444 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Folkestone.—I had the good fortune 
to take a specimen of D. pulchella, at Folkestone, on the 12th 
September last.—C. Oldham; Newton House, Amherst 
Road, Hackney. 
Deiopeia pulchella in Dorsetshire.—Seeing it mentioned 
in your ‘History of British Moths,’ that Deiopeia pulchella 
is a rare moth, [ venture to trouble you with the information 
that [ have one which exactly corresponds with your descrip- 
tion. It was caught about a month ago by my little son 
_(aged four), on the low-lying shore of Poole Harbour, Dor- 
setshire, where we have been spending our holidays, and 
where my boys (this one, and an elder one of six) began to 
form their little collection of moths and butterflies. The 
forget-me-not grew plentifully near the spot where it was 
caught.— Henrietta J. Hiley; 3,, Cambridge Gardens, 
Richmond Hill, September 29, 1871. 
Anticlea sinuata near Newbury.—At the latter end of 
June last my friend, Mr. W. H. Herbert, of Wyfield Manor, 
took a beautiful specimen of A. sinuata. When captured it 
was found sitting on a nettle-leaf. The land adjoining the 
spot where the insect was found is barren and sandy, but, in 
spots, growing an abundance of Galium verum; so that Mr. 
Wratislaw’s conjecture, regarding this and allied species, 
certainly appears to be correct.— Henry Reeks. 
Xanthia gilvago at Coombe Wocd.—In Mr. Doubleday’s 
letter, published in last month’s ‘ Entomologist,’ he says, 
speaking of Xanthia gilvago :—“ I was surprised to see it, as 
I do not think this species has occurred before in the 
neighbourhood of London.” I beg to inform you that my 
brother and I took this insect last year at sugar in Coombe 
Wood.—H. D. Greville; Southfields, Wandsworth, October 
3, 1871. 
A New British Phycis.—During a short stay in the Isle of 
Wight, last July, I captured a few specimens of a species of 
Phycis, which I felt certain at the time to be rare in, if not 
new to, Britain. 1 exhibited a specimen at the following 
Thursday meeting of our Society (the Haggerstone); it was 
not known by anyone present. Mr. Henry Doubleday has 
seen it, but) not named it: he informs me that in all 
probability it is figured in Herrich-Scheffer. Perhaps you 
will be so kind as to see what you can do towards identifying
