﻿222 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



CoLiAs EDUSA IN THE New Foeest. — On July 6fch I saw a 

 specimen of Golias eclusa flying in the New Forest, but was unable 

 to determine its sex. — (Eev.) J. E. Taebat ; Fareham, Hants, 

 July 29th, 1915. 



Second Brood of Zizeea minima. — During this month quite a 

 number of Zizera minima have been taken on the Salisbury downs. 

 As all the specimens are in good condition, and most of them have 

 the appearance of being newly out, doubtless a second brood of this 

 butterfly has occurred. — A. S. Corbet ; August 16th, 1915. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Isle of Wight. — On August 12th I cap- 

 tured male and female Sphinx convolvuli at a patch of Nicotiana 

 ajjinis in my garden. This is the earhest date that I have taken 

 this species here. — G. Nobbs ; North Lodge, Bast Cowes, Isle of 



Wight. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Lincolnshire. — A fine specimen of 

 Sphinx convolvuli was taken early this morning sitting on a towel 

 hanging out to dry in a back yard in this town. I have no previous 

 record of it in this district. — G. W. Mason ; Barton-on-Humber, 

 August 21st, 1915. 



Zephyrus bbtul^] in East Hants. — It may be of interest to 

 record the capture to-day (x\ugust 25th) of a male specimen of the 

 Brown Hairstreak. I took it in an open space in a large wood 

 about a mile from the village of Hawkley. I have never come 

 across the species in this neighbourhood before, nor is it mentioned 

 by Mr. Oldaker in his list of the lepidoptera occurring within six 

 miles of Haslemere (Science paper No. 5 of the Haslemere Nat. 

 Hist. Soc), a radius which almost reaches this district. I searched 

 carefully for further specimens, but failed to find any. The wood 

 abounds with blackthorn. — Sydney Whichee ; Westmead, Liss, 

 Hants, August 25th, 1915. 



Coleopteea of Suffolk. — Mr. Claude Morley has just issued a 

 first Supplement to his ' Catalogue of the Coleoptera of Suffolk.' In 

 1899, when the Catalogue was published, the number of species for 

 the county was given as 1763 ; in the Supplement this total is 

 extended to 1982, but the additional species only are entered. It is 

 satisfactory to note that upwards of 50 of the 183 species included in 

 the 1899 Catalogue on more or less doubtful authority, are now 

 unquestionably entitled to a place in the county list.
