364 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Butalis chenopodiella. — I am not aware that this species 

 has been taken in any number. It occurred last summer in 

 our garden in abundance; scores of pairs, in cop., were at 

 rest on the walls of the house and garden fences. The larva 

 is not particular in feeding on various garden plants, and 

 somewhat resembles that of a Depressaria, spinning a white, 

 silky web when changing to pupa: possibly its proper food- 

 plant is one of the Chenopodiums. — F. O. S I an dish ;

Nola albiUalis. — Last July I was fortunate in taking a very 

 fine specimen of this pretty and once rare species ; and in 

 giving a friendly hint to the worthy and energetic Mr. Pack- 

 man, who since turned it up in tolerably round numbers. — 

 Id. 



Pterophorus rhododactylus. — Last year I captured several of 

 this pretty, and doubtless the most beautiful of the British, 

 species, being the second year I have taken several. My first 

 discovery of it was by accidentally taking a plume larva out 

 of my net, and diligently watching its changes (which 

 proved successful) led me to its whereabouts, and the capture 

 of many others. — Id. 



Chelonia vilUca. — Observing the pretty variety figured in 

 the 'Entomologist' for February, it may be interesting to 

 know that I have one very similar in my collection, except 

 that it is rather more destitute of the black, and has therefore 

 more of the cream colour. The specimen was bred from a 

 larva taken, I believe, at Willesden.— /o^, 



Liparis dispar in the City. — Four or five years ago 1 took 

 a good male specimen at rest in Mincing Ijane, City. Might 

 this have been a ^V'andsworth example ? — Id. 



Liparis auriflua Doiible-hrooded. — This species, like 

 many others, may occasionally be double-brooded in unusually 

 warm seasons. In the month of October, 1868, I took a 

 female specimen, measuring one inch when set, and it is 

 marked with the brown patch, which is usually the case in 

 the male. — Id. 



Euholia jyeribolata in Jersey. — During a tour in this 

 island early in September, 1864, I found this pretty species 

 not uncommon on the heathy hills of Greve de Lecq. 1 also 

 noticed Charseas Graminis, and the larva of Acronycta tridens 

 on elm. — Id.
