THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
gentlemen who have written to me re- 
specting T. Cuticiforme and L. Testudo , 
I beg to inform them that I have distri- 
buted all my duplicates amongst my 
friends, but, should fortune favour me 
next year, they shall hear from me. —

Entomological Notes for 1858, and 
List of Captures . — March 20th. — C. 
Mullistrigaria. Very common at the bot- 
tom of open palings in Richmond Park. 
April 12th. — Took two male Endromis 
Versicolor at Tilgate. This species, when 
flying at its ease, does not fly so rapidly 
as L. Quercus, and by fast running you 
may overtake and capture them, but it is 
rather hard work chasing over such 
ground, and many a tumble may be ex- 
pected. On dull days this species may 
be advantageously searched for, sitting 
on the twigs of the dwarf birches, feet 
upwards, and as there is little or no show 
of leaf at that time, they can be seen at 
some distance, more especially the 
females. There is a peculiarity in the 
flight of this species I have not noticed 
in any other, at least to the same extent; 
if struck at and alarmed, they rise up in 
the air at a most furiously rapid pace, 
nearly perpendicularly, and continue 
their ascent till beyond the power of 
vision : the first and second time I saw 
this I certainly was astonished. 
Brephos Parlhenias. Common, flying 
over birches. 
C. Flavicornis. Common, sitting on 
young birch stems. 
Biston Prodromaria. 
„ Hirtaria. 
,, Pilosaria. 
T. Punctularia. 
C. Ferrugaria. 
Smerinthus Ooellatus. 
„ Populi. 
Eriogaster Lanestris. 
Notodonta Ziczac. 
„ Diclxoides. 
Z. Procellaria. 
The above all bred during May from 
larvae collected last year. 
May 9th.*— Took one female N. Car- 
melita, and a male ditto on the 13th; 
from the former I had eggs, and hope to 
rear a few next spring. This species I 
find near the ground, and they seem to 
prefer rather shady places ; middle size 
birches growing amongst pines are good ; 
I have taken three in such places ; the 
larva evidently prefers the shade, avoiding 
light as much as possible. In its young 
stage it feeds entirely on the under side 
of the leaf. 
Eupithecia Nanaria. Very common 
over Calluna. 
Ephyra Poraria. 
„ Punctaria. 
„ Pendularia. 
„ Trilinearia. 
All of them common in woods round 
London. 
May 23rd. — D. Pinastri. On a fence 
in Richmond Park (early) and at sugar in 
J une. 
June 7th. — Took seven larvae of O. 
Gonosligma. 1 had one or two fruitless 
journeys for this species, thinking it 
would appear early in May, but it is 
quite the latter end of the month before 
they leave their hybernaculum (those 
who require this pretty species would 
do well to note that) ; five of the above 
were females, and each of them iclineu- 
moned. I took twenty last spring; not 
one of them failed me. I have found 
very many species infested the present 
season. 
C. Unangularia. One beat on Wim- 
bledon Common. 
June 13th. — Beat eighteen larva? of 
Endromis Versicolor at Tilgate : very 
small at this date. 
Ceratopacha Fluctuosa. Beaten from 
birch. 
E. Russula. Common, disturbed from 
Calluna vulgaris. 
Cabera Strigillaria. Common, disturbed 
from Calluna vulgaris.
