RARE BRITISH SPECIES CAPTURED IN 1859. 143 



Choreutes vibrana ; at the September meeting of the 

 Entomological Society, Dr. Knaggs exhibited a specimen 

 of this insect taken near Folkestone, at the end of June. 



Pterophorus Loewii ; early in September I heard 

 from Professor Henslow, that he had found two small cater- 

 pillars feeding inside capsules of Chlora perfoliata. which 

 had, when he wrote (Sept. 2nd), entered the pupa state. 

 Subsequently two Plumes made their appearance, and the 

 insect is Pterophorus Loeimi. We have thus a new locality 

 and a new food-plant for this species ; though the Chlora is 

 closely allied to Erythrcea centaur ea. 



Pterophorus Brachydactylus ; a specimen, taken in 

 Cumberland by Mr. Hodgkinson, was exhibited at the Oc- 

 tober meeting of the Entomological Society of London.
