110 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCE!!. 
examined ouce or twice since, but very 
cautiously, as a boy goes up to a nest 
from which he has already abstracted one 
batch of eggs ; but I fear the old birds 
are not to be so taken in, for I have seen 
no frass or woollen cases since. — Rev. E. 
Horton, Wick, Worcester ; June 21. 
Depressaria CuLcitella. — I have found 
the larva of this species, which seemed to 
interest you so much when here; it feeds 
in the united terminal leaves of Stachys 
recta and of another plant, the name of 
which is not yet perfectly ascertained. 
I found these larvae on the 15th and 17th 
of May; they changed to pupae in a 
cocoon at the end of May, and the per- 
fect insects appeared the 11th and 13th 
of June. It only occurs singly, but I 
hope to be able to send it you next 
spring: the precise localities are the 
Winzerer Berg and the hill above the 
Tegernheimer Keller, just where you col- 
lected along with Dr. Herrich-Schaffer 
and my son Ernst. — Friedbich Hof- 
mann, Ratisbon ; June 21. 
Gelechia piclella. — The larvae found by 
Mr. Scott (Intel. No. 140, p. 77) have 
produced this species. It seems very 
sluggish in the perfect state, and when 
disturbed gives a spring, aud then lies on 
its back on the sand, as if dead. — H. T. 
Stainton ; June 28. 
EXCHANGE. 
Exchange. — I should be glad to ex- 
change pup® of M. Salellitia, C. Vi- 
minalis, X. Cilrago, three of O. Lata 
and two of O. Munda, for any of the fol- 
lowing in the larva, pupa or imago state, 
but I should prefer the two former: —

— W. Culverwell, The Gardens, Thorp 
Perron, Bedale, Yorkshire ; June 22. 
Antlirocera Trifolii. — Mr. R. J. Bower- 
man begs to say that he has a few speci- 
mens of this insect, caught by him at 
Axuiinster, Devon. These he is most 
ready to exchauge for any of the Clear- 
wings, Spheciee or Trochilia, for the 
Wood Leopard ( Zeuzera ), the Small 
Elephant ( Chterocampa Porcellus ), any 
of the Prominents ( Notodonla , &c.), 
or for Polyommatus Alsus or Thecla Be- 
tulce or Pruni. His address is Mr. 11. J. 
Boweilman, Uffculme, near Collumpton , 
Devon. 
Diaphora Mendica. — Having taken 
four females of this species, which have 
laid eggs, I have larvae to spare, which I 
shall be glad to send to any gentleman 
who may be in want of them. — D. Robin- 
son, New Road, Rastrick, near Hudders- 
field ; June 25. 
A Mistake ; no Lalhonias in Duplicate. 
— I am very sorry that, by some inac- 
curacy, either by myself or the printer, 
No. 35 is inserted instead of No. 37 in 
my list of “ Surplus Specimens,” in last 
week’s ‘Intelligencer;’ as I have been 
perfectly inundated by boxes and letters 
soliciting that species, it w ill cause much 
disappointment to many of my corre- 
spondents. I also find No. 69 mentioned, 
which, to the best of my remembrance, I 
do not think I sent at all. 1 hope you 
will insert this correction, as answering 
applicants individually would be a per- 
fectly Herculean task, for their name is 
Legion. I should have thought that 
parties would have seen that it was a 
mistake, as I stated that the species 1 
had to offer were but common, which 
they must have known Lulhonia not to 
be ; if the fault lies with me for writing 
No. 35 I beg to apologise to those 
who have sent for that insect, for, instead
