THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
155 
August (while bent on a fruitless search 
after Grapta C-Album in one of its for- 
mer haunts) I encountered a specimen of 
Limenilis Sibilla in apparently fine con- 
dition. On the same day I captured a 
female of Apalura Iris sitting on a low 
tree in a little narrow strip of copse by 
the road side. While resting at the Inn 
I put a freshly-hatched female Egger in 
the window, which drew the males with 
great success, and curiously enough they 
came to both sides of the building; and 
even when I drove off home fresh ones 
continued to come after the cart, two or 
th ree at a time, till I aud my companion 
were fairly tired of stopping to bag them, 
and left off, having taken upwards of 
thirty, and leaving some still on the 
road. — W. II. Draper, Chichester; 
August 5, 1856. 
Chrysoclista Schrankella (Lep.) double- 
brooded . — I suspected, last season, that 
there must be a second brood of Schrank- 
ella : to-day I have bred a number of 
them ; the second brood is far more nu- 
merous than the first.— T. Wilkinson, 
Scarbro’ ; August 5, 1856. 
Laverna Raschkiella double-brooded . — 
Mr. Machin, Mr. F. O. Standisb, and I, 
have all bred this species from larvae 
making flat mines, last month, in the 
leaves of Epilobium angustifolium on 
Box Hill. — H. T. Stainton ; August 
13, 1856. 
Summer brood of Nepticula Septem- 
brella (Lep.). — I bred on the 3rd inst. 
several specimens of this species from 
the leaves of Hypericum collected in 
July, and have since bred a few more. — 
C. Miller, Dalslon ; August 5, 1856. 
Clostera Curtula near Newmarket. — 
On Friday, the 1st inst., I captured a 
beautiful specimen of Curtula at rest on 
the trunk of a tree: there were two, but 
one on beholding the ignominious end of 
its partner made the best use of its wings, 
and was soon invisible. I should not 
have troubled you with this but for the ? 
I saw in the ‘Manual’ yesterday. The 
presence of these, I should say, implies 
that another brood is now out. — E. Wag- 
staff, Chippenham, Newmarket ; August 
5, 1856. 
Steropes Paniscus at Cirencester . — I 
was in error as to Puniscus. I had no 
work at hand, and trusting to memory 
made the mistake. I send the only spe- 
cimen I took that you may see what it is. 
— S. Bingham, Newnham ; August 12, 
1856. 
[The specimen sent is Pamphila Syl- 
vanus .] 
Lnphopteryx Cucullina. — Last Sunday 
evening, while walking in the woods 
here, I took a large, but faded, specimen 
of this insect. — A. H. Clarke, Great 
Marlow, Bucks; August 6, 1856. 
Cucullia Gnaphulii. — I have suc- 
ceeded in finding a very few more of the 
larvae of this rarity ; but alas ! they are 
horribly infested with a small ichneu- 
mon, which walks out of them and spins 
a web when they are about half grown. 
I shall be glad to send these to any 
scientific collector of ichneumons who 
may think it worth while to apply for 
them on the chance of their producing 
something out of the way. — W. H. 
Hawker, Horndean , Hants ; August 11, 
1856. 
A Day on Box Hill. — Last Thursday 
my friend Mr. Newnham and I made an 
excursion to Box Hill. On the south 
slope we took one Ennomos Illustraria, 
and several Pamphila comma, Pyrausta 
anguinalis and ostrinalis, hovering over 
flowers, with which the hill is literally 
carpeted. Selina irrorella was abundant 
among junipers. Dosithea ornataria and 
Aspilates gilvaria we took rising from the 
grass. By beating junipers we captured 
Ypsoloplius marginellus, Pcronea asper- 
sana, and Depressaria subpropinquella. 
At the top of the hill we were honoured 
by a short interview with his majesty 
Apalura Iris ; blithe concluded it more 
abruptly than w r e wished. — S. C. Tress 
Beale, Tenterden , Kent; August 9, 1856.
