250 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
DEILEPHILA EUPHORBIA IN CHESHIRE.—I have had a specimen 
of Deilephila euphorbie brought to me, which was caught at 
Bowdon this season. Evidently the larva had fed near where the 
moth was found, as both wings are crippled on the right side ; 
therefore it could not fly.—J. Cuapprii; 29, Welbeck Street, 
Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, September 1, 1886. 
CHG@ROCAMPA NERII IN SussEx.—I had the pleasure to-day of 
capturing a fine specimen of Cherocampa nerii in the front garden 
of a cottage in Kensington Gardens, about three o’clock in the 
afternoon. The insect was at rest, suspended from the stalk of 
a lily bud. About a quarter of an hour later I called on a 
friend, Mr. F. Trangmar, who at once recognised the insect, 
which was still alive-—T. Lanenry; 7, Elder Place, Brighton, 
September 7, 1886. 
SMERINTHUS OCELLATUS.— The larve of this moth are 
unusually abundant this year on the wild crab. I took half a 
dozen during a short walk, and while shooting could have taken a 
dozen more.—G. M. A. Hewett; South Searle Vicarage, Newark. 
CALLIMORPHA HERA IN SoutH Dryon.— Being anxious to 
settle the question as to the doubtful nativity of Callumorpha 
hera in Devonshire, during the month of August I again worked 
the locality of Dawlish for this species, and was well rewarded, 
having been successful in taking some fine specimens. My first 
observation took place on August 19th, when one (a yellow 
variety) unfortunately escaped. August 26th, one (normal type) 
was brought me by a boy from Starcross. August 27th I took 
three fine ones, another on Aug. 28th, and one more by a boy. 
These were all taken within two miles of Starcross, but in 
different places. On Aug. 31st one (yellow) was taken at light by 
a signalman of Teignmouth, some five miles from the other 
locality; and lastly, on Sept. 5th a lady friend saw one settled on 
a window of St. Mark’s Church, Dawlish, and she succeeded in 
capturing it after service. After this experience I must give it 
as my opinion that C. hera may now be considered as indigenous 
to the coast of South Devon.—J. Jager; 180, Kensington Park 
Road, Notting Hill, W., September, 1886. 
OcNERIA DIspaR.—I have frequently bred this insect from the 
small larval stage. They have invariably pupated well; but on 
the perfect insects emerging nearly four out of five females have
