THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCE!!. 
home, a distance of eight miles, where we 
arrived rather knocked up, owing to the 
heat, &c. — G kuvase F. Mathews, Ra- 
leigh House, near Barnstaple ; March 22. 
The first Night at the Sallows. — On 
Saturday last, while out riding, I ob- 
served that several sallow bushes were in 
full bloom. The evening proved toler- 
ably propitious, and I went out for half 
an hour’s search : I found a good amount 
of moths at the blossoms, including, be- 
sides some of the hybernating species, 
Leucographa, Cruda, Gothica, See., thus 
showing that the season may be fairly 
considered to have commenced. — Rev.

Endromis versicolor. — I am now breed- 
ing some line specimens of this insect 
from larvae, reared from eggs taken last 
year at Rannoch, Perthshire. This will 
serve as a hint to those who think of 
going after this species. — H. J. Harding, 
1, York St., Church Street, Shoreditch ;

A nciv Colcophora. — On the 7th of 
October, 1835, at the Seance of the En- 
tomological Society of France, “ the Secre- 
tary communicated a report of M. Dume- 
ril on a Tinea which Ai. Vallot de Dijon 
thought was new, but which was the 
Vibicella of Hiibuer. AI. Vallot had sent 
a description of the insect under the 
name of Craccella.” Of this insect we 
know nothing further than is there stated, 
but, from the name Craccella we conclude 
that it fed upon Vicia Cracca ; whether 
AI. Vallot is now alive and able to give 
any further information I cannot say. 
AI. Alilliere, of Lyons, bred last year a 
splendid new Colcophora, closely allied 
to Vibicella, intermediate between that 
species and Conspicttella ; the larvae of 
this new species fed on Vicia Sepium, 
and their cases, of which I have speci- 
mens before me, are very different from 
those of any other known Colcophora; 
they have large flaps like the cases of 
J’allialcllti, but the tubular portion is 
much longer than in the case of that 
species, and has the shining pod-like 
appearance of the case of Vibicella. I he 
species, in all probability, will now soon 
be discovered in England and Germany.

Butalis Torquatella bred. — Last Octo- 
ber Messrs. Schmid and Aliihlig found, 
at Fraukfort-on-the-Alaine, a larva with 
brown head, brown thoracic plate, and 
the remaining segments whitish, prettily 
marbled with purple-red ; it was mining 
the leaves of the birch, making large 
blotches. This larva remained unchanged 
inside the leaf till spring, then, quitting 
the mine, it spun a net-work cocoon and 
changed to pupa. Yesterday these pupae 
produced me two specimens of B. Tor- 
quattdla. The peculiar mode of life of 
this larva indicates that Torquatella is 
not a true Butalis, as already Zeller and 
Hcrrich-Schaffer had suspected. — Pro- 
fessor Frey, Zurich ; March 24. 
Trifurcula pulverosella bred. — Last 
July you sent me some of the apple- 
blotch Nep., which I subsequently found 
here. I have now bred three specimens ; 
it is allied to Crgplella, but larger, and 
the cilia of the anterior wings paler. I 
suspect this will be the Trifurcula pul- 
verosclla of the ‘ Insecta Britannica.’ — 
Ibid. 
V 1 ulverosclla had been observed to fre- 
quent the wild apple, and it was already 
strongly suspected it would prove to be 
the imago of the blotch-apple Nep.] 
A new Neplicula. — Last July 1 found, 
in hawthorn, a Nep. larva making dark 
brown blotches ; from these I have re- 
cently bred a new species, which is nearly 
allied to N. anomalella, and for which I 
propose the name of N. Paradoxa. — 
Ibid. 
Ornix on Hornbeam. — This insect (see 
Intell. iii. p. 53) I have bred ; it is closely 
allied to Anglicella , if indeed it be dis- 
tinct from that species. — Ibid. 
Ornix on Lime (sec Intell. iii. p. 53). — • 
I have bred one specimen of this : it
