Another capture of Argynnis Lathonia, at Colchester. — Since I last wrote I have 
i the pleasure of taking another beautiful specimen of A. Lathonia, and have also 
t with Sjpilodes sticticaUs, and a few pupae of Cyjnatophora ocularis. — W. H. Har- 
OD, St. Peter's, Colchester, 16th September, 1868. 
Abnormal brood of E. russula. — Some of the larvae from a batch of eggs of this 
ect, sent to me in the third week of last June, fed up with marvellous rapidity, 
ny of them assumed the pupal state early in August, and the first imago 
erged on the 15th of that month. This species usually passes the winter in the 
m of a small larva, and feeds up in the next spring. — Mrs. Hutchinson, Grants- 
d, Leominster, September, 1868. 
Occwyrence of Euperia fulvago in Scotland. — About the end of last July I found 
pecimen of this handsome moth on the flowers of Erica tetralix ; and subse- 
mtly, by working hard, took a few more on the flowers of the same plant and of 
'.luna vulgaris. Two specimens also came to " sugar!*' This species, which 
ms to be very local in England, is, I believe, unrecorded hitherto as Scottish. —

New locality for Scoparia angustea, Steph. ; S^c. — During the past week I have 
t with this species at Folkestone, where it appeared to be by no means uncom- 
n ; but, believing the locality to be new, think the occurrence sTiould be recorded, 
lay mention that I also found several larvEe of Sericoris euphorhiana in the closed 
ids of Euphorbia amygdaloides, and that a female Qalleria mellonella made its 
joarance in the house. — Howard Vaughan, Kentish Town, 11th September, 1868 
Cerostoma scahrella near Croydon. — During a short stay at Croydon, last July, 
ras lucky enough to meet with three specimens of Cerostoma scabrella, on an old 
ce in the vicinity of Croham Hurst. — James L. Courtice, Camden Town, N.W., 
)tember 3r(2. 
Occwrence of a Scoparia (Sc. Zelleri, WockeJ new to Britain. — One evening in 
y, my friend Mr. Horton captured here, in my dining-room, a fine example of a 
paria, as large as, or even larger than, Sc. cembrce, but grey in tint, like Sc. 
bigualis. Dr. Knaggs informs me that it is identical with specimens in his 
isession received from Dr. Staudinger, under the above name. — George J. 
arder, Joint Counties' Asylum, Carmarthen, August 27th. 
Scoparia Zelleri at Nonvood. — A second example of this species was left with 
for determination some time since. It was taken at Norwood by Mr. Pryor 
o will perhaps, when this meets his eye, favour us with an account of its capture,

The larva of Abraxas grossulariata distasteful to frogs. — At a recent meeting of 
) Entomological Society, when the question of the distasteful nature of certain 
ects and their larvae was being discussed, I mentioned that three individuals of 
) green lizard formerly in my possession had always shown a particular aversion 
certain catei-pillars. Amongst those invariably rejected I especially noticed A. 
'ssulariata ; this, too, seemed particularly strange, inasmuch as they never refused 
devour the pei-fect insect of the same species.
