220 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Scorosia VETULATA AT Hampsrrap.—On June 2nd, at Hamp- 
stead, I found about thirty larvee of S. vetulata. ‘They were then 
nearly full grown, and in the course of a day or two changed to 
pupe, from which, on July 1st, two dozen imagos emerged. I 
believe that this is a new locality.—P. F. ALEXANDER ; Ivy Cottage, 
Lower Heath, Hampstead. 
EMMELESIA UNIFASCIATA TWO YEARS IN Pupa.—In December, 
1878, I received, from a London correspondent, half-a-dozen pup 
of EL. wntfasciata. From these one or two moths emerged in 
August, 1879. Of the remainder, one to my surprise produced a 
perfect imago in July of this year. Is this at all usual ? or is it 
another evidence of the abnormal character of the weather last 
year ?— Cuas. F. Tuornewrit; The Soho, Burton-on-Trent, 
August 19, 1886. : 
[Very little is known about this subject. It is probable that 
most species of Lepidoptera do, under abnormal circumstances, 
remain in the pupa state for very long periods. A series of 
experiments with pups ought not to be difficult to conduct, and 
would be of great interest.—- Ep.] 
Capture of TINEA ALBIPUNCTELLA, &c., AT WITHERSLACK.— 
I spent four days at the above place, from the 4th to the 8th of 
August, 1880. ‘The weather only let me have about three hour's 
collecting each day. By diligent work I took a fair lot of speci- 
mens. Scoparia truncicolalis in swarms; a Scoparia n.s. very 
distinct. Plenty of Argyresthia aurulentella and Andereggiella ; a 
few Sciaphila penziana, and Amphysa gerningana in_ plenty; 
one Asychna profugella, and a few Zelleria hepariella. Tinea 
albipunctella has puzzled me for the last twenty years. During 
all that time I have taken perhaps a dozen specimens. I was 
determined to find out more about it, if possible; so I worked 
about where I took four specimens, and succeeded in taking ten, 
and ultimately found a few empty cases protruding from fungi on 
an old stump. It was only the last hours that rewarded my 
search for so many years. The sticks and stumps that have been 
broken up in search of this species must have been a big cart- 
load. Next year I shall bring the old stumps home, and hope to 
rear some imagos from them.—J. B. Hopexinson; Preston. 
CHRYSOCLISTA BIMACULELLA.— My sister, while at Hastings, 
was fortunate in taking, about the middle of last month, a
