lea). As this is a local grass, tlie new 
larva may produce a new species. — 
Ini d. 
Spilonola neylectana (Lei\). — I have 
some duplicates of Spilonota neglectana, 
and can always, in the season, take the 
insect in plenty. Do any of the readers 
of the ‘Intelligencer’ want the species ? 
as 1 shall be happy to supply them with 
what I have, and can take more if requi- 
site : I have also a few Agrotis putris . —

Street , Camberwell; May 19, 1856. 
Nolodonta Carrnelita. — I took a fine 
rich dark female of this beautiful moth 
in the Addington Woods, on the 10th 
inst., and another fine one on the 15th, 
both at rest on trunks of birch trees : the 
latter has laid me about three dozen 
eggs. — Samuel Stevens, 24, Blooms- 
bury Street, London ; May 19, 1856. 
Notodonta dictceoides. — I took a 
tine, and I think the largest, female of 
this species I ever saw, on the 10th inst., 
whilst searching for Carrnelita on the 
trunk of a birch tree : she has laid me 
about five dozen eggs. — I bid. 
Cero])acha jluctuosa (Lee.) bred . — 
Having taken some pup® from the roots 
of birch in my locality, I was much sur- 
prised to-day to breed from them a 
lovely specimen of C. Jluctuosa : I have 
often found this in the imago, but never 
could 1 find either larva or pupa previous 
to this. It may be worth the notice of 
some of your readers ; if so, 1 shall be 
glad. — William Hydes, Bagshaw's 
Buildings, Park Spring, Sheffield ; May 
19 , 1856 . 
New Coleophora (Lee.). — I have this 
day bred a Coleophora from the pistol- 
shaped case I look at the Brushes, April 
16th, on Vaccinium Vitis-ulcea ; it is a 
silvery lead colour, expands about five to 
six lines, fringe very long, antennae very 
distinctly ringed. My friend T. Hague 
has sent me one, and tells me he has 
bred two others lroin the leaves he was 
induced to get by reading my note of 
captures at the Brushes: from Mr. 
Hague’s note being dated before I bred 
it, he is entitled to the honour of having 
first bred this addition to our list.* — C. 
S. Gbegson, Edge Lane, Old Swan, 
Lanca hire ; May 14, 1856. 
Eupithecia succenturiaria and subful- 
varia . — Will any gentleman please com- 
pare the three under-mentioned forms of 
Eupithecia, and inform us where the 
shape or markings differ? 
Eup. Succenturiaria, 
Eup. Subfulvaria, 
Eup. Cognaria. 
The colour is not to be considered in the 
examination. — Ibid. 
Eggs of Eupithecia icanted . — I shall 
be particularly obliged to any one who 
will send me eggs, larva, or imago, of the 
genus Eupithecia ; any person obtaining 
females, even if not fit to set, may make 
them useful by keeping them until they 
lay their eggs; they will find this genus 
easy to breed : I shall be happy to give 
information as to the food and habits of 
this genus, and shall be equally happy 
to receive information respecting them. — 
Ibid. 
Hermaphrodite Gonepteryx Rhamni . — 
I took last week a very distinct gynau- 
dromorphous specimen of G. Rhamni : 
besides the sexual difference in colour, 
the male wings are much smaller than 
the female ones. — J ames Balding, Wis- 
bech ; May 19, 1856. 
Cuculiia Chamomillce . — Since the 10th 
of the month I have been on the look- 
out for this species, and have been re- 
warded with some fine specimens: I find 
the insect more common here than in 
Lancashire, where I first met with it: I 
have taken it at the flowers of the black- 
thorn at dusk, but the greater number 
have been taken on rails during the day ; 
rails of two or three year’s standing, in 
the vicinity of fruit-trees, are the best 
localities. From larv® taken last year I 
* I propose calling it V. Vitisclla.
