and whether two or more species are 
included under one name, as at 
present supposed, — with or without 
the other quasi species callunce, the 
antennse of which almost seem to me 
intermediate between the two. 
I should have mentioned above 
that the specimen has the occasional 
oblong yellow spots near the body, 
towards the upper region of the fore 
wings, very clear and distinct. — Rev.

Cidaria Immanata. — See page 20, 
‘ Weekly Entomologist.’ Having bred 
this species repeatedly from the egg, 
and having plenty of eggs now in my 
possession, I may say that, with me, 
they hatch very soon after being laid, 
when kept in a warm room, and live 
through the winter. Last year I fed 
them on sallow, in a jar, in which I 
was feeding Noctua Dahlii, in October, 
I tumbled all together into a general 
breeding box outside, to take their 
chance, as I had bred my set,— 30, 
and plenty for those friends who 
wanted it. I did not set those that 
appeared in August last, merely res- 
erving any I saw “in cop," to get 
eggs for friends who wished to breed 
the species. I think it quite probable 
that in cold seasons or places, it will, 
like other insects I have bred, remain 
in the egg until the warmth calls its 
latent life into existence. 
Mr. Hellins is right as to its being 
polyphagous. My specimens varied, 
last year, from the beautiful variety 
Harmorata of Haworth, to perfectly 
black. When black they retain the 
striga faintly delineated on the under 
wing, which, in the type, so easily 
dist inguishes this species from Russata 
of the Vienna Catalogue, and from 
Perfuscata of Haworth, which is a 
vaiiety of Russ aria. W. V. C. S.

Pamphila Sylvanus. — I have reared 
this insect from a larva found feeding 
on Luzula pilosa, nearly full grown 
on May 1 st. of this year. It contin- 
ued to feed for four or five days, and 
then spun a silken lining in a cylinder 
previously formed by uniting the 
edges of a leaf of Luzula, in which it 
changed to a pupa, — the perfect 
insect appearing on the 8th. of June. 
The larva was very slow in pro- 
gression, cylindrical above, flatfish 
beneath, body pale bluish green, an 
indistinct dorsal line of darker green, 
and a paler line above the feet, which 
are small. Head large and singularly 
prominent, — of a crimson brown color 
— the thoracic segments taper towards 
the head, giving it a strangulated 
appearance. — W. Buckler Emsicorth,
