570 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
observed several quite freshly-emerged specimens, and among them 
on September 28th a paired couple, of which the female was carrying 
the male. A third emergence of this Satyrid in England I imagine 
to be quite unparalleled.—(Rey.) Ginpert H. Rayner; The Lilacs, 
Brampton, Huntingdon, October 9th, 1921. 
[I saw two or three specimens of this species on the Essex coast, 
between Clacton and St. Osyth Marsh, each day from September 28th 
to October 6th this year.—R.S. ] 
ConiAs HYALE 1N Kenr.—On September 6th I caught one 
specimen of Colias hyale at Westgate in a lucerne field. During my 
fortnight’s holiday I did not see any more hyale, although the 
weather was superb, but Pyrameis cardui and Chrysophanus phleas 
were fairly common.—H.O. Wenus; Inchiquin, Epsom, Septem- 
ber 27th, 1921. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA IN Lonpon.—On October 9th I captured a 
specimen of Deiopeia pulchella in Regents Park, London. It was 
flying close to the ground and settling frequently on grass stems. 
Although it moved on whenever I got near it never flew more than 
afew yards before dropping into the grass again, so I succeeded in 
boxing it at last. The specimen is a male and in perfect condition.

DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA AT EHAstpourNE.—I think it may interest 
you to know that I have captured a specimen of Deiopeia pulchella. 
I found it on a football ground in bright sunshine, and was about 
to leave it for a cabbage white, when I noticed its peculiar flight and 
secured it, though badly damaged.—H. Puinny; Aldro School, 
Eastbourne, October 11th, 1921. 
Norrs on SpimnosomMa urtica.—In May and June last I reared 
a series of Spilosoma urtice, the specimens ranging from forms 
without or with but one spot on the fore wings to those more or 
less spotted. Amongst the latter is a specimen which attracted 
notice by reason of the spot markings not being symmetrical. With 
eyesight not so good as it used to be, I found the male specimens 
not easy to distinguish at first sight from the female, there being 
a not very great difference between the antennz of the two sexes, 
although when viewed through a magnifying glass such difference 
is quite apparent. When so viewed the asymmetrical specimen to 
which reference is made above was found to be an hermaphrodite, 
the right antennz being male, the left female. On August 138th 
one specimen emerged, the ovum having been laid in June.—ALAN 
Druirr; Willow Lodge, Christchurch, October 11th, 1921. 
PoRTHESIA SIMILIS IN Ocroprr.—It may interest readers of the 
‘Entomologist’ to know that two freshly emerged examples of 
Porthesia similis (auriflua) were captured to-day in cépula.— 
N. Cuartes Roruscuinp; Ashton Wold, Oundle, Northamptonshire, 
October 8th, 1921.
