THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

THE LIST OF ENTOMOLOGISTS. 
We have to thank several gentlemen 
for their communications on this sub- 
ject: one gentleman especially has cor- 
rected the list of entomologists residing 
in his town, informing us who have left, 
and also giving us the names of the new 
entomologists who have arrived or sprung 
up there since last year. If an entom- 
ologist in each of the towns mentioned 
at pp. 39 — 54, would kindly imitate this 
example it would much facilitate our 
labours. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteka. 
Colias Edusa in Wales. — I do not 
know whether C. Edusa is usually found 
in Wales; if not, it may be worth while 
to mention that I saw several in this 
neighbourhood yesterday. I met with 
C. Hyale last week in Gloucestershire. — 
Rev. W. H. Hawker, Deny Ormond, 
Lampeter, Cardiganshire ; Sept. 20. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — I beg to record 
the capture, in this town, of three speci- 
mens of this insect ; one by a little girl, 
about three weeks since ; and two at 
Petunia blossoms by myself, within the 
last week, — these two are as fine as bred 
specimens. I saw several others, which 
I hope to capture, if the weather con- 
tinues fine. — George Davis, Southport, 
Lancashire; Sept. 15. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — Yesterday my son 
was examining the poplars in my garden 
for larva; of Smerinthus Populi, when he 
was surprised and delighted to find S. 
Convolvuli at rest on a branch : it is a 
male, with the margins of the wings 
rather broken. — F. Kenderdine, Man- 
chester ; Sept. 18. 
Sphinx Convolvuli . — A specimen was 
captured yesterday afternoon by a gar- 
dener, and sent to me, but it is unfor- 
tunately damaged. — W. Higginson, 
2, Glo’ster Place, Sivansea ; Sept. 18. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — Two examples of 
this species have fallen to my lot this 
season ; two others were observed Hying 
about at noon, but were not captured. — 
W. P. Hadfield, Netvark ; Sept. 19. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — Specimens of this 
insect have occurred here, one of which 
is in my possession. I took yesterday 
a larva of Leiocampa Dictcea and one 
of Oryyia Gonostigmu. Colias Edusa 
has been common here this season. — 
T. Blackmore, The Hollies , Wandsworth, 
S. W. ; Sept. 1 9. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — I captured a spe- 
cimen of this insect on the 12th inst., in 
fine condition, hovering over a bed of 
Petunias. There were two others taken 
in a garden in this neighbourhood. — 
A. Anderson, Oxenford Castle, Dalkeith ; 
Sept. 14. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — A specimen of 
this insect, taken in Cromarty, was ex- 
hibited in the Committee Room of Sec- 
tion D, at Aberdeen, this week. — H. T. 
Stainton ; Sept. 22. 
Sphinx Convolvuli, Deilephila Galii 
and Colias Edusa. — My nephew, Mr. \V. 
Boyd, of Cheshunt, Herts, caught in his 
garden, within the first fortnight of this 
month, ten specimens of N. Convolvuli, 
and he did get D. Galii into his net, but, 
in his eagerness to secure it safely, it 
escaped. Though I have lived amongst 
the woods and hills of one of our southern 
counties for twenty-five years, in all that 
time I only saw four specimens of Colias 
Edusa; now in my garden, within four 
miles of the city, many specimens of the 
same have been seen ; one, a female, I 
had the pleasure of setting out on Friday 
last, and one settled on a fallen flower 
atmy feet only yesterday. — A. Gavil- 
ler, 5, Manor Road, Stamford Hill; 
Sept. 19.
