228 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Leucania alhlpimcta and Catocala Fraxini at Folkestone. 

 — This year I have again had the pleasure of taking 

 L. albipuncta at Folkestone, namely, single specimens on 

 the 1st and 2nd of September respectively. I also had the 

 unexpected good fortune of capturing at Folkestone, on the 

 5ih of September, a worn example of C. Fraxini. — Charles 

 Oldham ; Newton House, Amhurst Road, Hackney, Sep- 

 tember 21, 1874. 



Is not Dlanihoecia Capsincola Douhle-hrooded? — I took 

 fresh specimens of D. Capsincola last May, and bred a long 

 series last naonth from larva? collected during July. I am 

 taking the larvae again now. Only one brood is mentioned — 

 the August one — in Newman's 'British Moths.' — J. A. Lilly ; 

 Paignton, September 19, 1874. 



Epunda nigra and Noctua glareosa at Sherwood Forest. — 

 On the 27th of August I took a fine specimen of E. nigra 

 at sugar: I took it when the moths were swarming, just after 

 (or rather during) a thunder-shower. On the 7th of Septem- 

 ber I took Noctua glareosa in profusion on the heather: 

 a friend was with me, and for several succeeding nights we 

 found their numbers, to all appearances, undiminished. —

Noctua sobrina and Paclinobia alpina. — In your notice of 

 these moths from me in last month's 'Entomologist,' you say, 

 at the head of each, "In Rannoch." That is an error, as 

 neither species were taken in Rannoch, but both in Breadal- 

 bane, much to the south of Rannoch, where I did some 

 successful collecting. — Joliu T. Carrington. 



Notes on Trichiura Cratcegi. — The information we gain 

 from books on the economy of this species is somewhat 

 meagre and unsatisfactory, and it is probably owing to this 

 that we find many cabinets without this insect. As far as 

 my experience and information go, this species seems to 

 occur pretty generally throughout the south-eastern counties 

 of England. The moth leaves the pupal state from the 20th 

 of August to the middle of September: it seems to emerge 

 invariably between five and seven in the evening; the females 

 remain almost motionless, but the males dash about excitedly 

 for an hour or so between six and seven in the evening. 

 They have, doubtless, a second flight in the small hours of 

 the morning, though I cannot vouch for this. It is, however,
