THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER 
Acidalia Degenerciria. — I lmve taken 
a few specimens of this local species in 
the Isle of Portland, but it seems to be 
rare this year, even in its favourite 
haunts. — I bid. 
Hipparehia Semete. — I shall take 
plenty of H. Semele soon, if any one 
wants it. V. Polychloros , C. Cardui , 
M. Athalia, and many specimens of the 
Bornbycina and Noctuina will be very 
acceptable.— R. Tyber, Jun., Row Lane , 
Southport ; July 1. 
Captures at Black Park . — Yesterday I 
and a friend visited the Black Park, and, 
among other captures took a number of 
L. Camilla , A. Paphia and A. Galathea. 
Any one in want of this last-named local 
insect can have it by sending a box and 
stamps to my address; and should he 
have any duplicates, either larva, pupa 
or perfect insects, to spare, they will 
prove very acceptable. — J. P. Thomas, 
Jun., 2, Catherine Street, Strand, Lon- 
don, W.C., July 5. 
Sharp Work . — It may be interesting 
to some of the readers of the ‘ Intel- 
ligencer’ to be informed that 1 have this 
summer fed up the larvae of Plilodontis 
palpina in the short period of nineteen 
days. Eggs hatched June 8th, larvae 
commenced spinning June 27th. — Geo. 
Gascoyne, Newark ; June 4. 
Zeuzera JEsculi . — A gentleman re- 
sident in London having procured in 
Kensington Gardens several fine speci- 
mens of the wood leopard, is anxious to 
exchange them for other sorts: quantity 
rather than quality being his object. On 
receipt of a small assortment, he will at 
once forward a wood leopard to his cor- 
respondent’s address. — A. H. Pearson, 
Harrow. 
Larvw ivanted. — I am desirous of 
breeding 
S. Ocellatus, 
S. Tiliae, 
S. Ligustri. 
If any of your readers would, be kind 
enough to send the larva; of any of the 
above, with list of their desiderata, I will 
make the best return in my power. — 
James Crowther, Lister Lane, Halifax; 
July 2. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have several 
specimens to spare of the following: — 
P. Machaon (6), 
A. Galathea (20), 
V. Polychloros (24), 
P. Alsus (36), 
H. Sylvanus (abundant), 
H. Linea (abundant) ; 
Corydon will be abundant next week : 
also — 
C. Porcellus (abundant), 
S. Ligustri (abundant). 
C. Elpenor occurs, but is very difficult to 
take. Boxes ought to be sent by appli- 
cants, as 1 have no supply. Perhaps 
they can favour me with some of the 
following in exchange: — 
A. Cratsegi, 
V. C-Album, 
N. Lueina, 
M. Athalia, 
P. Argiolus, 
P. Actteon, 
S. Paniscus, 
and any of the Hair-streaks (except T. 
Quercus), and any of the genus Tro- 
chilium. Rev. T. Hartopp Knapp, 
Letchworth Rectory, Hitchen; June 5. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have some 
fine specimens of N. conspicuaria , T. W- 
album, C. liguslraria and C. obliquaria 
to spare. Can any one send me T. 
ichneumon if orme or culiciforme ? I will 
send any one a pair of N. dodoncea or 
D. corpophaga for a pair of the latter. 
— Rev. H. Harpur Crewe, Slow market ; 
July 3. 
Gelechia Sircomella. — On the 3rd I 
captured three specimens of this insect 
by sweeping amongst clover and Ilclian- 
themum vulgare. — W. Thompson, 4, 
Dutton's Buildings, Mill Street, Crewe ; 
July 5. 
Swammcrdamia Pruni. — Mr. Parlitt
