THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Nonagria Despecta, 
Dianthecia Conspersa, 
„ Capsiucola, 
Heliothis Dipsacea, 
Pionea Margaritalis, 
Acidalia Perocliraria. 
Sugar is not good for much, except it be 
for X. Polyodon and A. Segetum ; they 
come in swarms some nights, and drive 
oif everything else. 
Seiaphila Perterana, 
Xanthosetia Inopiana, 
Cochylis Smeathmanniana. 
Melissoblaptes Bipunctanus. The 
larva of this species feeds in the 
stems or roots of sea-grass ( Am - 
mophila arundinucea P) 
I have taken one of Anerastia Farrella: 
some persons think this and Lotella one 
and the same ; I must inform them that 
they never made a greater mistake. I am 
breeding Pterophorus Lienigianus from 
the Artemisia. Those who expect to take 
the larvae of Agestis on the Helianthe- 
mum had better look out, as the larvae 
are half-fed on the sea crane’s-bill. — 
H. J. Harding, “ Noah’s Ark," Peter 
Street , Deal; July 3. 
Captures near Cheltenham . — I write to 
inform you that I captured the following 
last month : — 
A. Euphrosyne (11), 
N. Lucina (1), 
P. Arion (IOj, 
„ Agestis (7), 
C. Porcellus (7), 
E. Glyphica (1), 
M. Margaritata (4), 
A. Ornata (1), 
N. Plantaginis (4), 
O. Chaerophyllata (2). 
I captured also one specimen of a variety 
of T. Alveolus. C. Porcellus is not near 
so common this year as last ; last year it 
was far more abundant than P. Gamma; 
it was the commonest moth at flowers. 
A. Cratagi , P. Slaticcs and Glolmlaruc 
have been captured about Cheltenham. 
I have seen V. Atulanta on the wing two 
or three times.— R. E. Thye, Leckhamp- 
ton Court ; July 4.

the past week I have taken the following

yesterday a fine specimen of the above 
species in a small fir plantation. — R. 
Tyre it, jun., Hill House, Eye ; July 7. 
CoLEOPTERA. 
Bembidium pallipes. — A few days ago 
Mrs. Gregson accompanied me on the 
Southport Sand Hills -hunt- 
ing ; for several hours I worked away, 
now here, now there, but always in likely 
places for Bembidium pallipes, without 
success. Tea time came, and only three 
specimens taken ; after tea Mr. Davis 
joined in the hunt, and we decided to try 
new ground. In a hollow behind the 
church we found Dyschirius traces freely, 
so down on our marrow-bones and to 
work we. went, and scarcely were w'e down 
when Mr. Davis cried out, “ Bottle, 
bottle! Bern, pallipes !" he had found a 
female, and there were several males 
within a few inches of her. Before train 
time we had taken about thirty fine spe- 
cimens. Since then Mr. Davis has sent 
me another supply, so my friends may 
expect it. — C. S. Gregson, Fletcher 
Grow, Stanley, near Liverpool ; June 29. 
Bembidium paludosum. — Being in 
Kendal one day in Whitsun week 1 found 
everybody had left business for pleasure, 
so I thought I would follow suit, and 
into the bed of the river I went beetle-
