1871.) lta 
Pieris Daplidice and Deiopeia pulchella near Brighton.—A large specimen of 
P. Daplidice was caught at Bevingdean, near Brighton, on the 27th August last. 
The insect is in good condition, with the exception of a slight chip on the hind 
margin of one of the fore-wings. 
On Monday last, a 2 specimen of D. pulchella was taken in a stubble-field near 
the Brighton Race Course, and was brought to me alive, a few hours afterwards, by 
its fortunate captor. I have had the pleasure of adding both insects to my collec- 
tion.—H. Goss, Brighton, September 16th, 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Hove and Brighton.—On the 4th, about 10.15 a.m., I was 
fortunate enough to take a very fine specimen of D. pulchella, in a stubble-field, in 
Hove. 
On the 11th a somewhat worn specimen was taken about 3 o'clock, p.m., on 
the Race Hill, by Mr. Gorringe, of Richmond Buildings, who showed it to me alive 
last night.—T. W. Wonror, Hon. sec. Brighton and Sussex Nat. Hist. Society, 38, 
Buckingham Place, Brighton, September 12th, 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella near Erith.—A fine specimen of Deiopeia pulchella was 
taken on Monday last by a little girl, and brought to me before its wings had quite 
stiffened. It was caught in a field close to my house.—J. G. Woop, Belvedere, S.E., 
September 16th, 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Bournemouth.—This morning I saw a Deiopeia pulchella 
flying briskly in the sunshine. It settled for a minute near to me, so that I 
saw it distinctly, then arose and flew over the steep cliff, where I could not pursue 
it, and, indeed, I had little chance of capturing it with a sweeping-net.—J. W. 
Dovetas, Bournemouth, 11th September, 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella near Bristol—A male specimen of this rare insect, in very 
good condition, was taken on the 10th inst. by my mother, in a garden at Bishops- 
ton, near Bristol.—J. B. Jarvis, Hill Cottage, Brixton Hill, 8.W., 20th Sept., 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella near Manchester.—I possess a female of this rare insect, in 
good condition, captured on the 8th inst., in the Railway Coal-yard at Middleton 
Station, by a workman, who boxed it from mere curiosity, attracted by its beauty. 
—Joun Tuorrn, Church Street, Middleton, Manchester, 19th Sept., 1871. 
Leucania albipuncta near Exeter.—On the 23rd of August I captured at sugar, 
in my orchard, a very perfect specimen of Leucania albipuncta. Its ally, lithar- 
gyria, is a very common insect with me, and I had this season closely examined a 
great many of them before the former made its appearance. The clean, white spot 
on the wings immediately attracted my attention, and this, together with the 
smaller size, and darker upper-wings, unmistakeably distinguishes it from lithargy- 
ria; in other points also it quite corresponds with Guenée’s description.—H. 
D’OrvittE, Alphington, near Exeter, September 11th, 1871. 
Sphinw convolvuli near Exeter.—I last night captured S. convoluuli at my 
Petunia bed.—Ib. 
Sphinw convolvuli at South Shields.—I received from a friend a large specimen 
of this noble moth, which was found floating in the Tyne near the Mill Dam landing. 
The insect was very lively when it reached me, but is unfit for the cabinet in conse- 
quence of having been handled.—Curistr. Earzs, Grace Street, Catherine Street, 
South Shields, September 13th, 1871.
