TO COEEESPONDENTS. 
J. E. R. — Your fly, Musca larvarum, 
is very common. We fear you have not 
read much : try Kirby and Spence. 
B. B. and G. — A list of names only is 
of no use. Indications of when, where 
and how captured make a list readable, 
but without such indications the list is 
not worth printing. 
H. J., SiDCue. — Such a variety as you 
describe is not common. 
J. N., WiGTON. — Your larva is that 
of a sawfly, Trichiosoma lucorum. You 
will find a full account of it (Int. vol. ii. 
p. 134) in the speech delivered by T. lu- 
corum, at the “ Important Meeting of 
Sawflies.” 
Q. — The advertisement will be 4s. 
CAPTUEES. 
LePIDOI’TERA. 
Doinys in the New Forest. — Since ray 
last but little has turned up ; nothing at 
sugar as yet. About three weeks since 
I found a pupa spun up beneath the 
loose bark of an old oak, which, from 
the situation, the beautiful bloom which 
covered it, and the size, I made sure 
was either Catocala Promissa or Sponsa ; 
but, on looking at it a few days since, 
judge of my disgust on finding emerged, 
instead of the promised one or the spouse 
I had so fully expected, that wretched 
Moorish old nigger Mania Maura ! The 
‘Manual’ says of Mania, “pupa sub- 
terranean,” which, I should think, is 
either a mistake (certainly is in this 
case) or that the “ old lady,” in her 
younger days, is not very particular as 
to the situation in which she lays up. 
P. .^gon has been out in the greatest 
abundance, and a few are still left flitting 
over heatby places. Argynnis Adippe 
and Paphia are also out in plenty ; of 
the last-named species I have had the 
pleasure of catching a few splendid speci- 
mens of the dark variety so confined to 
the New Forest. A. Aglaia and L. Si- 
bylla are neither of them common this 
year. — W. Faeren, Brockenhurst, New 
Forest, Hants; July 14. 
Captures of Lepidoptera. — Between 
the 24th of June and 6th inst. we made 
the following captures in Kent : — 
Aporia Crataegi. One only, whereas 
in 1858 they were flying by hundreds. 
Hipparchia Janira. A very curious 
specimeu, with the hind wings lead- 
colour. 
H. Hyperanthus. Common, but not 
nearly so abundant as in 1858. 
Argynnis Paphia. One very fine spe- 
cimen. 
A. Selene. Much rarer than last year. 
Melitaea Athalia. In 1858 this spe- 
cies was exceedingly abundant; this 
season we have only taken five speci- 
mens.
