THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 393 



Entomological Notes, Captures, 8fc. • 



Captures on the Kent and Essex Coasts : — 



Liparis dispar. Entomologists will be pleased to hear 

 that Liparis dispar is by no means extinct, as the larva 

 is not uncommon on the straggling bushes of sloe, white- 

 thorn and wild rose, bordering the Essex marshes below 

 Tilbury. 



Emmelesia unifasciata. I am now breeding unifasciata from 

 larvae found last September, on flowers of Bartsia odontites, 

 in this neighbourhood. 



Pterophorus acanthodactylus. I may also mention that 

 the larvae of P. acanthodactylus feeds on the same plant at 

 the same time ; I bred several last October. The perfect 

 insect hybernates. 



Acidalia strigaria and Lythria purpuraria. I have again 

 taken A. strigaria and L. purpuraria. Strigaria appears to be 

 attached to Salvia verbenaca ; but I am not yet prepared to 

 say it is the food-plant of that species. 



Pachetra leucophaea. I have a beautiful specimen of 

 Pachetra leucophaea taken at Gravesend, on a wall, in the 

 day-time, May 24. It was captured by Mr. R. W. Bowyer, 

 of Haileybury College, who left it with me to name. 

 It is a very strongly-marked specimen, and in perfect 

 condition. 



Eupithecia togata. I have taken a fine specimen ofE.togata 

 at light, in Rosherville Gardens, which is a capital place for 

 insects. — D. T. Button.
