Capture of Aleucis Pictaria. — I had 
the pleasure of capturing five very fine

mersmith ; April 24. 
Eubolia multistrigaria. — Having re- 
cently taken this insect in some numbers, 
I shall be glad to hear from any one in 
want of this species. — John Porter, 
jun., 8, East Street, Laves ; April 26. 
Brrphos notha. — During the last week 
I have succeeded in taking several 
B. notha on the flowers of sallows, wil- 
lows and aspen. I found them difficult 
to take, as they fly very high, and I was 
obliged to have a net with a pole 14 feet 
long. — R ev.G. Ruoston Read, Sutton- 
on- Derwent, near York; April 26. 
Lance in Luzula pilosa. — Mr. Scott 
lately found, near Stockton-on-Tees, a 
reddish green larva, making flat, rather 
transparent mines in the leaves of Luzula 
pilosa. Mr. Wilkinson, of Scarborough, 
has collected the same larva rather freely. 
I have twice visited West Wickham 
Wood in search of this larva, but I 
cannot find it there ; however, as some 
consolation, I have found in the Luzula 
pilosa two other sorts of larvae, one 
making a puckered mine almost like that 
of Gangabella, and the other making a 
flat mine proceeding from the tip of the 
leaf downwards: this last is scarce, as I 
have only found three, all in rather ex- 
posed situations; the puckered mines are 
pretty common, and these are generally 
well sheltered, and frequently where the 
leaves of the Luzula are completely 
concealed by the dead leaves, withered 
fern, &c. Perhaps if the Luzula were 
searched in other localities it would fur- 
nish a few more new larva:. — H. T. 
Stainton ; April 26. 
Coleoptera. 
Biphyllus lunalus. — I have taken a 
further supply of this insect, and should 
be glad to hear from any one in want of 
it. — S. Bingham, Newnham ; April 26. 
Carabus nitens. — I have taken lately a 
few specimens of C. nitens, and should 
be happy to exchange for some of my 
desiderata in Lepidoptera or Coleoptera.

to the editor of the ‘intelli- 
gencer.’ 
Sir, — Seeing in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ of 
April 10, a wish expressed that some of 
the younger entomologists should state
