THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
the Nottingham Catchfly (Silene nutans ) ; 
besides its capsules furnishing food to a 
Dianthmcia — as they give abundant 
evidence of doing — the catchfly would 
seem to supply sustenance to a little 
weevil {Hijpera which attaches 
its pretty little cocoon to the axils of 
the stems. The cocoon is pea-green, 
and so transparent that the whirligig 
movements of the pupa, on its case being 
handled, are distinctly visible. I am in- 
debted to Mr. Westwood for the name 
of the weevil. It is brown, with three 
pale lines on the thorax, and paler raised 
lines on the elytra. Mr. Westwood re- 
marks that “ the chief interest in the 
species of the group to which the Hypera 
belongs arises from the difference in the 
texture of their cocoons.” — Peter Inch- 
bald, Storthes Hall; Sept. 9.
