210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
venture to broach any suggestions of my own, but give the 
readers of the ‘Entomologist’ the benefit of another extract 
from Mr. Greene’s most useful book:—“ Insert the pin 
exactly in the centre of the thorax. The head of the pin 
must slope a very little forwards towards the head of the 
insect; this will not be noticed when the moth is set. The 
pin should be clear of the moth on the wnder side three- 
eighths of an inch. It is of great importance that the pin 
(the upper part of course) should not lean on either side.” I 
can add nothing to this good advice. I only say—follow 
it strictly —[Rev.] P. H. Jennings; Longfield Rectory, 
Gravesend, August 21, 1876. 
Erratum.—In the article, “Agrotis tritici and Agrotis 
aquilina,” in the August number of the ‘ Entomologist’ 
(Entom. ix. 169), owing to an unfortunate error the two 
figures were transposed. ‘Thus the figure named “ Agrotis 
tritici” should have been named “Agrotis aquilina,” and 
vice versd,— Ed. 
Answers to Correspondents. 
Callimorpha Hera.—I have lately taken here two or three 
moths which seem different from any I have found in Great 
Britain. Perhaps some of your readers who have foreign 
insects may be able to give me the name through your 
magazine. Jtis about the size of Chelonia villica or Calli- 
morpha dominula. It seems to me a species of Arctia.— 
H.C. Hodges ; Lannion, Bretagne, France, August 8, 1876. 
[The moth is Callimorpha Hera. It was figured in the 
‘Entomologist, volume vi., page 33; and a description is 
there given of the larva and of the perfect insect. Other 
information is also given, from which the following extracts 
may be of interest:—“It is many years since Captain 
Russell announced the capture of several specimens of Hera 
in Wales. * * The announcement, however, like many others 
to the same purport, was disregarded, J believe, from an 
impression that the larve had been imported from the 
Channel Islands. This has certainly been the case in some 
instances ; and therefore every instance of capture is open to 
the suspicion, seeing that, like Clostera anachoreta, the 
species has failed to establish a permanent footing in Britain.”
