TO CORRESPONDENTS.

information he requires in the second 
edition of the ‘Entomologist’s Annual’ 
for 1855, published by Van Voorst, Pa- 
ternoster Row, price 2s. (id. 
E. J. — There is no complete list of the 
British Coleoptera, and none with Eng- 
lish names. Beetle larvae have no pro- 
legs, only the six anterior legs. The Oak 
Eggar larva will eat almost anything. 
F. C. — Due notice will be given of the 
next Excursion ; the last took place on 
the 7th of May. Hampstead, Wanstead, 
Charlton, West Wickham, Sanderstead, 
Wimbledon Common and Hammersmith 
Marshes, are all good localities for certain 
insects. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera. 
Polyommatus Artaxerxes.' — As it may 
be interesting to the readers of the * In- 
telligencer,’ I beg to inform you that I 
captured fourteen specimens of this pretty 
little butterfly on Monday last, on the 
steep grassy side of Dumyot, above Blair 
Logie. The extreme steepness of the 
hill-side and the slipperiness of the grass 
(caused by the long-continued dry wea- 
ther) made it no easy matter to pursue 
them, and I saw many more specimens 
than I captured. I also captured, in 
the same locality, a fine specimen of 
Chwrocampa Porcellus, apparently newly 
emerged from the chrysalis. Higher up 
on Dumyot, on the heath, I captured 
three specimens of Melitaa Artemis.

Sphinx Convolvuli. — I have great 
pleasure in informing the readers of the 
‘ Intelligencer’ that my friend Mr. Hud- 
son has at present in his possession a fine 
male specimen of Sphinx Convolvuli, 
which was taken at Kirkstall on the 8th 
of this month, at rest in a garden. —

Procris Slatices.— Knowing that this 
species is local, and having found a 
locality for it, — viz. Acton fields, — I 
thought I might inform you of it, for 
the good of your readers. — C. A. Bird ;
