THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
75 
fine specimen of T. Culiciforme at rest 
on a birch-leaf. — J. Wragg, 7, Spring 
Gardens, Doncaster. 
Gelechia fumatella . — Last night, being 
drizzling and mild, I went to the sand- 
hills to collect a lot of the larvae of Lasio- 
carnpa Trifolii for some friends who 
wanted a few ; whilst so employed I took 
six specimens of G. fumatella. Is it 
double-brooded, as these were worn, and 
it is a J Illy insect with us ? I have plenty 
of L. Trifolii larvae now for those who 
want it. — C. S. Gbegson, Fletcher Grove, 
Stanley, near Liverpool ; June 2. 
A gloomy days Sport . — On the 28th 
of May I started, at about half-past nine, 
with not a very pleasant prospect before 
me, the sky being overcast with sundry 
clouds, and a strong north-west wind was 
blowing, but the warmness of the pre- 
ceding week made me hope that some- 
thing might still be seen, so with net and 
boxes I tramped away to the woods. I 
had gone nearly three miles without 
meeting anything at all, and the look of 
the weather was no better than when I 
first started ; with so cheering a prospect 
1 had almost determined to turn back, 
but at a short distance off I espied a 
moth sitting on a larch fir close down to 
the ground: on examining it I found it 
to be a nice female of Boarmia con- 
sortaria. I then proceeded, and in the 
intervals of sunshine Argynnis Euphro- 
syne and Lasiommata ^geria fiitted by ; 
with this I took courage and went still 
further, and on summing up ray captures, 
after my morning’s sport, I found they 
exceeded my expectations for so gloomy 
a day, and were as follows: — 
Lasiommata JEgeria (1), 
Argynnis Euphrosyne (4), 
Diaphora Mendica (1 9)» 
Boarmia consortaria (1 $ and 1 ?), 
Tephrosia cousonaria (3), 
and a few other common sorts. Between 
the 6ih and 30th of April, this year, I 
took seven specimens of Tephrosia lari- 
caria : last year they were much earlier 
and more plentiful, owing to the mildness 
of the spring; for instance, I took twenty 
specimens between the 13ih and 25th of 
March, and after that they were not seen 
again, as they were done. In company 
with Mr. Chaney, I also took, at the 
sallows, Taniocampa Leucographa and 
Gracilis . — G.Lewcock, S9, High Street, 
Chatham. 
CoLEOPTEBA. 
Elater sanguinolentus . — If Mr. Gloyne 
will be good enough to refer to Mr. Water- 
house’s list, he will find the above to be 
the correct name for the red Elater found 
by myself and others under turf, &c., on 
Wimbledon Common. It would be as 
well for Mr. Gloyne to study the above 
list prior to correcting other people, — 
sanguinolentus being the name that 
stands, ephippium being obsolete. — A. 
Solomon, 6 , Spenser Road. 
OBSERVATIONS, 
Enquiry as to the Eggs of Nemeohius 
Lucina . — Can any gentleman kindly tell 
me what is the colour of the eggs of 
N. Lucina, and any distinctive marks in 
thpm, as I fancy that some eggs which I 
have got belong to that species. — E. B. 
Bkackenbury, St. Peter's College, Rad- 
ley, Abingdon, Berks. 
Hybridism . — Being desirous to obtain 
hybridous ovse from Smerinthus Populi 
and S. Ocellatus, and having females of 
both, I took them into Prince’s Park on 
the night of Monday, the 28th instant, 
and about ten o’clock was visited by a 
male Ocellatus, which was oonducted into 
the cage containing a female Poptdi, and 
by the time I reached home they were in 
cop. The next day I obtained upwards 
of one hundred eggs. — T. Galliers,
