188 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
several larv® and eggs on aspen in 
Kent. 
Pterostoma Palpina. Took several 
larvae and eggs with N. Ziczac. 
Closlera Reclusa. Ditto. 
Psilura Monacha. Bred eleven. 
*Hypogymna Dispar. Bred seven. 
*Dasychira Pudibunda. Bred five. 
*Stilpnotia Salicis. Took seven at Ham- 
mersmith. 
Portbesia Chrysorrhma. Bred eight. 
Lithosia Aureola. Took one at West 
Wickham in May. 
L. Complana. Bred four from larvae 
found feeding on lichens on decayed 
ash. They did not answer to the de- 
scription given in the ‘Manual,’ but pre- 
cisely resembled those of Complanula, 
except that the broad orange-coloured 
lateral stripe was interrupted by the 
ground-colour giving it the appearance 
of a row of large orange spots. I also 
took one female, which deposited about 
150 eggs, the larvae from which hyber- 
nated very small. 
L. Complanula. Bred three. Took 
two in Kent. 
L. Griseola. Took three in Kent in 
July. 
Cybosia Mesomelia. Took five in 
Kent, and four at Black Park in 
July. 
*Nudaria Senex. Took about forty at 
Hammersmith in July and August. This 
insect is very uncertain in its flight; I 
have noticed that for one or two evenings 
in the season it flies freely for a few 
minutes at dusk, and on other following 
evenings, without change of weather, 
scarcely a specimen is to be seen at that 
hour; but about midnight it again makes 
its appearance, and may generally be 
taken flying near the ground in wet 
places. 
Eutliemonia Russula. Took sixteen 
males and one female in Kent in July. 
The latter laid about thirty eggs, which 
hatched in about fourteen days; one 
half the larvae fed up quickly, changed 
to pupae, and came out the end of 
August; the other half hybernated. 
Nemeophila Plantagiuis. Took two 
at West Wickham in May, flying with 
Argynnis Euphrasy ne. 
Phragmatobia Fuliginosa. Bred two 
from pupae found at Hammersmith. 
*Callimorpha Jacoba;ae. Bred about 
forty. The perfect insect literally swarmed 
in Kent in June and July, and in the 
latter month the ragwort was seen in 
some localities wholly denuded of leaves ; 
their places occupied by thousands of 
the larvae in all stages. 
*Lasiocampa Quercus. Bred five. The 
larva of this insect is by no means so 
particular in its food as Mr. Newman 
stated to me, to distinguish it from 
L. Callurue ; it will eat almost anything 
green, and thrives on nothing better 
than dogwood ( Cornus sanguined). 
Eriogaster Lanestris. Bred four. 
Saturnia Pavonia-minor. Ditto. 
Cilix Spinula. Took three on Dart- 
ford Heath in April. 
Drepana Falcataria. Took three at 
West Wickham in May. 
Fumea Radiella. Took one male in 
Kent. 
F. Nitidella. Bred four males and 
several females. 
Limacodes Testudo. Took one male 
in Kent on the 10th July. — Du. Allcuin,

(To be continued.) 
Herminia Derivalis . — I beat a speci- 
men of this rare Pyralis out of a beech 
tree, near the King’s Oak, in Epping 
Forest, on the 12th of last June. — Chas. 
Hkaly, 74, Napier Street, Hoxlon, N. ;

COLEOPTERA. 
Doings of a Coleoplerist . — Though the 
weather for the last month has been so 
unfavourable for out-door Entomology, I 
have succeeded in taking a few Cole- 
optera, which I will mention, as perhaps, 
when other Colcopterists see what I have
