THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
other is clever enough to talk of them 
by the Latin names; ami, mind you, 
if he don’t learn to call them by the 
Latin names, he will find great difficulty 
in making himself understood, as the 
great majority of our entomologists don’t 
know them by any other. Those who 
were to learn the English names of every 
moth would find that they would after- 
wards have to learn the Latin names, 
and they would thus give themselves a 
deal of unnecessary trouble. 
In the ‘ Manual of British Butterflies 
and Moths’ the English names are given 
for all those species which have gene- 
rally received English names, such as 
the Brimstone Butterfly and the Pea- 
cock, but for those that have only made- 
up names, and of which you never 
meet with any one that uses them, no 
English names are given. 
The moon is not fetched out of the 
pail of water; does the little boy still 
cry for it?

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. 0. W., Chester, enquires whether 
any Nonayria larva feeds inside the stem 
of the common Sparyanium ? Can any 
of our readers assist to answer this ques- 
tion ? Nonayria Sparyanii (Lep.), is not 
known as a British species. 
F. M., Birmingham. — Your beetle is 
Cicindela campestris : it is very common. 
Hera (Lep.), is a ‘ thing hoped for; ’ it is 
not yet an acknowledged British species ; 
it is quite distinct from the common 
Dominula. A variety of Convolvuli (Lep.) 
occurs sometimes as that you mention. 
W. C., Holme. — We fear we cannot 
advise you as to the prices of insects. 
Our own rule is never to buy, so that we 
have no experience to guide us in the 
matter. 
A Female. — Until a female will make 
herself known her communication must 
remain unnoticed. Among our many 
valuable correspondents may be reckoned 
several eminent lady entomologists (who 
have furnished us with several useful
