THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 183 
Macroglossa stellatarum and Choerocampa porcellus.— 
Last August I was fortunate enough to find a number of the 
larve both of Stellatarum and Porcellus, which I was anxious 
to distribute amongst those who wanted them; but by the 
time the September number of the ‘ Entomologist’ came out, 
nearly all had spun up, and consequently very many who 
-Were most anxious to obtain them were disappointed. As 
I believe I most likely shall find more, I should be glad to 
receive the address of correspondents wishing to obtain the 
larvee I have before mentioned.—H. Neale ; 22, St. Martin's 
Church Street, Salisbury, July 22, 1876. 
Heliothis peltiger at Blackpool.—\t may perhaps interest 
entomologists to learn that my brother captured a fine female 
of Heliothis peltiger on the 22nd of June, at Blackpool.—

Leucania vitellina in the New Forest.—I\t may be inte- 
resting to record the capture of L. vitellina, at sugar, by Mr. 
George Tate, in the New Forest, in September last. He 
remained, however, in perfect ignorance of the importance of 
his capture, till the insect was recognised by a London 
entomologist. Mr. Tate has transferred it to my cabinet.—

Cossus ligniperda at Sugar.—With reference to this 
species (as | do not think that it is generally known to be 
one of our sugar-visitors) 1 would just remark that I captured 
a fine specimen on the 20th July, which was freely partaking 
of the sweets ; indeed, it seemed feasting upon the luxury to 
the same extent as a Derasa or Batis would.—H. T’.

Tillus unifasciatus and Xylotrogus brunneus.—On the 
9th of July I detected a specimen of T’. unifasciatus on some 
oak palings in this neighbourhood; on the following day I 
took another; and on the 12th two more, and lost another; 
on the 15th [ missed another, as it fell amongst the long 
grass and escaped; on the 17th [ took two more. Lyctus 
caniculatus was very abundant, and amongst them I detected 
seven specimens of the rare Xylotrogus brunneus. Is any- 
thing known in what trees these three species feed, as they 
evidently only come to suck the new wood? As the locality 
is close at hand, I visit the spot daily, morning and afternoon ;
