THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 999 
of the 30th August, 1875, a friend of mine captured two very 
fine Cirrhedia xerampelina in a telegraph-box, at Grantham, 
which he kindly presented to me. Four specimens have 
now been taken during the last fifteen years at Grantham.— 
Isaac Robinson ; Grantham. 
Cirrheedia xerampelina near Manchester.—It may perhaps 
interest Lancashire entomologists to learn that on the 7th of 
September I took a good specimen of Cirrheedia xerampelina 
on a lamp in this vicinity. Ihave also seen several wasted 
specimens of this beautiful insect.—J. H. Aspinwall; Oak 
Bank, Withington, Manchester, September 21, 1875. 
Fadena peregrina at Kingston, Surrey.—l have just been 
so fortunate as to capture a fine fresh specimen of Hadena 
peregrina, sitting on palings in this neighbourhood, but 
unfortunately one hind wing is not perfect. I took it on the 
17th of September, about 3 p.m.—W. Thomas; Surbiton 
Villa, Surbiton, September 17, 1875. 
(Is Mr. Thomas sure of the identity of this insect ?— 
Edward Newman.) 
Hadena satura in Kent.—During the last week of July I 
took a very fine specimen of Hadena satura at sugar, on 
Braborne Downs. Since then Mr. Edney, a collector here, 
has taken two more, which I now possess, at the same place. 
The first that I ever saw was taken by Mr. Edney, in August, 
1873, and sent alive to Mr. Doubleday, who named it, and 
told-him he had a large female taken by the late Mr. Harry 
Osborne.—G. Parry; Church Street, St. Paul's, Canter- 
bury, August 23, 1875. 
Cucullia Gnaphalii near Seal, in Kent.—l had the good 
fortune to take five larvee of Cucullia Gnaphalii on plants of 
golden-rod: two on August Ist, and three on the 2nd, near 
Seal, Kent. I found them feeding on the leaves, and not on 
the flowers of the plant, as C. Asteris does.—C. W. Simmons ; 
39, Market Street, Caledonian Road, London, N., August 4, 
1875. 
Spilodes palealis in Norfolk.—On the 20th of August I 
took two specimens of this insect; one in my garden at 
Thetford, and the other in Croxton parish, three miles 
distant. Mr. Barrett, in his able paper on Norfolk, says, 
“No recent captures have been recorded.” Colias Edusa 
and C. Hyale seem to have changed seasons, as | took in the 
_ same locality C. Edusa on the 24th of June, and C. Hyale at
