244 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA IN SourH Wates.—On the 8th June last a 
specimen of a Deiopeia pulchella was taken on the wing here by Mr. Oliver H. 
Jones, of Fonmon Castle, and brought in to me alive. The red spots on the 
wings are very much paler than is usually the case with foreign specimens. 
Another specimen of this insect was taken about a mile from here some 
twelve years ago by Mr. S. H. Romilly, and is, I believe, now in the 
collection of Lord Walsingham.—W. E. R. ALLEN; Porthkerry Rectory, 
Barry, Cardiff, Sept. 12, 1892. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA NEAR SoUTHAMPTON.—A very perfect specimen 
of the rare crimson-speckled Deiopeia pulchella was captured on June 10th, 
by Mr. L. Rybot in a field on the right bank of the Itchen, not far from 
Southampton.—‘ Nature,’ June 16, 1892. 
EUCHLOE CARDAMINES IN AuGust.—When on a visit to Mr. G. F. 
Wilson’s experimental gardens at Wisley, Surrey, on August 20th last, he 
informed me that on the Thursday previous (18th) both himself and his 
head gardener saw a male H. cardamines, which flew close by them. This 
he said was the second specimen the gardener had seen the same week. 
They were undoubtedly representatives of a second brood.—F. W. 
FRouAwk ; Sept. 1892. 
SPHINX PINASTRI IN SuFFOLK.—My sons and self, during the first 
portion of August, captured eleven specimens of S. pinastri during the 
daytime, sitting on the Scotch firs in some woods near here. We left 
several more, which were damaged specimens, on the trees. From a 
female we got several eggs, and have a nice quantity of larve feeding well 
on Scotch fir for the last ten days—RENDLESHAM ; Woodbridge, Sept. 4. 
EREBIA £ZTHIOPS AT ARNCLIFFE.—On August 20th, 1892, I found 
Erebia ethiops fairly abundant in an opening in a wood at Arncliffe, York- 
shire, at a height of about 1000 feet. Most of them were in bad condition. 
The opening was covered with Geranium sanguineum. Chareas graminis 
was also fairly plentiful upon ragwort (Senecio jacobuwa)—H. WitDs; Clay 
Hill House, Enfield, Sept. 15, 1892. 
CosMIA PALEACEA IN SHERWOOD [orust.—As supplementary to Mr. 
Ferris’ note (Hntom. 222), re. Cosmia paleacea (Huperia fulvago), my 
brother and I sugared for it at all its well-known headquarters in Sherwooa, 
near to Hdwinstowe, on the evening of August 25th last, and obtained but 
three specimens, all in a worn condition. As Mr. Ferris took it in numbers 
a fortnight earlier in the same district, 1 think we may put down its date of 
appearance as first week in August.—W. D. Carr; Lincoln, Sept. 2, 1892. 
HaADENA SATURA IN Kent.—On the 19th August, G. Parry sent me a 
fine female H. satura alive, and on the 24th a second specimen, a male ; 
this he sent me also alive. It is seventeen years since he took a specimen 
before. On putting this fine addition in my cabinet, I was struck with the 
large patch nearer the outer margin being like some of my H. atriplicis in 
form, but nothing at all like my Crymodes exulis from Inverness-shire. By 
the way, I have two Noctuwe among my C. ewulis, ticketed, ‘‘ Captured in 
Shetland, by John Rennie, 1876.” Mr. Briggs, when here, said he did not 
know them, and had never seen any specimens like them.—J. B. Hone- 
KINSON; Ashton-on-Ribble, Aug. 31, 1392.
