34 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Heliotliis scutosa. — Mr. Thornthwaite announces this lost 

 species from Norwich, and invites entomologists to see it and 

 other rare species. Has anyone confirmed their identity ? 

 (Enlom. ix. 18.) 



Erastria tenustula. — Thanks to our Horsham friends this 

 species has become less rare than hitherto. In St. Leonard's 

 forest it seems to be quite common in some parts. Like 

 many other rarities, I fear it was often passed as " only a 

 Tortrix!" 



Catephia alchymista. — Two specimens are recorded as 

 captured in 1875 : one, by Mr. W. borrer, from Sussex ; and 

 a second, by Mr. Harwood, from Colchester (Entom, viii. 

 164, 185). 



Catocala Fraxini. — Was taken in 1874 at Folkestone, by 

 Mr. Oldham ; and of course from Canterbury, where six are 

 taken in seven years! (Entom. vii. 228, 289). In 1876, by 

 Mr. Shaw and Mr. A. H. Evans, in Berwickshire (Id. ix. 278; 

 'Field,' September 16, 1876). 



C. elecla. — This casual visitor to our shores was taken by 

 Mr. A. Vine, at Brighton, during a strong south-wesi wind, 

 on the 24th September, 1875 (Entom. viii. 282). 



Ophiodes lunaris. — One reported from Brighton in 1874 

 (Entom. vii. 164); a second was taken in Sussex in 1875, as 

 recorded by Mr. Tugwell (Id. viii. 164). 



During the three years, 1874, 1875, 1876, a goodly number 

 of Macro-Lepidoplerous larvae have been described. The 

 following is a list of them, with reference to the published 

 description : —
