188 { January, 
Mr. Stainton’s specimen and my own are, I believe, the only recorded south 
British examples of E. fulvago; and their great difference from the ordinary type 
proves that, at any rate, in this case, the southern form is the darker. It is 
singular that two only should have been taken in the south, and that both should 
have occurred near London. 
We have sugared in the same locality both this year and last, but have failed 
to obtain another specimen. 
Dr. Knaggs and several other well-known entomologists have seen the speci- 
men, so that there can be no doubt as to the species. I have heard that there 
was a similar example in the collection of the late Mr. T. H. Allis, of York, now, 
I suppose, in the Museum of that city. It would be interesting to know, if possi- 
ble, the locality in which this specimen was taken,—Henry BartLett, 4, Brecknock 
Street, Camden Town, N.W., November, 1871. 
Captures of Lepidoptera at Guestling in 187 1.—Althongh the season has been 
unfavourable, I have taken several species which may be of sufficient interest to 
justify a short notice. 
June 10th—I bred Clostera curtula from a larva taken the previous autumn. 
13th—This was a warm evening, and I took at light single specimens of Hurymene 
dolobraria, Hypsipetes impluviata, Notodonta camelina, N. ziczac, Newria saponarie, 
and Hadena pisi, about half a-dozen Hadena geniste, together with many other 
common species. The following evening (14th), I took, also at light, Notodonta 
dodonea, Platypteryx falcula, and Aplecta tincta ; and found Acronycta leporina 
ee 
Pa 
on some palings. July 5th—Cryptoblabes bistriga : of this I took two specimens, | 
both accidentally, when striking at larger insects ; 14th—A good number of species 
came to light, but the only two worth mentioning were Acronycta ligustri and 
Ephestia elutella ; 17th—Saw the first specimens of Phycis roborella and Rhodophea 
consociella : the former was met with now and then, the latter quite commonly, 
but mostly worn; they came to light and were also taken by mothing. About 
this time, I took, by mothing, two specimens of Melliphora alveariella (Achroia 
grisella, Stainton’s Manual), and on the 31st, Acronycta auricoma; I had not seen 
it here since 1868. August 12th—A favourable evening for light: I took single 
specimens of Hnnomos erosaria, Platypterye hamula, and Hadena suasa; and on 
the 14th, I was visited by Liparis monacha, Cerigo Cytherea, and Scoparia cembre ; 
25th—I met with a single specimen of Eupithecia expallidata on a window, at the 
hall fan-light ; and on September 12th, I was very much pleased to see in my 
garden, Vanessa c-album, feeding on the ripe and injured plums.—E. N. BLOOMFIELD, 
Guestling, November 18th, 1871.

It is with great satisfaction that we find ourselves in a position to notice a 
monographic work upon Swedish Neuwroptera ; a satisfaction intensified by the fact 
that it is the result of the labours of Pastor Wallengren, who, in the retirement of 
a Swedish village, devotes himself to the study of Entomology in the spirit of a 
true Naturalist. This first instalment comprises the Planipennia ; and naturally
