208 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Restinc Hasit or Lyc#NA MINIMA.—On the 19th of June, 
at Horsley, Surrey, I found numbers of Lycena minima (alsus) 
asleep on the undersides of the leaves of the small shrubs on the 
sheep lees. Fifty or more on one little tree about three feet 
high (a seedling beech). The afternoon was dull and lowering, 
and nothing on the wing. A note on this habit of LZ. muuwma 
may be interesting, and perhaps useful, to some of your readers.

S.E., June 28, 1886. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA IN SoutH Drvon.—I am able to give 
one more instance of the capture of Deiopeia pulchella which has 
not been previously recorded. I have in my possession a fine 
full-coloured specimen captured by a relative, an old entomologist, 
in the month of October, 1876, on.the coast of South Devon. 
Two specimens started out from a bush at the same time, but one 
succeeded in making its escape.—T. B. Jerrerys; Clevedon. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA.—With regard to Mr. R. E. Salwey’s 
theory (Entom. 170), that D. pulchella is established and breeds 
in England, I think the fact that specimens have been taken in 
Herefordshire does away with the blow-over theory, at least as far 
as the western portion of the kingdom is concerned. I have seen 
two specimens which were captured within three miles of this 
city, one at rest, the other picked up, and caught with a hat without 
difficulty; the account I received was that the flight was very 
sluggish. Probably other captures have occurred. Unfortunately 
entomologists in this county are very few in number, so that 
rarities have very little chance of being recorded. — J. B. 
Piuuty; 2, High Town, Hereford, July 22, 1886. 
HapENA RECTILINEA.—In reply to Mr. A. E. Hall’s enquiry 
about this insect (Kntom. p. 181), my experience is somewhat 
similar to that of the collector he mentions. I first made the 
acquaintance of this species in 1881, when it was the most com- 
mon insect at sugar in a fir-wood near Aberdeen ; but in the three 
following seasons it almost entirely disappeared, only appearing 
singly. I was from home last year and this during the time of 
its appearance, therefore cannot say in what numbers it turned 
up then, but I have not heard of any being taken at all. I shall 
be in the locality in a week, or thereby, and if the season is as 
late in Aberdeenshire as here in Orkney, I shall not be too late
