THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
periodicals devoted to scientific records 
is something fearful, and we fear that 
it is an increasing evil. But we must 
recur to the subject again next week.

ligencer may be obtained

TO CORBESPONDENTS. 
F. H., Regensburg. — VII. gut 
erhalten. Die Umbellifer-Raupen sind 
Chauliodus Clmrophyllellus. Die Ornix- 
Raupen auf Sorhus aucuparia sollten 
Scoticella seyn. 
A. S., Frankfort-s.-M. — Die Raupen 
auf Thymus sind mir unbekannt, und 
daher angenehm, ob sie wirklich zu 
Tineinen gehoren scheint mir etwas 
zweifelhalft. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidortera. 
Acherontia Atropos. — The other day a 
friend gave me eight larvae of this in- 
sect, which he found in a potato field, 
and one amongst them was one of the 
singular dark variety with whitish ante- 
rior segments. — R. H. Fremlin, Water- 
inghury ; August 9. 
Acronycta Alni. — I had the good for- 
tune to meet with the larva of this highly- 
prized insect, on the 4th instant, on some 
palings underneath a lime tree, from 
which it had evidently been blown, the 
wind at the time being rather brisk. Tbe 
larva is, I think, full grown, refusing to 
eat, although supplied with lime, birch 
and willow ; it is very lively, and answers 
the description given in the ‘ Manual,’ 
with the exception of the second segment 
having six clubbed hairs, instead of two, 
as on each of the other segments. — 
W. H. Bibbs, St. George's Cottage, 
Ty thing, Worcester; August 6. 
Xylomyges Conspicillaris. — It may per- 
haps be interesting to some of your 
numerous readers to hear that I bred 
two very fine specimens of this rarity this 
present season ; one upon the 27th of 
March, and the other upon the 10th 
of April. — Abraham Edwards, The 
Ty thing, Worcester ; August 4. 
COLEOPTERA. 
Coleoptera in North Wales. — Thinking 
that my notes on the results of a few 
days’ beetle-hunting in North Wales 
may not be without interest to some 
among the brothers of the “ net and 
digger,” I forw'ard this slight abstract of 
ten days’ work between Barmouth and 
Snowdon ; not because it contains any 
new facts, but because the faithful record 
of what has been done and felt in the 
pursuit of knowledge is not without its 
value as a guide to enquirers in the same 
field, and as an incentive to others to 
bend their steps in the same direction.
