 dalis, Malthodes sanguinolentus, Phyllobius pomoncs, Omosita 

 discoidea, with about half a score others, which are as yet

 Neuroptera, Homoptera, and Hemiptera ; and ultimately arrived

Chcerocampa elpenor Larva feeding on Enchanter's 

 Nightshade. — I took lately at Farnham, Co. Cavan, a well-grown 

 larva of Choerocampa elpenor feeding upon the leaves of Circeea 

 lutetiana, which it continues to eat ravenously in confinement. 

 This is, I think, a new food-plant for this handsome Sphinx, the 

 commonest of its tribe in Ireland. — Wm. Eras, de V. Kane ; 

 Sloperton Lodge, Kingstown, August 22, 1882. 



Trichiura crat.egi feeding on Poplar. — On August 17th 

 I bred a small male specimen of Trichiura cratcegi from a larva 

 which I found in May last feeding on poplar. I have known it to 

 feed on oak, birch, sallow, and blackthorn, but I have never found 

 it on poplar before. — A. Thurnall ; Stratford, August 19, 1882.
