ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, é&e., 
Contras EDUSA AND C. HYALE 1N 1892.—A large number of commu- 
nications have been received during September referring to the occurrence 
of these species in Britain. As many of the records came to hand too late 
to be inserted in the list, under their proper county heading, it was deemed 
advisable to defer publication of the whole until November.—Ep. 
PLUSIA MONETA BRED.—We are pleased to inform our readers that this 
species has been bred, on September 5th and 13th, by Mr. Gervase F’. 
Mathew, who found pupe on monkshood in a garden at Frinstead in Kent. 
Full particulars of this interesting and important event will appear in a 
paper by Mr. Mathew, which will be published in the November ‘Ento- 
mologist. —Ep. 
TAPINOSTOLA EXTREMA IN STAFFORDSHIRE: A CorRECTION.—I have 
to apologise to you and your readers for having too hastily recorded the 
capture of 7’. extrema (concolor), (Eutom. 197). I send you the insect, and 
I think you will allow that its close resemblance to the figure and descrip- 
tion in Newman, and to the coloured figure in Morris, is some excuse for 
the mistake. I fully acknowledge that I ought to have taken further steps 
to identify the insect before recording it. Since writing to you last, I sent 
the insect to Mr. Farn, with whom I had been in correspondence. At the 
first look at it he was inclined to believe it really was extrema, but on further 
examination came to the conclusion that it was a worn specimen of Miana 
ENTOM.—octT. 1892. Z
