34 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Heliothis scittosa. — Mr. Thornthwaite announces this lost 

 species from Norwich, and invites enlouiologists to see it and 

 other rare species. Has anyone confirmed their identity ? 

 (Enlom. ix. 18.) 



Erastria venustula. — 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 " onlv a 

 Tortrix!" 



Caiepliia alchymista. — Two specimens are recorded as 

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

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

 164, 185). 



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

 Mr. Oldham ; and of course from Cauterbur}', where six are 

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

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

 'Field,' September 16, 1876). 



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

 Mr. A. Vine, at Brighton, during a strong south-west 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-Lepidopterous larvae have been described. The 

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

 description : —
