THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
5 
Captures near Hull. — Having caught 
several specimens of Colias Eilusa last 
year in our locality, which I considered 
a rare occurrence, and not likely to hap- 
pen again, — not having seen any near us 
for the last twenty years, and during that 
period I was constantly on the look out 
for any new insect that might occur, — I 
canuot resist informing you that I and 
my son have this month caught both 
male and female (in spleudid condition, 
having just escaped from the chrysalis), 
on the Humber bank between Hull and 
Hessle ; some of my brother entomologists 
have done the same. I am now of opinion 
that they are localized with us. A similar 
feature has occurred with Sphinx Ligustri 
this year: several caterpillars have been 
collected in our immediate neighbour- 
hood ; last year I found two in a garden 
near our Institute; for years before we 
obtained our S. Ligustri in Lincolnshire. 
Several insects rare in our district have 
been taken this year, viz . — 
Sphinx Convolvuli. Several. The first 
taken in Hull, that I know of, was on 
August 28, 1841, which I have. 
ChcerocampaPorcellus. Taken in Hol- 
derness, near Hull. 
Deilephila Galii. Taken by Mr.Stather. 
Acherontia Alropos. Many larvas. 
Several specimens of Gryllus migratorius 
have been captured in various places 
near here ; my son has one of them. —

Neuropteea. 
Phryyanulce, fyc., near Taunton. — The 
following is a list of the Phrygauidas and 
Hemerobidte that have fallen to my lot 
this season, since May last, in this neigh- 
bourhood. I hope the ‘ Annual ’ of this 
year will contain a continuation of the 
valuable Monograph on this order by 
Dr. Hagen. 
Phryganea graudis. Scarce. 
Liranophilus pellucidus. 
... marmoratus, et vajrietas. 
... vittatus. 
... sparsus. 
... auricula? 
Sericostoma Spencii (female). Dr. Ha- 
gen has described a male. The female 
has annulated autennar ; the head and 
prothorax is paler and brighter than the 
male. 
Goera (species ?). Dark brown , clothed 
with oehreous hairs ; antennae darker, 
basal joint as long as the head, clothed 
with oehreous hairs; coxa and femora, 
except the apex, nearly black, the rest of 
the legs pale testaceous. Appen. anales 
broad, ending in an oblique sharp point ; 
anterior wings brownish yellow ; posterior 
blackish, rather wider than the anterior; 
expanse 10 liu.; length 4 lin. 
Silo (species?). Appen. anales spoon- 
shaped and clothed with golden yellow 
hairs. 
These species do not appear to be de- 
scribed by Dr. Hagen, at least I am not 
able to make them out from his descrip- 
tions. I hope they may be new ! 
Notidobia ciliaris, Lin. 
Brachycentrus subnubilus, Curt. 
Agraylea multipunctala, Curt. 
Hydroptila pulchricornis, Piet. 
... Tineoides, Dalmn. I am 
inclined to think, with Dr. Hagen, that 
these are only the sexes of the same 
species ; but they are such atoms that it 
is no small trouble to make out the sex. 
Hemerobius humulus. 
... micans. 
... nervosus. 
Sisyra fuscata, Fab. 
Chrysops vittata. 
... vulgaris. 
I have, besides these, a goodly array of 
Leptoceridae waiting to be examined, &c., 
when our monographer shall favour us 
with the descriptions, which will be 
thankfully received by — Edw. Paefixt, 
Museum, Taunton ; Sept. 24.
