CAPTURES. 
Leptdopteea. 
Zeuzera ^sculi. — Perhaps it may be 
interesting to some of your readers to 
know that I had a female specimen of 
this insect, in good condition, brought to 
me by a friend, who said it was on a heap 
of horse-dung, under a clump of trees. 
— Henry Bied, near Woodside Green, 
Great Hallingbury, Essex; July 22. 
Argyresthia Literella. — The other 
evening I visited the alders on the banks 
of the Eavensbourne, in search of Stalh- 
mopoda pedella ; I was not successful in 
finding any ; I suppose I was too late, 
but still I might have expected to have 
met with some wasted specimens. Argy- 
resthia Gvedartella was dislodged by hun- 
dreds every time I touched a branch : 
turning over a netful of that insect, one 
specimen put me in mind of Literella, so 
I boxed it and brought it home. Having 
now set it out I am able to announce 
that it IS Argyresthia Literella, an insect 
I did not previously possess. — H. T. 
Stainton ; July 26. 
Captures in Westmoreland. — On the 
14th inst. I started, with my friend Mr. 
Henry Eobinson, to visit Whitbarrow 
Scar, to look for Ashworthii ; we returned 
disappointed in our object, but had the 
pleasure of meeting with several species 
we had never before taken, some common, 
but nevertheless interesting, on account 
of its being the first time we had seen 
the species alive. On that and the fol- 
lowing day we captured the following 
species : — 
Polyommatus .Egon. In profusion ; 
never met with this common species 
before. 
Coenonympha Davus. 
Nudaria Mundana. Plentiful. 
Gnophos Obscuraia. Dififerent colour 
to Parley Heath or Lewes specimens ; a 
female has laid a batch of eggs. 
Hemithea Thymiaria.

Acidalia Promutata. Several. 
... Immutata. Do. 
... Inornata.

there.
