LePIDOI’TERA. 
The ne:iv Sesia. — I be^ to inform the 
readers of the ‘Intelligencer’ that the 
new Sesia taken by me near Torquay is 
S. Philanlhiformis. I have a few ex- 
amples still to dispose of. I am about 
to visit Horning Fen, and shall return in 
a few days. — George King; Aug. 8. 
Cossus Ligniperda at Sugar. — Last 
night my brother took a very fine female 
of this species at sugar: this is the 
second specimen I have seen in such a 
situation. — R. Tvrer, jun., Hill House, 
Eye; August 1. 
Acidalia Inornata. — On the 29th of 
July I had the good fortune to take a 
pair of this species in cop., and the good 
old dame has deposited a nice batch of 
eggs. Can any brother entomologist 
give me any information about the food- 
plant? if so, I should be much obliged. 
— W. Hydes, Bagshaw's Buildings, Park 
Spring, Sheffield ; August 6. 
Ephestia seinirufa, Haworth. — The 
other night, whilst my friend Douglas 
and I were generalizing,— that is, looking 
for anything, — I netted a specimen which 
puzzled us both. As we seemed to have 
got into the head-quarters of the above 
creature, I went on boxing till I was 
completely shut up, and then I com- 
menced and did the same for my friend. 
We afterwards went on another evening, 
and were alike successful. Haworth’s 
description is exceedingly good. — Johx 
Scott, 13, Torrington Villas, Lee, S.E.; 
July 21. 
Tinea caprimulgella. — Whilst in search 
of CEvophora lunaris, a few evenings ago, 
on a fence in Blackheath Park, I gave a 
glance at the trunks of the trees, and was 
rewarded with a specimen of the above 
insect. From the decayed wood one or 
two deserted pupa-skins were protruding, 
and I am inclined to think that the 
tenants had been no other than this 
hitherto scarce species. I hope by an- 
other season to solve the problem. — Ibid ;

Captures near Romsey. — On the 24th 
of July I caught a very fine specimen of 
Limenitis Sibylla in an opening of a 
wood between Romsey and Southampton, 
and on the following Monday I caught 
another specimen at Squab Wood, about 
one mile from Romsey. T have taken a 
large quantity of Arge Galalhea at the 
latter place. — F. J. Buckei.l, Romsey, 
Hants, 
Captures in North Wales. — I am happy
