THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

A. S., Rugby. — You must breed Psi 
aud Tridens if you want to separate 
them: the perfect insects resemble the 
two pups of which Sambo said — 
“ Cassar and Pompey berry much like; 
’Specially Pompey.” 
A- — Read and you will kuow : our 
object is not to save incipients the trou- 
ble of reading. 
Erratum. — In last weeks ‘ Intelligen- 
cer,’ p. 174, left-hand column, line 30, 
for “Kiugford” read “ Friugford.” 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Erebia Cassiope. — Mr. Young is over- 
run with applications for this insect : 
he only took two dozen, and half of them 
were wasted, and now letters come pouring 
in to him by the dozen, asking for it. 
As he cannot possibly supply a fourth 
part of those who have written for it, it 
is to be Imped that those who do not get 
the insect will wait quietly till nest 
summer. — H. T. Stainton ; August 28, 
1856. 
Orgyia gonostigma and Retinia syl- 
veslrana. — I have now disposed of all 
I have in duplicate. The applications 
are rather too numerous for all to be 
answered. — F. O. Standish, 2, Alfred 
Collages , Warner Road, Camberwell ; 
August 27, 1856. 
To my Unknown Correspondent . — If 
my correspondent from Rotherham will 
again write, and let me have his name 
and address, I will try to let him have 
what he wants. I could not decipher 
his letter, especially the name and ad- 
dress. I must also apologise to my other 
correspondents for delay in answering 
their letters ; but my absence from home, 
and also want of boxes to send the in- 
sects in, have caused me to be neglectful 
of some, but I will reply to all in turn.— 
A. F. Sealy, 20, Trurnpington Street , 
Cambridge; August 27 , 1856. 
Ampkipyra pyramidea (Lep.) — During 
the last week I have taken several speci- 
mens of Pyramidea at sugar, which I 
shall be glad to exchange with collectors 
in want of that insect for Nemeobius Lu- 
cina or Pampliila Comma. — E. Leth- 
bridge, 40, Old Town Street, Plymouth ; 
August 27, 1856. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have a few 
spare specimens of 
Arge Galathea, 
Polyommatus Argiolus, and 
Cheerocampa Elpenor. 
If any of your readers wish for the above 
I shall be happy to supply them. — C. B. 
Hodgson, Hockley Hill, Birmingham; 
August 26, 1856. 
Lepidoptera in Sherivood Forest. — 
August 21st, Thursday, I took Tliecla 
Quercus in good condition ; two Psilura 
Monacha sitting on oaks ; a larva of 
Stauropus Fagi crawling up an oak. 
Euperia fulvago was scarce at sugar. 
Saturday 23rd, Fulvago rather more 
plentiful. Aplecta occulta and Cerigo 
cylherea, one specimen of each at sugar. 
I also took Segetia xanthographa, 9 > and 
Euperia trapezina, $ , in copula. Sun- 
day 21th, Xanthographa laid her eggs: 
will the larva: follow the habits of their 
paternity or maternity ? Tuesday 26th, 
Fulvago rather more abundant, but sel- 
dom taken after the first time round. 
Noctua Hebraica appeared. I counted 
twenty-four Pyramidea on one magnifi- 
cent oak. Took a larva of Acronycta 
leporina on a young man’s back. Wed- 
nesday 27th, returned home, taking, en 
route, a larva of Chcerocampa Elpenor on 
willow-herb, nearly full fed. — H. Adair 
Pickard, Ilooton Roberts, Rotherham ; 
August 28, 1856. 
Grapla C-Album. — In Shropshire I 
had many opportunities of observing this 
insect. In early spring it emerges from 
its winter retreats, and delights in lanes 
and bare spots at the bottom of deep 
woody dingles and ravines, where the 
sun shines warm and no wind can come ; 
there it sails round about with an ease
