Elachista magnificella. — Last Novem- 
ber I collected several plants of Luzula 
pilosa in Leigh Woods, and placed them 
in my garden : towards the end of April, 
1 observed that the upper cuticle of some 
of the leaves was loosened, and on visiting 
the woods I found many plants affected 
in the same way ; gradually the leaves 
became conspicuously puckered, and at 
length specimens of a broad brown, 
broad-shouldered larvse made their exit 
from the mines, and turned into pup® of 
a chestnut colour, on the leaves, without 
any web or covering whatever: up to 
Saturday last none of these pupae pro- 
duced anything, and the first intimation 
I had of the species was conveyed by 
Mr. Stainton’s note in the last number 
of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ This morning I 
have bred from these, several specimens 
of E. magnificella. — P. V. Vaughan, 
Redland, Bristol ; June 28. 
A new Elachista. — I have found here 
on Carex ornithopoda a yellow Elachista 
larva, with red dorsal stripes, reminding- 
one of E. cinereopunctella. The perfect 
insect proves to be a new species niter- 
mediate between Trapeziella and Tetra- 
gonella. I have named it E. ornithopi- 
della. It seems rare and difficult to rear.

A new Mine on Centaurea. — The day 
before yesterday I made a curious dis- 
covery : I found, at the edge of a wood, 
the leaves of Centaurea jacea, tenanted 
by a mining larva: the larva is very 
slender, of a yellowish green, spotted 
with black, with head and second seg- 
ment pale brownish : the mine radiates in 
different directions, like those of Druriella 
and Heydeniella. The larva abides over 
the midrib, beneath the loosened skin, 
and only sallies forth into the mine for 
the purpose of eating. I have only found 
a few, and am very curious to know what 
they will produce. — Ibid. 
Heliothis peltigera.— l have lately cap- 
tured a very fine specimen of this insect 
here, and as I see this locality is not 
mentioned in the ‘Manual,’ I thought 
perhaps it might be interesting to some 
of the readers of the 4 Intelligencer.’ — 
John Pratt, 35, Duke Street, Brighton ; 
June 29. 
Captures at Kettering. — I have much 
pleasure in adding the name of T. Pruni 
to the notables of this neighbourhood. 
I may at the same time state, “ for the 
benefit of those whom it may concern,” 
that all the genus Thecla are found here 
with the exception of Rubi, which I still 
hope to turn up some day. On the 19th 
inst. I captured three dozen Pruni, flying
