CAPTURES. 
LePIDOI’TERA. 
Sphecia Apiformis. — Yesterday morn- 
ing I caught this insect hovering round 
some Ragged Robins in the Seldon 
Woods, near Patching.— C. W. Wyatt, 
Patching Rectory ; June 15. 
Centra Bicuspis. — At present I have 
two male specimens of this insect on my 
setting-board ; they are gems. I took 
them when just emerged from pupae, — in 
fact, sitting just over the pupa-cases, on 
alders. Why do the French ones feed 
on birch ? as far as my observation goes, 
and according to that of others also in 
this country, they are exclusively alder- 
feeders. This is certainly one of the 
handsomest moths one could wish to see; 
when at rest the pure creamy white inter- 
mixed with the deep black at once dis- 
tinguishes them from Bifida, and their 
legs sprawling out, part purple and part 
black, give them a charming appearance. 
I am now resident on the spot, and have 
taken these close to my own house. I 
have had very little time tO‘ attend to 
Entomology ; what little I have had ap- 
pears to show well, yet within two miles 
of Preston. I took Bifida sitting over 
the pupa-cases upon the poplar, and 
Furcula on the willow, at the same lime 
that I took these Bicuspis . — J. B. Hodg- 
KiNsoN, Penworthani 3Iill,near Preston ; 
June 14. 
Ophiodes Lunaris . — A fine specimen 
of this insect was exhibited at the last 
meeting of the Haggerstone Entomo- 
logical Society. It was taken at sugar 
in West Wickham Wood by Mr. Smith, 
of Walworth, at the end of last month. — 
C. J. Bigg, Secretary, Haggerstone Ento- 
mological Society, 10, Broiunlow Street, 
Haggerstone, N.E. 
Epione Advenaria . — I captured a spe- 
cimen of this insect (a fine female), at 
rest, near the Black Rock, last evening. 
My friend Mr. Barber took two specimens 
in the same locality, about a lortnight 
ago. — Edwin , Love Street, Ilot- 
wells, Bristol; June 12. 
Agrotera Nemoralis . — I took a speci- 
men of this species last month, on the 
wing, at Woodsdale, near Battle. — John 
Porter, jun., Lewes; June 16.
