54 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
afterwards, though there is a melancholy revenge in the 
thought that my cat devoured the mouse that same day. I 
did not take the care of it I ought to have done, as I was 
then engaged with Coleoptera, and did not know the prize I 
had in my possession. Since then I have turned my attention 
to Macro-Lepidoptera. In the summer of 1872 I found, in a 
wood infested with Cucullia Asteris, a caterpillar, which I 
believed to be the larva of Cucullia Gnaphalii; unfortunately 
it came to an untimely end. A like fate befel another speci- 
men of the same species, which I found in the same wood in 
1873. However, in 18741 found the perfect imago at rest on 
palings not very far distant, and a few evenings afterwards 
took a second specimen flying in the same wood where I had 
previously found the larve. These two specimens are now in 
my collection.—[Rev.] Thomas E. Crallan; Hayward’s 
Heath, Sussex, February 5, 1875. 
Deiopeia pulchella near Scarborough.—It may be interest- 
ing to some of the readers of the ‘ Entomologist’ to hear that 
I took a fine specimen of Deiopeia pulchella, near Scar- 
borough, in June, 1870.— John M. Benson; 5, Beech Grove 
Terrace, Leeds, January 6, 1875. 
Cucullia Scrophularie (Entom. viii. 37.\—In reply to 
Mr. Doubleday, I may say that I am by no means confident 
that the species I took at Whittlesea belongs to this; 
and it appears I forgot to insert a note of interrogation after 
it in my list. I found the larve feeding on figwort (Ver- 
bascum *) in the latter part of June, and thought they must 
either be Scrophulariz or Verbasci. I was not aware that 
the former was such a rare insect in this country. They are 
now in the pupa state, and their appearance will decide. 
Should I have made a mistake I will correct it then.— 
S. L. Mosley; Edwinstowe, February 15, 1875. 
Leucophasia Sinapis (Entom. viii. 37)—I1 thank Mr. 
Doubleday for his information about this species, but it 
seems a matter of opinion, with very few facts to support it. 
I think those who live in localities for Sinapis would do well 
to investigate the matter. The white specimens that have 
come under my notice have generally been larger than the 
black-tipped ones, and especially broader in the fore 
wing.—Jd. 
* The figwort is Scrophularia; the mullein, Verbascum; hence, perhaps, 
the confusion of names.—Edward Newman.
