— H. C. & Co., BrocJcley Lane ; June 24. 
Sphecia Bembeciformis. — Last Saturday 
I captured a fine specimen of this insect 
at vest on a leaf of the hazel, at West 
Wickham ; it appeared to have just 
emerged from the pupa state. — C. D. 
Drury, Grole’s Buildings, Blackheath ; 
June 28 . 
Thecla Pruni. — When, last week, I 
announced the capture of Pruni in this 
locality, I made no offer of exchange, 
very few of my insects being in fine con- 
dition ; notwithstanding, I have received 
so many pressing applications, that after 
parting with my own set, I am compelled 
to ask your permission to say, through 
the medium of the ‘ Intelligencer,’ that 
my supply is exhausted ; it being utterly 
impossible, at this busy seasou of the 
year, to answer individually every ap- 
plicant. — W. Sturgess, Kettering ; 
July 5. 
Hybrids of the Genus Smerinthus . — 
I have hybrid specimens of this genus, 
male Ocellalus, female Populi; the eggs 
were laid last June, and flies produced 
in the course of last month ; also speci- 
mens of Populi , Ocellalus, Tilice, C. 
Davus , &c. — John Adamson, 15, Stam- 
ford Street, Hulme. 
Toxocampa Pastinum in a Railway 
Carriage. — On the 1 9th ult., I took near 
Botley, a fine specimen of this insect, 
which was drawn into the carriage win- 
dow by the draught, and fell exhausted 
on the seat opposite to me. — J. F. Moon, 
Ryde. 
Limenitis Sibilla. — I took this insect 
in fine condition at Andover, on the 23rd 
ult. — I bid. 
Anthrocera Minos in the West of Scot- 
land. — I have not observed that Anthro- 
cera Minos has hitherto been taken in 
Scotland. I enclose one or two speci- 
mens captured on the 26th of last month 
on the side of the road between Oban 
and Dunstaffnage Castle, at the mouth 
of Loch Etive. I had no net, but ma- 
naged to knock down eight or ten with 
my handkerchief and to spit them for 
the sake of the locality, with fine High- 
land pins. — Professor Wyville Thom- 
son, 6, University Terrace , Belfast, 
July 3. 
A new Lithocolletis Larva. — Herr 
Hofmann of Ratisbon has been success- 
ful in finding a new larva of this genus, 
mining the under side of the leaves of 
Helianthemum vulgare. I am in great 
hopes this will produce L. trigullella, so 
long unique in Mr. Douglas’ collection. 
— H. T. Stainton ; July 5. 
Larvce of Cemiostoma Lotella. — Mr. 
Wilkinson of Scarborough has sent me a 
magnificent supply of the larvae of this 
little gem. The mine is at first a round 
grey blotch on the upper side of the 
leaf, the egg-shell being a very conspi- 
cuous object on the centre of the blotch ; 
the mine afterwards is extended much 
beyond the grey central portion, the 
outer area being pale green. It is not a 
little singtdar that Neplicula Septem- 
brella and Cemiostoma lustratella feed 
on Hypericum, and the mines are often 
mistaken by the uninitiated ; and that 
two species, so to speak, perfectly pa- 
rallel, Nepticula Cryptella and Cemio- 
stoma Lotella feed on the Lotus, and 
their mines might readily be confounded 
by one not personally acquainted with 
them. The leaves sent appear to be 
Lotus major, not corniculatus, but pro- 
bably it will feed on both species. — Ibid. 
Early appearan ce of Heliothis Dipsacea. 
— A specimen of this insect, in splendid 
condition, was taken on the Cribrum 
ground, near Ringwood, on June 24th, 
nearly three weeks before the usual time. 
— Rev. H. Adair Pickard, Christ 
Church , Oxford ; July 9.
