greatly resembles the gall o[' Andricus qunclrilineaius. Hart., 

 that I am unable to separate one from the other; and the 

 probability that the producer is A. quadrilineatus cannot be 

 overlooked. — G. L. Mavr, 



In ' Mitleleurop. Eichengallen,' ii. 52, this species appears 

 as Y Cynips maryinalis ; but, in 'Verb. d. zool-bot. Ges.,' 

 xxii. 689, Dr. Mayr says he sees, from a specimen sent him 

 by Dr. Meischner, that the gall-fly is an AphUothrLv. It is 

 not known as a British species. — E. \. FiTcii. 



ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 



Papilio Machaon in Kent. — My brother took a perfect 

 male specimen of Papilio Machaon, near Heme Bay, last 

 August, and missed another. It is smaller than the fen 

 specimens. — Bkrnard Coopkr; Higham Hill, Walthamstow, 

 October 23, 1877. 



Vanessa Antiopa, Triph.ena subsequa, and other 

 captures, near Hasmngs. — The most notable of my cap- 

 tures in this neighbourhood during the last eighteen months 

 have been Vanessa Antiopa (a fine female on a Cossus- 

 affected tree, September 28tli, 1876), Apatura Iris, Sphinx 

 convolvnli, Mao oglossa J'ucifonnis (the broad-bordered 

 species), Selenia illusiraria, Einmelesia uni/asciata (at 

 dusk, Crowhurst Wood, June, 1876), Stauropus fagi, and 

 Trifihcena snhsequa (bred from a larva found in Hollington 

 Wood). I do not think this species is so rare as is generally- 

 supposed. I took it several years ago near iMalvern, and 

 reu)ember its capture at Birdlip Wood, near Cheltenham ; 

 and now I know it as a Hastings and Petersfield insect. I 

 have also taken the dark brown variety of Strenia clathraia, 

 with a iew white spots, but in a locality in which I never 

 found one of the ordinary type. The Lepiduptera of 

 Hastings seem remarkably similar to those of parts of 

 Hampshire, especially the New and Woolmer Forests. — E. K. 

 RoKiNSON ; Quebec House, St. Leonard's, October 19, 1877. 



Late appearance oi' Lycemd^. — On the 4lh of-October 

 I took five specimens of Lijccena Adonis; two very small 

 L. Icarus {Alexis), no larger than L. Alstis ; and saw several 

 L. Corydon, so perfect that they miyhl be a second brood.
