HO THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
(i.e. pupae). During the past season I 
took E. Grammica, one specimen, and 
Mr. Baker, of Battisford, has also cap- 
tured one.” (Mr. Baker, I may observe 
here, will be well known to the readers 
of the defunct ‘Naturalist,’ being fre- 
quently referred to by Messrs. Crewe and 
Bree, in their paper “ On the Lepidoptera 
of Suffolk.”) Again, “ On the whole, I 
am quite satisfied with the first year’s take. 
I have not taken many, but have some 
rare ones; amongst butterflies Anliopa, 
taken at this place, and Dispar ! on ,” 
&c. Astonished at this dazzling list of 
captures in one year, and that the first of 
collecting, I wrote to my correspondent, 
asking for further information : was he 
quite sure that the insect was Gram- 
viicai 1 where, when aud how was it 
taken ? &c. From his reply I make the 
following extracts: — “In reply to your 
enquiries about Eulepia Grammica, I 
have not the slightest doubt about the 
insect I have being the one, and on 
Saturday I drove over to Mr. Baker’s, at 
Battisford, and compared with his. They 
are identical. Mr. Baker look his Eulepia 
Grammica, close to H , in Essex. 
My own specimen I captured at the 
same time and place that I took my 
Callimorpha Heras, viz., the last week in 
July, whilst on a visit in North Wales, 
between W and R . My 
capture of C. Hera is mentioned by ,” 
See. Still somewhat sceptical, not of the 
veracity, but of the knowledge of my 
correspondent, I availed myself of an 
offer, kindly made by him, to forward the 
insects for my inspection, if I wished. 
In due lime they arrived, and there, un- 
questionably, were C. Dispar and E. 
Grammica ; the former a poor specimen, 
the latter a very fine one, but badly set. 
I suppose that the capture, in one year, 
of Dispar, Anliopa, Grammica and Ilera, 
by one collector, is without a parallel in 
entomological annals. I have at present 
only given the initials of the localities. 
It is with the full permission of my cor- 
respondent that I publish this. The 
Dispar was taken in Essex. — Rev. J.

Gelechia intaminalella, a new Species. 
— Mr. Eales, of Darlington, lately sent 
me, for examination, a Gelechia which 
he was unable to determine. The insect 
in question appears to be altogether 
new ; it has relations with Desertella 
and Seneclella, but is essentially dis- 
tinguished by the total absence of spot 
or marking. Mr. Eales met with it on 
the bank of the railway, about two miles 
from Darlington. I would propose for 
it the name of Intaminatella. — H. T.

OBSERVATIONS. 
Lepidoptera. 
Larva of Chcerocampa Nerii . — It may 
perhaps interest the readers of the ‘ In- 
telligencer’ who visit Eastbourne in the 
summer season to know that I had two 
caterpillars of the Oleander Hawk-moth 
( C . Nerii ) in my larva-box last year, 
which I found in the suburbs. They 
fed very well until the very sudden 
change of weather in the early part of 
November, at which time they became 
sluggish, and ultimately died, owing, I 
think, to the want of a proper place to 
keep them in. One was brought to me 
on the 12th and the other on the 18th of 
October. At first I was inclined to think 
they were Acheronlia Atropos, the larva 
of which, you say, is sometimes, though 
rarely, found of a brownish olive ; but, on 
closer inspection, I found the difference, 
by the anal horn and by the larva being of 
a lighter green, with two large ocellated 
spots. They were found in a field of 
potatoes, in which periwiukle grows, upon 
which they fed very eagerly just before 
they died, and also upon the oleander at 
times ; but when found they were feeding
