44 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Anticlea sinuata in Hampshire-—The occurrence of a 
specimen of this local insect—near Winchester, I believe—is 
recorded in the August number of this journal (Entom. vi. 
456). This specimen was taken on the 10th of July, 1873. 
One evening, on the 30th of the same month, I was collecting 
on the borders of the New Forest, taking a few of the pretty 
little A. emarginata,—which, indeed, was about the only 
species to be met with, for everything has been unusually 
scarce this season,—and I was somewhat surprised to beat 
out a very good specimen of A. sinuata from a bush of 
hawthorn and bramble. I believe it is the first instance of its 
occurrence in the neighbourhood of the New Forest; and, 
although I visited the locality several evenings after my 
capture, I did not see another specimen. ‘The one I caught 
is the first I ever saw alive.—G. B. Corbin. 
Chauliodus cherophyllellus bred.—Towards the end of 
August last I gathered a few larve of this species from off 
the parsnep growing in my garden. The larva may be 
detected on the under side of the leaf, near the tip, by giving 
it a ragged appearance; it changes to pupa by making a 
netted web on the leaf, and the insect appears in a week or 
two afterwards. The larva is not much unlike that of 
Xylopoda Fabriciana—F. O. Standish; 402, High Street, 
Cheltenham, November 30, 1873. 
Cetonia aurata, or the Rose-beetle.—Not being a Coleop- 
terist I do not know whether it will interest your readers to 
know that, while digging round an old ash-tree for pupe of 
Lepidoptera, I turned out from a decayed part of the tree 
about a dozen of this beetle, each in a strongly-made earth- 
cocoon, similar to that of Cucullia Verbasci, except that. it 
was free from web. May I ask if it is usual for this pretty 
beetle to hybernate in this singular way '—Jd. 
[It had probably fed on the decayed wood of the ash, and 
had emerged from the pupa state without flying. I do not 
think it could be said to have hybernated.—E. Newman.| 
Carabus nitens in the New Forest.—During a day’s col- 
lecting of Lepidoptera in the New Forest I caught two, and 
saw several others, of this lovely ground-beetle. They were 
running about in the sunshine on a boggy piece of heath, 
and seemed to lose much of their activity if the weather 
became cloudy. Is such a habit common to this species? as
