THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
99 
W. V. G. — Thanks for the suggestions. 
T. W. B., Louth. — P. Statices does 
not occur singly; catch a hundred or 
two. 
H. W. R., Preston. — “ A celebrated 
locality 40 miles North of this” looks as 
if you were afraid of revealing your 
hunting-ground, and as you want “ no 
applications,” it is unnecessary to publish 
your communication. 
S. B. — We never found Persicarice on 
birch, but believe it will eat nearly any 
thing. 
W. G. R. — Your larvae are Cucullia 
Verbasci; this species is not rare, but 
rather local. 
Change of Address. — Having re- 
moved from 4, Sussex Place, my address 
is now — Robert Harvey, 5, Portland 
Terrace, Southampton. 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Lepidoptera. 
Micra Ostrina in Ayrshire. — Mrs. 
Duncan captured, yesterday afternoon, 
a fine female specimen of what I con- 
ceive to be Micra Ostrina. In examining 
a clump of thistles on the sand hills it 
started up, and she gave it pursuit ; twice 
it alighted, and having nothing but a 
small pill-box to take it with, it was at 
last secured. — J. P. Duncan, Troon ; 
June 18. 
Polyommatus Arion. — Myself and a 
friend captured eight specimens of this 
insect about eight miles from here : two 
or three more have been caught near 
here. — R. E. Tk ye, Leckhampton Court; 
June 22. 
Bankia Bankiana. — I have met with this 
hitherto rare little Noctua in considerable 
numbers. It is extremely local, confined, 
so far as I have observed, to one little 
patch of bog on the mountain side. It 
flies heavily towards afternoon, but only 
for a few yards at once, settling on the 
stems of grass, after the fashion of a 
Crambus, and is easily captured. — E dwin 
Birchall, Killarney ; June 19. 
Colias Edusa at Lewisham. — On Mon- 
day evening I look a specimen of Colias 
Edusa at rest on a bramble leaf, near 
Catford Bridge. At the same time I 
also caught Cynthia Cardui. — V. R. 
Perkins, Bank of England ; June 15. 
Colias Edusa. — Yesterday (June 14) 
I took a fine specimen of this species 
near a clover field. Among others that 
have been taken here may be mentioned 
the following : — C. Cardui (about 30), 
A. Villica (2), P. Statices (2), A.Euvhro- 
syne (I). — G. W. Jones, King's School, 
Sherborne, Dorsetshire. 
Colias Edusa at Deptford. — Yesterday 
I took, in a portion of garden ground I 
hold in Grove Lane, Deptford, bordering 
on the canal, as fine a specimen of 
Edusa as ever I saw : it appears as if 
just out of the pupa. — J. II. Thomas, 
16, John Street, Royal Hill, Greenwich ; 
June 16. 
Colias Edusa. — On the 8th inst. I cap- 
tured a very fine female of this species ; 
it was very sluggish, and, at first sight, I 
thought it was G. Rharnni : its extreme 
fineness convinced me that it could not 
have hybernated, and 1 believe it had 
only emerged from the pupa a few 
hours before. Yesterday, in the same 
clover field, I saw two other specimens, 
but only caught one of them; both 
were females, and the one I captured was 
in fine condition: they flew much faster 
than the one I had previously taken. — 
H. Rogers, Freshivater, Isle of Wight; 
June 16. 
Melitcea Cinxia. — This insect has been 
plentiful in the island this year : I took 
some very fine specimens on the 1st of 
this month. — Ibid. 
Phibalapteryx Gemmaria.- — On the 3rd 
inst. I had the good luck to beat a fine
