THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
I took a very fine specimen of T. Leuco- 
yrapha, at rest on palings. — G. Keen,

COLEOPTERA. 
Cassida obsolela. — This insect is be- 
ginning to make its appearance on the 
bank on which it occurred last year. I 
have obtained a few specimens, and .sball 
probably be able to take a few more, and 
if so shall feel pleasure in sending a pair 
or so, free of expense, to those Cole- 
opterisls with whom the species may be a 
desideratum. As I am not a regular col- 
lector, and am not forming a collection 
of insects, I must request that applicants 
will not trouble themselves, as many did 
last year, to send boxes with insects or 
return postage, this offer being intended, 
as was that of last year, to be a irerfectly 
gratuitous one ; the only stipulation being 
that each applicant shall write his name 
and addre.ss so legibly that he himself at 
least — if no one else can — shall be able 
to make it out, if called upon to do 
so.— S. Stone, Brighlhampton, Witney; 
April 15, 1861. 
Podops inunclus. — I have procured 
examples of this insect from among 
herbage growing on the bank on which 
it was found last year. — I bid.

past week we have taken the following

OBSERVATIONS. 
Cossus Liyniperda. — In answer to your 
request we beg to inform you that we 
have in our possession six full fed, nine 
two-year old and thirteen one-year old 
larvae of Cossus Liyniperda, all found in 
the stump of an oak at the same time. — 
J. Saver & J. W. Boast, Neatishead, 
Norfolk; April 15, 1861. 
Cossus Liyniperda. — With respect to 
a correspondent’s enquiry as to whether 
it is usual to find Cossus larvae crowded 
together and different aged broods in the 
same tree, I beg to say that, as far as 
my experience goes, it is of no uncom- 
mon occurrence. For some seasons past 
I have visited the same trees in which I 
knew them to abound, in autumn, col- 
lecting, after some trouble, the full-fed 
larva;, leaving the others of one or two 
years’ growih to arrive at maturity, when 
I have had no difficulty in obtaining the 
imago; for, by placing them in large 
stone jars containing saw-dust or bran 
they will quickly form a very compact 
and strong cocoon, remaining in the 
larva state to the first week in May, and 
emerging therefrom about the end of 
June, thus passing not more than six or 
seven weeks in pupa. The ova are of a 
dirty grey colour, firmly glued together, 
and hardly perceptible from the bark on 
which they are laid. The same may be 
observed of the larva of Z. .Alsculi . —

Butalis Incongruella. — A case of this 
species has been sent to me for deter- 
mination by the Rev. H. Burney, who 
found it on a birch-tree in Cannock 
Chase. — H. T. Stainton ; April 22, 
1861. 
Micropleryx Larvce, — I have received
