locality for this insect is the Prussian^ 

 coast near Stettin, from whence a pair of bred specimens, ' 

 kindly forwarded by Dr. Schleich, were exhibited at the 

 September Meeting of the Entomological Society of London. |

 sugar in March. Guenee says it is common in the centre
