CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteba. 
Colias Edusa. — As this insect has 
been rather scarce this year, it might be 
interesting to some of your readers to 
know that I took two specimens, male 
and female, near Southend, and saw 
three more on the 11th and 12th inst. — 
Howard Vaughan, 14, Gaisford Street, 
Kentish Town, N. W. 
Sphinx Convolvuli . — A fine male of 
this Hawk moth was brought me on 
Thursday last. It was discovered at 
rest on a keel moored a little way up 
the Tyne. — V. R. Perkins. 
Sphinx Convolvuli . — I have just had 
the pleasure of capturing a specimen of 
this insect at rest on a wall.— B. Gibson, 
Almshouse Lane, Wakefield ; Sept. 22. 
Xanthia Gilvago . — I had the pleasure, 
a few days ago, of taking a splendid 
specimen of this insect, from a gas-lamp 
in this neighbourhood. — J. Caerington, 
Clifton, York ; Sept. 23. 
Captures near Torquay . — During the 
past three weeks I have succeeded in 
capturing a great number of H. Hispida, 
at Torquay, and also a few S. Anomala ; 
and during the past week, at ivy, I have 
taken A. Atistralis in profusion, as well 
as A. Lucernea, A. Saucia and E. Li- 
chenea. The ivy is fast coming out, and 
is in fine condition, and I think, if well 
worked, ought to produce several rarities.
