THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

TO COEEESPONDENTS. 
Apethorpiensis. — If the pupee are 
not dead they will come out some time 
or other. Nearly all insects are liable 
to remain at times more than one winter 
in the pupa state. Beer and rum are 
both good additions ; but the best sugar 
often fails entirely for weeks, moths 
finding “metal more attractive” else- 
where. 
CAPTUEES, 
Lepidopteba. 
Drepana Sieula . — I have the pleasure 
to announce that in conjunction with my 
friend Mr. G. Harding, last June, we 
captured, in Leigh Woods, near here, 
several fine specimens of D. Sieula. As 
this rare insect has occurred so very 
occasionally our capture of it may be 
worth recording. — Cephas Butler, 
8, Cheese Lane, St. Philip's, Bristol ; 
July 19. 
Stathmopoda pedella. — I have the 
pleasure to record the capture of two 
specimens of this insect at West End, 
Hampstead. They were taken by Mr. 
E. J . Twiss, of Kilburn Square. — Pe rcy 
C.WoRMAXD, 10, Prior'y Road, Kilburn, 
N.W.; July 18. 
Recent Captures . — During a fortnight 
spent in Surrey, Suffolk and Norfolk, we 
made a number of captures, which may 
not prove uninteresting to your readers, 
among which are the following : — 
Stauropus Eagi. One, in a lane near 
Reigate, taken sitting quietly at rest on 
the upper side of a nut-leaf, by night. 
The specimen was a fine male. 
Thyatira Batis and Derasa. Both these 
species occurred on the under sides of 
hawthorn leaves at night, in a short lane 
near “The Freehold,” at Reigate. 
Xylophasia Rurea. The efforts which 
we made in sugaring were rewarded, to 
our great disgust, by a solitary specimen 
of Rurea; this was at Reigate. At 
Norwich our success was rather better. 
X. Hepatiea. Very common in lanes 
near Reigate. 
Dipterygia Pinastri. One, at sugar, 
at Norwich, in a heavy shower. ' 
Hecatera Serena. One, on the palings 
of Mr. Saunders’ garden at Reigate, 
apparently fresh from the pupa.

near Reigate, at night.

mon near Reigate. One turned up at
