Ghadus. — Have you ever referred to 
Walker’s ‘Key to the Classical Pronun- 
ciation of Greek, Latin and Scripture 
Proper Names’ ? 
H. C. & Co. — Next week. 
E. W. — Your “black gentry” are the 
larvae of a saw-fly, Athaiia centifoiia, 
technically termed “ niggers,” and very 
destructive to turnips. A Prize Essay 
on this insect and the mode of checkinef 
its ravages, was published by the Ento- 
mological Society of London in 1838. 
The moth sent is Euclidia glypliica. 
Each contributor adds to the interest of 
the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Change of Address. — Having left 
Shaftesbury Street, Hoxton, my address 
is now — W. Gates, 13, John Street, 
Goldsmith’s Rote, Hackney Road. 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Lepidoptera. 
Colias Edusa. — I captured a female 
specimen of this insect in a lucerne field 
near Epping a few days since: I am 
sorry to say it is in rather a worn condi- 
tion. — John Henry Tilly, 3, Bernard 
Street, Regent’s Park North, London ; 
June 22. 
Pupa of V. Polychloros. — I find the 
larva of the above (feeding on the elm) 
very abundant in this neighbourhood, 
and will send the pupa to any person re- 
quiring it, on the receipt of a box and 
return postage. I have also a few dupli- 
cates of E. Versicolora ( $ and $), 
T. Leucographa and P. Empyrea, which 
I shall be glad to exchange for any in- 
sects numbered in the Appendix to the 
‘Manual,’ 115, 120, 127, 128, 187, 222, 
225, 226, 265, 377, 385, 447, 449.— W. 
Major, East Grinstead ; June 23. 
Stilpnotia Sa/icis. — I shall have du- 
plicates of this species in a few weeks’ 
time, which I will gladly forward to those 
who are in want of it, and who will send 
a box with stamps for return postage, or 
I will return the box free if it should 
contain any of my desiderata, among 
which are 
P. Corydon, E. Russula, 
S. Bombyliformis, P. Monacha, 
A. Trifolii, L. Rubi, 
G. Rubricollis, &c. 
Applicants must write immediately, as I 
shall regulate my capture of the larvae 
according to the number of applications. 
I shall have a few of Sphinx Liguslri to 
exchange for 
L. Sinapis, C. Elpenor, 
S. Fuciformis, C. Porcellus, 
T. Culieiformis, C. Dominula. 
— T. Blackmqre, The Hollies, Wands- 
worth, S. YV. ; June 22. 
Acidalia Holosericearia bred. — During 
the past week I have bred E. Tenuiaia 
and A. Holosericearia ; the former from 
catkins of the sallow, the latter from 
larvas taken during the day amongst the 
stems and roots of wild thyme. As far as 
I can remember, the larva is of a pretty 
lilac colour, with the lateral line spotted 
with buff and black. — Henry Bolt, 
15, Beaumont Place, Stapleton Road, 
Bristol; June 22. 
Elachista Trialomea bred. — I am now 
breeding this species: eight came out 
yesterday and four to-day, so that I shall 
be able to send you the larva next season ; 
it feeds in a very narrow grass, quite at 
the end of May.— T. Wilkinson, 6, Cliff 
Bridge Terrace, Scarborough ; June 22. 
Captures near Colchester. — I had the 
pleasure of capturing a specimen of Colias 
Edusa, and my brother saw a second last 
week. Judging from the state of my own 
insect, I think it must have hybernated. 
V. Alalanla and Cardui have also ap- 
peared. Polychloros, to judge from the 
denuded state of the elm trees, will be 
far from rare this season ; I am now 
taking both larva: and pupae. T. Tipuli- 
forme has been very abundant, though
