998 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Leucania albipuncta and Catocala Fraxini at Folkestone. 
—This year I have again had the pleasure of taking 
L. albipuncta at Folkestone, namely, single specimens on 
the Ist and 2nd of September respectively. I also had the 
unexpected good fortune of capturing at Folkestone, on the 
5th of September, a worn example of C. Fraxini.—Charles 
Oldham; Newton House, Amhurst Road, Hackney, Sep- 
tember 21, 1874. 
Is not Diantheecia Capsincola Double-brooded ?—1 took 
fresh specimens of D. Capsincola last May, and bred a long 
series last month from larve collected during July. I am 
taking the larve again now. Only one brood is mentioned— 
the August one—in Newman’s ‘ British Moths.—J. A. Lilly ; 
Paignton, September 19, 1874. 
Epunda nigra and Noctua glareosa at Sherwood Forest.— 
On the 27th of August I took a fine specimen of E. nigra 
at sugar: I took it when the moths were swarming, just after 
(or rather during) a thunder-shower. On the 7th of Septem- 
ber I took Noctua glareosa in profusion on the heather: 
a friend was with me, and for several succeeding nights we 
found their numbers, to all appearances, undiminished.—

Noctua sobrina and Pachnobia alpina. —In your notice of 
these moths from me in last month’s ‘ Entomologist,’ you say, 
at the head of each, “In Rannoch.” That is an error, as 
neither species were taken in Rannoch, but both in Breadal- 
bane, much to the south of Rannoch, where I did some 
successful collecting.—John T. Carrington. 
Notes on Trichiura Crategi.—The information we gain 
from books on the economy of this species is somewhat 
meagre and unsatisfactory, and it is probably owing to this 
that we find many cabinets without this insect. As far as 
my experience and information go, this species seems to 
occur pretty generally throughout the south-eastern counties 
of England. The moth leaves the pupal state from the 20th 
of August to the middle of September: it seems to emerge 
invariably between five and seven in the evening; the females 
remain almost motionless, but the males dash about excitedly 
for an hour or so between six and seven in the evening. 
They have, doubtless, a second flight in the small hours of 
the morning, though I cannot vouch for this. It is, however,
