DescriIPTION OF THE Larva oF Cmarta FULVATA. — So far 
as I know there is no English description of the larva of this 
common species; it may therefore be advisable to publish 
one. My first acquaintance with it was on June 16th, 1877, 
when, on the occasion of an excursion of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ 
Union to Sharlston, near Wakefield, I beat one out of a rose bush. 
Since then I have found it easily enough. Length about five- 
sixths of an inch, and of average bulk in proportion. Head 
rather narrower than the second segment; it has the lobes 
rounded, and when at rest appears to be notched on the crown: 
the notch, however, is really on the second segment, being 
formed by an extension of the skin into two prominences above 
the top of the head, and thus forming the notch. Body of 
nearly uniform width, rounded above and below, but the two 
portions divided by a wrinkled lateral ridge ; the skin also has a 
wrinkled appearance, and the segments are very distinctly divided. 
Head and the ground colour of the body uniformly bright pale 
ereen ; dorsal stripe composed of a double grey line; subdorsal 
lines of the same colour, but more boldly defined; a yellow 
margin forming the spiracular line extends along the lateral 
ridge; and the segmental divisions are also yellow. Ventral 
surface, legs, and prolegs bright pale green, the posterior seg- 
ments yellower, and all the segmental divisions yellow. On the 
25th of the same month the larva changed to a pupa amongst the 
leaves of its sprig of rose; this was about three-eighths of an 
inch long, the colour almost uniformly of a dull green. From it 
an imago emerged on the 13th of the following month.—Gro. T. 
Porritt; Highroyd House, Huddersfield. 
SmEeRINTHUS PopuLI (hermaphrodites)—Amongst a number 
of S. populi I am now rearing from pupe, I find two _ her- 
maphrodite specimens having each a male and female antenna. 
One of these is depositing eggs.—Hpmunp SHUTTLEWORTH ; 59, 
Charlotte Street, Portland Place, W., April 16, 1880. 
Captures at Torquay.—During March I searched for larve 
of Stilbia anomala and Heliophobus hispida, for the first time this 
year, expecting to find them nearly full fed and in some 
abundance. I was greatly mistaken, for we only found one
