Captures of Lepidoptera and Enquiries respecting certain Species. 



Colias Edusa and Hyale. I did not see a living specimen of either of these spe- 

 cies last year, nor have I heard of their capture near London. 



Psyche fusca. Was taken in some of the woods about Hornsey last year, by the 

 " practical entomologists." 



Chersotis agathina, Boisduval, Lytcea albimacula, Stephens. I took'seven on the 

 flowers of the ling (Calluna vulgaris), at Wickham, in August, and others have been 

 taken at Weybridge, &c. Boisduval places this moth in his genus Chersotis, next to 

 Porphyrea, and Guenee makes it an Agrotis, and puts it next to Tritici. It is cer- 

 tainly related to both these species. 



Agrotis lunigera. A few specimens of this distinct species were taken many years 

 ago near Cork, but I never heard of its capture since. Do any readers of the 

 1 Zoologist ' know of an instance ? 



Segetia neglecta. Has occurred at Wickham and several other places, in August 

 last, on flowers of ling.
