Coehylis gigantana, 
and the larva of 
Ypsolophus Durdhamellus on Ori- 
ganum vulgare. 
On the sand-hills, near Deal, I have 
found 
Acidalia perocharia among grass, 
H alias clorana on old willows, 
Lampronia Rubiella, and 
jEchmia atrella. 
Some old ash trees here have the bark 
full of Hylurgus ater. I have taken a 
great number of the bee tribe ; some 
nice ones amongst them. — H. J. Hard- 
ing, Noah's Ark, Peter Street, Deal ;

Offer of Duplicate Larvae. — I have a 
few larvae of Notodonta Ziczac to spare, 
and am in want of Saturnia Pavonia- 
Minor and Arctia Villica. — R. H. 
Fremlin, Wateringhury , Maidstone ; 
July 1, 1856. 
Lepidoptera taken, at Sheffield . — I 
have again taken a few Ceropacha fluc- 
tuosa and duplaiis by beating birch and 
oak ; Notodonta dromedarius and came- 
lina the same way : and at sugar a fine 
pair of Acronycta Alni in company with 
Rectilinea, Herbida, &c. — W. H., Shef- 
field ; July 1, 1856. 
Acronycta Alni. — I caught a single 
specimen, and that a remarkably fresh- 
looking and beautiful one, of this insect 
at sugar in Colnethorpe Wood on the 
12th inst. — S. Stone ; June 30, 1856. 
Acheronlia Atropos. — On Saturday last 
I had the pleasure of setting a very fine 
female specimen of Acheronlia Atropos. 
It was taken alive while quietly resting 
in the station of the Vale of Neath Rail- 
way in this town : the person who found 
it kept it alive for two or three days, still 
it is very little injured, the forehead and 
tips of the wings being a little denuded 
— Thomas Parry, Bank, Merthyr Tyd- 
vil ; July 1, 1856. 
Importation of Lepidoptera. — Since 
recording the capture of some Cole- 
optera imported in wool from Buenos 
Ayres at page 85, I have several times 
seen the same species in wool from the 
same quarter ; and on the 24th of June, 
having occasion to go down into the hold 
of the ship “Ferris,” just arrived from 
Montevideo with a cargo of wool, hides, 
&c., I found, besides swarms of the 
beetles named at p.85, Tinea Tapetzella, 
in abundance, and took a few specimens 
of Tinea Merdella, Z., and a single spe- 
cimen of an apparently new Ephestia . — 
N. Cooke, Liverpool ; June 30, 1856. 
Roeslerstammia Erxlebella (Lep.). — As 
to this species, it may occur on limes, but 
I took it in two places, one in Ross-shire 
and one in Sutherland, in both cases 
high up the hills, and with nothing near 
but heather and birch : I brushed it off 
birch. — E. C. Buxton, Daresbury Hall, 
Warrington ; June 23, 1856. 
On the habits of Argyresthia glauci- 
nella (Lep.). — The larva; of this species 
feed under the bark of oak and 
Spanish chestnut ; they are excessively 
local, and only found at the base of trees 
of enormous size; to wit, out of 1000 
oaks, &c., in Dunham Park, I have 
found them only on one Spanish chest- 
nut and three oaks. The imago pops 
out from 9 a.m. to 9 p. m., a continual 
appearance : they rarely rest with the 
head as a support like most of the spe- 
cies, but place themselves full-stretch on 
their legs as if ready to bolt; it is all 
sham ; nothing is easier than to pop 
them into a pill-box. I have seen none 
on the wing ; all were at rest. I do not 
doubt that they have been overlooked, 
from the strange place of their abode re- 
quiring a person to prostrate himself to 
be successful in their capture ; they are 
now out. — R. S. Edleston, 5, Meal 
Street, Manchester ; June 28, 1856. 
Glyphipteryx Haivorthana (Lep). — 
From the fat dumpy larva on the Erio- 
pliorum flower-heads I have bred a grand 
series of this insect. — Ibid. 
Coleophora of the Thistle. — I am very 
glad to see, by this week’s ‘ Intelligen-
