THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 183 



enough to know whether the species has been. taken here 

 before. — [Rev-.) J. Greene ; Apsley Road, Redland, Bristol. 



Larva of Deilephila Galii at Wallasey. — Amongst the 

 captures of D. Gahi recorded in last month's 'Entomologist' 

 I saw that one had been taken at New Brighton. Thinking 

 that where the moth was the larva should also be, I made a 

 search, and was successful in discovering it. On the 28th of 

 August I took six feeding on bedstraw (Galium verum), and 

 since then have taken others : other entomologists, to whom 

 I communicated my good fortune, have also found the larvae. 

 J should be glad to know whether it has been found any- 

 where besides at Wallasey. — William Greasley ; Sand Lane, 

 Wallasey, September 14, 1870. 



Second Brood of Notodonta ziczac. — Some Ziczac pupae 

 from last season emerged early this year, and from these 

 I obtained a few eggs, which I placed in a cage apart from 

 any other eggs, and when hatched 1 fed them on sallow : they 

 ate freely and grew fast, and a short time since I discovered 

 that several of them had become pupae. Last Wednesday, 

 on opening my box to place fresh food with the rest of my 

 Ziczac larvae, I discovered a very fine and perfect imago, 

 and since that time another moth has made its appearance. 

 I have at present a few larvae of this moth, found upon 

 poplar, which are exceedingly minute, and others found 

 upon sallow, which are nearly full grown. — {Mrs.) F. I. Bat- 

 ter shy ; Cromlyn, August 27, IS70. 



Apamea ophiogramma. — We have been fortunate in finding 

 this season a solitary specimen of Apamea ophiogramma, 

 captured in a field which borders a stream in our grounds. — 

 Id. 



Liparis dispar near Odiham. — A young collector residing 

 here captured, towards the end of July, a male specimen of 

 Liparis dispar in Butter Wood, about two miles from Odiham. 

 He brought the insect to me for identification : it is both 

 larger and darker than the bred specimens usually seen in 

 collections. — A. J. Spiller; Odiham, September 21, 1870. 



Pachnobia alpina in Perthshire. — During my collecting 

 tour in Scotland, in July, I had the good fortune to take this 

 very rare species, at two o'clock in the morning, at rest on a 

 rock on one of the highest mountains in Perthshire : it is 

 now in the possession of Dr. Battershell Gill. — Thos. Eedle ;
