THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
and I fear many of the numerous appli- 
cants, in consequence of the notice in the 
‘ Annual,’ will have to go without their 
specimens this year at least. — C. R. 
Bree, Stricklands, Stowmarket ; May

Culeophora of the Genista at Wanstead. 
— Prompted by the hint in the ‘Intelli- 
gencer’ of Saturday, I paid yesterday a 
visit to Wanstead, and after a search ex- 
tending over the greater part of the 
morning, succeeding in taking in the 
space of a few yards several larvae of the 
Coleophora on the Genista anylica, but 
though I searched many other parts of 
the Common, I could only meet with a 
solitary one here and there. — C. Mil- 
ler, 17, Silurian Terrace ; May 26,

Ncpticula aryentipedella bred at last . — 
This insect has now made its appearance 
from the Scitelliform birch-mines: these 
mines were first detected in this country 
by Mr. Wing, in October 1853. Two 
years and seven months have been neces- 
sary to solve this problem. I wonder 
whether we shall breed the new Coleo- 
phora of the Genista anylica before 
another thirty-one months have elapsed. 
Ars lonya,vila brevis. — H. T. Stainton ;

Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have taken 
the following, and can procure them for 
any one : — 
Cabera pusaria, 
Cidaria montanata, 
„ propugnata, 
Polyphasia russata, 
Acidalia remutata, 
Harpalyce picata. 
I have had nearly thirty applications for 
Melanippe rivata, proving that a moth 
somewhat common here is not so every- 
where.— E dward S. Norcombe, Heavi- 
trce ; May 27, 1 856. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have some 
good duplicates of 
Smcrinthiis populi, 
Porthctria dispar, 
Mythimna turca, 
Caradrina glareosa, 
Amphipyra pyramidea, 
Tbyatira derasa and batis, 
Biston betularius : 
any of your readers in want of any of the 
above, I shall be happy to supply while 
my stock lasts. — W illiam Rodgers, 
Mooryute Grove, Rotherham ; May 26,

MEMORABILIA FOR JUNE. 
Lepidoptera. — Most of the species 
that should have appeared in May may 
now be looked for. The Orange Tip, 
Small Fritillaries and Wood White are 
not yet over. The clear-winged Sphinges 
are still to be met with, whilst many of the 
commoner Prominents will yet be found 
on palings or trunks of trees. Some 
of the early Sharks may be noticed on 
the wing at early dusk, and the little 
white Cilix compressa Hits about merrily 
in company with the more gaily-coloured 
Brimstone Moth (. Rutnia Cratayata) : as 
it grows darker, and the Nocluce emerge 
from their snug retreats, many may be 
observed, and those with pale under- 
wings ate most readily detected in the 
summer twilight, and whilst a Mamestra 
Brassicce , or Persicarice, with difficulty 
attracts our attention, the white under- 
winged Ayrotis seyetum, and exclamationis 
and Graphiphora plecta are caught by 
the score. Sugar is placed, and wisely, 
on the trunks of many trees, and a 
swarm of the variable Miana slriyilis and 
Grammesia trilinea is the result. 11c- 
pialus liectus, humuli and lupulinus, may 
all be found in grassy places. It was in 
company with II. liectus, near Amble- 
side, that we first met with the lovely 
Xerene albicillala. Several of the early 
Tortncina are already stirring, espe- 
cially species of the genus Anchylopcra ; 
and in the Tineina whole groups arc
