210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
VARIETY OF ARGE GALATHEA; HrsperRIA ACTHON IN CorN- 
WALL; HKupirHeciA TOGATA IN WintsuirE.—I took last year, 
near Marlborough, an odd variety of A. galathea, in which all the 
black markings were “ Indian red,” and the ground colour pale 
yellowish green. Some years back I took H. acteon in some 
numbers at Truro, Cornwall, in good condition and quite unmis- 
takable; but have not seen it there since. ‘Towards the end of 
June this year I took one EH. togata, in good condition, at 
Severnake Forest; the red bands are very distinct.—H. F. 
Berenson; Addington Park, Croydon. 
Lycmna acis IN SoutH Wates.—In company with the 
Rev. C. T. Crutwell, I was fortunate in capturing a specimen of 
this rare butterfly in fair condition, flying over thyme, at Tenby. 
The following day I visited the spot again under most unfavour- 
able circumstances, the wind blowing quite a gale. I saw a 
second specimen, and got it in the net; but being over careful in 
trying to box it, to my regret it slipped through my fingers, the 
wind taking it out of sight. Perhaps some of your correspondents 
can inform me if it has been taken before in South Wales, as I 
am under the impression that I have seen it recorded from there.

[In Newman's ‘British Butterflies’ (p. 133) we read:— 
“ Glamorganshire. In 1835, 1836, and 1837, I could take Acis 
in plenty, but have not seen it since.—Z. Parry, Merthyr 
‘ Intelligencer,’ vol. vi., p. 28. Croesgid, near Llantrissant, rare. 
—Evan John. I have seen, but not taken, Glamorganshire 
specimens.—J. 7’. D. Llewelyn. Monmouthshire. I have taken 
one specimen at St. Julians.—George Lock.” Myr. A. E. Hudd 
captured six specimens in South Wales in June, 1871 (E. M. M., 
vili. 118); and it has repeatedly been recorded in some numbers 
from the neighbourhood of Cardiff (Entom. viii. 161, 271; x. 5, 
19; xi. 104).—E. A. F.] 
DEILEPHILA LIVORNICA IN Hssex.—A very large specimen of 
this fine hawk-moth was brought to me on July 30th, having 
been taken the day previous sitting in a cart-rut in the road out- 
side St. James’ Street Railway Station, at Walthamstow. It is 
now in the collection of Mr. J. A. Clark, of Hackney.—W. J. 
Harrrer; 66, Mansfield Street, Kingsland Road, Aug. 16, 1883.
