212 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



BoLETOBiA FULiGiNARiA. — I havG another to record : a very 

 fine male specimen was again taken, two daj^s after that of our 

 friend Mr. WeUman's, by Mr. Upton, of Bermondsey, and is now 

 in my hands, and will be exhibited by me at the next Aquarium 

 meeting.— J. Trimmer Williams; 23, Old Kent Eoad, London. 



BoLETOBiA FULIGINARIA. — I am happy to be able to add one 

 more to the list of captures of the above rarity. My gardener 

 took a female in a box, in a cellar at Lewisham which had been 

 undisturbed for two or three years. Being in some doubt as to 

 the insect, I trespassed on the courtesy of my neighbour, Mr. 

 Jenner Weir, who was good enough to assure me of its 

 genuineness without a moment's delay. Another empty cocoon 

 was in the same box, but, though we have sugared and searched 

 carefully, we have not been able to tempt its former occupant to 

 our bottle. Both insect and cocoon are in an almost perfect 

 condition, the antennse only being slightly shortened. — Fred. W. 

 Smith; Hollywood House, Blackheath, August 22, 1881. 



Boletobia FULIGINARIA. — A few days ago I caught a small 

 moth in a cellar on a very old box, and not knowing what it was 

 I asked some of my friends. It proves to be Boletobia fiiUginaria.

 [This and the preceding appear to refer to the same species.

Food-plants of Acidalia immutata. — The larva of this 

 species is, I believe, little known. Whilst collecting at Wicken 

 Fen at the end of May this year I took two larvae, one feeding on 

 Valeriana ojicinalis, the other on Spircea ulmaria. They spun up 

 within a few days, and appeared as imagos at the end of June. — 

 Gilbert H. Raynor ; Hazeleigh Rectory, Maldon, Essex. 



Coremia quadrifasciaria. — In June last a specimen of this 

 local moth was taken by a friend of mine at Danbury, near 

 Chelmsford, in Essex. This, I believe, is a new locality for it. — 

 H. CuBisoN ; 29, Jeffrey's Road, Clapham, August 12, 1881. 



Eupithecia jasioneata, Crewe. — In June, 1878, I had the 

 pleasure of rearing a long series of an Eupithecia which puzzled 

 me much at the time. I sent several specimens away to corre- 

 spondents as a new species or variety of E. castigata, with a query 

 after them. The larvae were found feeding on Jasione montana 

 by my collectors, while tbey were working near Valentia, South-
