to change, no doubt through some mismanagement. The other 
pupe are healthy and will soon change. On December 2lst a 
few more were introduced, among others Macroglossa fuciformis, 
Cucullia scrophularie and C. verbasci; during this short time 
three M. fuciformis and three C. verbasci have developed. | 
have also kept a lot of other pupz in the same greenhouse, where 
the temperature ranges from 55° in the day to 45° at night; these 
have been in the greenhouse about the same time as the others. 
Two Saturnia pavonia (carpini), and one Pygera curtula are out 
of this lot.—H. H. Merriman; Blundellsands, near Liverpool, 
January, 1886. [We presume that the Deilephila euphorbie 
mentioned are exotic pupa, as this species does not appear to 
have been taken in Britain for some years.—Ep.} 
PsEupopsis sutcatus, Newm.—On the 17th of last October 
I took an example of this curious insect in an old haystack, 
but, though I searched carefully, could find no others. Micro- 
peplus margarite, Duv., and Cryptophagus wmbratus, Kric, also 
occurred sparingly, and Heterothops dissimilis, Gr., rather com- 
monly.—E. Capron ; Shiere, Surrey, January, 1886. 
EKvupiectus kunzEI, Aubé.—On reading Mr. Blatch’s paper 
in the Ent. Mo. Mag. for this month, I at once referred to 
my Euplecti, and find that six of my examples of Huplectus 
signatus are undoubtedly the rare kuwnzei of which he only 
knew three British specimens. I had thought them large 
females of H. signatus. They were taken at various times in a 
sandpit, but all in the same locality—H. Capron; Shiere, 
February, 1886. 
Morn ‘rRaps.—In answer to Mr. Hall (Entom. 45), I must 
admit that the moth-trap he mentions appears to be of little use. 
Last summer I tried it on several different nights, and at various 
parts of our garden, but was unable to catch even a gnat in it. 
I am not quite certain whether the figure in the ‘Field 
Naturalists’ Hand-book’ is intended to be a ground plan or a 
vertical section. Though I used the trap in both positions, I 
was unable to get any result at all. I made the trap myself, and 
perhaps it was too roughly constructed to take the fancy of the 
moths.—C. B. H. Hunt; Draycott Lodge, Fulham, Feb. 4, 1886.
