NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 221 
of Deiopeia pulchella. I searched the field, which was a very large one, 
thoroughly, and eventually captured another very transparent specimen, 
about 150 yards from where I had caught the first. —W. W. Esam; 
Upperton College, Eastbourne, August, 1892. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA AT Bricuron. — A fine specimen of Deiopeia 
pulchella was captured on the barrack-walls last month by a street boy.— 
C. G. Morris; 4, Oriental Place, Brighton, Aug. 9, 1892. 
LaRv&® or VANESSA CARDUI AT CHESTER.—The numerous specimens 
of V. cardui I referred to in the ‘ Entomologist’ for July have now larval 
representatives on the nettles in several of the country lanes near the city. 
This is the first time I have come across the larve in this district, and on 
previous occasions I have always found them upon thistles. — J. ARKLE; 
Chester. 
Lyc#na ARIoN In South Drvon.—During the first half of July last, I 
had the pleasure of taking this butterfly in the neighbourhood of Selcombe. 
I explored a good deal of the coast in search of the species, and found it 
inclined to be very local, and not very abundant even where it occurred. It 
can hardly have been too late for the species, as out of about twenty-five 
specimens, which I managed to net, two-thirds were in very fair condition, 
and a few absolutely perfect. The riotous profusion of commoner butterflies 
about the coast here is a very pleasant sight, especially so to anyone 
accustomed to the Bristol neighbourhood. ‘The most conspicuous species 
were perhaps Argynnis aglaia, Satyrus semele, Vanessa urtice, and (in places) 
Lycena egon, together with plenty of Hpinephele hyperanthes, EH. tithonus, 
FE. ianira, Pararge egeria, Cenonympha pamphilus, Polyommatus phleas, 
Hesperia sylvanus, H. linea, and a few Argynnis selene, Thecla rubi, and 
Lycena alexis. Hybernated specimens of Vanessa cardui and J. atalanta 
were to be seen; the first fresh specimen of the latter I netted on July 12th. 
Larve of both were very abundant. Macroglossa stellatarum was to be 
seen commonly at blossoms of Centranthus ruber ; also seen to visit the red 
campion and Calamintha clinopodium. I did not get a glimpse of Colias 
edusa, but have met with one here to-day (7th August)—R. M. PripEaux; 
9, Vyvyan Terrace, Clifton, Bristol, Aug. 7, 1892. 
ANTICLEA RUBIDATA THE SECOND YHAR IN Pupa.—lI bred several speci- 
mens of Anticlea rubidata during June from ova laid by a female captured 
in July, 1890.—JosnrH AnDuRSON, Jun.; Chichester. 
APAMEA OPHIOGRAMMA AT EnrreLD.—In the year 1889 I captured, at 
Bush Hill Park, near Enfield, a moth which I was unable to name. But 
last week, on sending it to Mr. Cooke, he pronounced it to be a specimen 
of Apamea ophiogramma, which, as he says, “is now decidedly rare.” It 
is a fair specimen, and was taken flying in the house, probably attracted by 
the light.—F. W. Jones; Harley Lodge, Enfield, Aug. 14, 1892. 
ARGYNNIS PAPHIA, &c., NEAR Brecon.—On August 4th I captured 
twenty-two good specimens of Argynnis paphia in av opening of a pine- 
wood near Brecon. At the same place I also caught seven Grapta c-album, 
in good condition. The opening was one mass of thistles and brambles. 
I have also seen specimens of Colias edusa in this district—ELDRED 
Goxpon Brooke; Gwenffrwd, Alexaudra Road, Brecon, Aug, 6, 1892.
