THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 393 
Entomological Notes, Captures, &c. 
Captures on the Kent and Essex Coasts :— 
Liparis dispar. Entomologists will be pleased to hear 
that Liparis dispar is by no means extinct, as the larva 
is not uncommon on the straggling bushes of sloe, white- 
thorn and wild rose, bordering the Essex marshes below 
Tilbury. 
Emmelesia unifasciata. I am now breeding unifasciata from 
larve found last September, on flowers of Bartsia odoutites, 
in this neighbourhood. 
Pterophorus acanthodactylus. I may also mention that 
the larvee of P. acanthodactylus feeds on the same plant at 
the same time; I bred several last October. The perfect 
insect hybernates. 
Acidalia strigaria and Beitirit purpuraria. I have again 
taken A. strigaria and L. purpuraria. Strigaria appears to be 
attached to Salvia verbenaca; but I am not yet prepared to 
say it is the food-plant of that species. 
Pachetra leucophea. I have a beautiful specimen of 
Pachetra leucophea taken at Gravesend, on a wall, in the 
day-time, May 24. It was captured by Mr. R. W. Bowyer, 
of Haileybury College, who left it with me to name. 
It is a very strongly-marked specimen, and in_ perfect 
condition. 
Eupithecia togata. I have taken a fine specimen of E. togata 
at light, in Rosherville Gardens, which is a capital place for 
insects.—D. T. Button.
