NOTES ON ETJPITHEICiE. 
Whilst sweeping for larvae of E. 
satyrata [and subumbrata, the other 
day, I was rather surprised to find a 
full fed larva of E. pumilata in the 
net. It was swept from flowers of 
Wild Marjoram, ( Origanum vulgare ) 
I have never met with this insect 
before, in Buckinghamshire. 
A few weeks ago, whilst getting a 
sprig of Golden Bod in my garden I 
was much astonished to see upon it a 
larva of E. virgaureata. It has fed 
up and turned to pupa. This insect, 
though common enough in Kent and 
Devonshire, is quite new to this 
locality. I could find no more larvae 
upon the plant. The wild Golden 
Bod does not grow in this neighbour- 
hood, and the plant in question was 
one of the garden species . In 
Devonshire this larva feeds equally 
freely upon the flowers of Senecio 
Jacoboea, but I have never seen it 
upon that plant, in this neighbour- 
hood. 
I have taken the larva of E. Cor- 
onata, within the last month, upon 
the flowers of Clematis vitalba, Eup- 
atorium cannabinum, Achillcea mille- 
folium and Artemisia vulgaris. The 
three last named flowers are all new 
to me as pabulum for this species. 
I am now taking the larva of E. 
pimpinellata upon seeds of Pimpinella 
saxifraga, and those of E. tripunctata 
and trisignata upon flowers and seeds 
of Angelica sylvestris. 
I met with a singular variety of 
the larva of E. centaur eata, last July, 
in Gloucestershire; it was feeding 
upon the seeds of the large Water 
Hemlock. Its ground color was 
mealy green. Central dorsal line 
very indistinct, — darker green, —
