whilst the specific diagnosis runs as follows: ‘ C. longiventris, Hartig: a Oyn. folii 
wie distinguenda, nisi antennis articulis 2 ultimis connatis, colore rufo capitis, 
thoracis pedumque magis extenso. Long. 1—1} lin.?.” (Germar’s Zeitschrift f. d. 
Entomologie, 1840, Vol. ii, pp. 187 and 188). 
I pen these lines to induce observers in all parts of the kingdom to look out 
for this gall, as its distribution in this country is unknown at present. 
Notes on stations may be published in this Magazine, or sent by letter either 
to my friend, Mr. H. W. Kidd, of Godalming, or to myself.—ALBERT MULLER, 
Eaton Cottage, South Norwood, 8.H., 26th August, 1870. 
Occurrence of Pieris Daplidice in Epping forest—A week or two ago, I paid a 
visit to my cousin, Mr. Walter Nash, of Sydenham, and he showed me a small 
collection of butterflies and moths which he had made in Epping forest, when he 
was there in 1866. Amongst them I found a fine male Pieris Daplidice. There is 
no doubt that he took it himself, and in Epping forest, for he has never been 
abroad, and never collected anywhere else; and, school-boy like, he pinned his 
insects with any pin that came first—the specimen in question being impaled with 
a rather large, undoubtedly English, black pin. This specimen, which he has very 
kindly given to me, is well set and in capital condition, with the exception that it 
has lost its antenne.—ArtTHUR Corram, St. John’s Road, Watford, September 
16th, 1870. 
Capture of Vanessa Antiopa near Rochester—I have to announce the recent 
capture of a fine female V. Antiopa at Delce, Rochester. It was flying about under 
a pear tree, attracted, I suppose, by the fallen fruit.—-James FurtcuEr, Delce, 
Rochester, August 22nd, 1870. 
Larva of Vanessa Antiopa.—When at Andermatt, on the lOth of August, I 
was looking amongst some little willows on the banks of the Reuss, and on one 
bush my eyes were gladdened with the sight (for the first time) of the larva of 
Vanessa Antiopa. It was nearly full-fed, and I thought looked sickly. I searched 
the bush well, hoping to find others, but neither there, nor on any neighbouring 
willow bush, could I find more of these handsome larve. The next evening, 
passing the same spot, I looked to see if my friend were still there, and regretted 
sadly that Hmsworth was so far off; could I have placed it in Mr. Buckler’s 
hands that evening, he would have made a splendid drawing of it. Its sickly look 
of the previous evening had passed away, and it was only the manifestly near 
approach to pupation (which could never have been safely accomplished on the 
journey, had I taken the larva) that induced me to leave it to enjoy its thin moun- 
tain air, nearly 5000 feet above the sea. 
Curtis’s figure gives a very good idea of the larva.—H. T. Stainton, Mounts- 
field, Lewisham, September 3rd, 1870. 
Argynnis Ewphrosyne deceived.—I see a remark in this month’s (August) “ E. 
M.M.” about Lycena Alewis being deceived with bits of blue paper. This reminds 
me of a circumstance which came under my notice some years ago at Leigh. I
