Gnorimus nobilis . — Having commis- 
sioned a non-entomological friend resid- 
ing near the Thames bank at Fulham 
(where, in a rotten cherry tree, I found 
some years ago a score of this beautiful 
insect, and plenty of its larvae), to take a 
quantity of the rose-beetle, in hopes of 
the rarer species turning up among them, 
I duly received about 200 specimens of 
the Celonia taken on privet-blossom, an<l 
one or two Serica Irutinea, but no Gnori- 
mus, To make up for this disappoint- 
ment, however, a specimen of nobilis was 
actually taken alive iu the garden of our 
house, by my brother, last week ; how it 
came there I cannot conjecture. If any- 
body wants the Celonia fresh and un- 
pinned I shall be glad to supply as far 
as I can. — Ibid.

Notes on Eupiihecia Lame , — I have 
several times taken specimens of Eupi- 
ihbcia coronota on |)aliiigs iu the middle 
of July, and as April and May are the 
normal periods of its ai)pearaiice in the 
imago stale, I came to the conclusion 
that it was doublc-broodcd, and I have 
now decisive proof that this is the case. 
On the 2nd of July I beat a full-fed larva 
off flowers of Thymus serpyllum. It spun 
up on the 6th, and this morning (July 21) 
the perfect insect appeared. 
The Eupiihecia larva; reared on flowers 
of L'turuslinus last winter, and of which 
I gave a short notice in the ‘Intelli- 
gencer’ a few months since, produced, as 
I thought they would, E. innotata about 
live weeks ago. The larvie which I beat 
from ash iu September (the ordinary time 
of its occurrence) produced perfect insects 
at the same time as those fed on Laurus- 
tinus which spun up iu December. 
Have any of your readers been for- 
tunate enough to get eggs of E, puT 
chellala this season ? I should feel very 
much indebted to any entomologist who 
can give me any information as to the 
larva of this insect, which I have never 
myself been Ibrtunate enough to meet 
with in any stage of its existence. — Rev.

Curpocapsa Reaumurana . — Under this 
name I have given to many entomolo- 
gists specimens of a Carpocapsa bred 
from chestnuts. It is uescvibed and 
figured by Reaumur, vol.ii. p. 601, pi. 40, 
fig. 13, 14, 16. It appeals to be distinct 
from C, Splendana, Amplana and Fagi- 
ylandana , — Caul von IJeyden. — From 
the ‘ Correspondenzblall,' No. 7, p. 66. 
Nepticula angulifasciella in America ! 
— I have at last succeeded in breeding a 
Nepticula, and the species is so very like 
your Any ulifasciella, both in ornamenta- 
tion, as given in Vol. I. of the ‘Natural 
Hi.>*tory of the Tineiua,’ and in its pre- 
paratory states, that 1 am much inclined 
to believe it the same insect ; indeed my 
feeling in this respect amounts almost 
to conviction, and yet I have named it 
Rubifotiellu, from its food-plant, merely, 
however, because at the time I described 
it I had but a single specimen : since that 
time another imago has made its ap- 
pearance. Should these insects prove to
