Pieris Daplidice. — I have received 
intelligence of the capture of a “ tolerable 
specimen ’’ of this insect “ on the downs 
near Lewes.’’ The captors are not very 
old in years, though they have pursued 
the study of Entomology for some time, 
and are far too advanced to mistake 
Cardamines for Daplidice. — H. T. Stain- 
ton ; July 19. 
Acheronlia Alropos. — A fine specimen 
of the larva of this moth was found here 
on Friday, and it is now in my posses- 
sion. — E. Walker, Harrow; July 19. 
Captures near Sheffield. — On visiting 
Maltby Wood and the adjoining neigh- 
bourhood, on the lllh inst., in company 
with Mr. Ezra Sarson, of Cross Pool, 
near Sheffield, we succeeded in taking 
sixty-eight T. Paslinum, about eighty 
A. Galalhea, and one P. Chrysorrheea, 
which kindly laid about fifty eggs; H. 
Hyperanthus was in great profusion ; 
A. Loniceree was also plentiful. — Wm. 
Laycock, Bath Street, Sheffield ; July 19. 
Zeuzera JEsculi. — On June 24th I 
found on some palings in the Regent’s 
Park a female of this beautiful moth, 
which, in the course of the next thirty 
hours, deposited a quantity of eggs. 
After seeing your remark in No. 18, 1 
had but small hope of the larva ; never- 
theless I placed the eggs in a box 
“ corked and papered,’’ and disturbed 
them as little as possible, having a sus- 
picion that darkness might have some- 
thing to do with their well - being. 
Whether this is really the case, I will 
not profess to say, but on looking into 
the box, on the 18th inst., I found about 
three dozen larvae busily engaged in 
inspecting the interior, and plenty more 
on the point of emerging. This is rather 
encouraging, and I shall try several 
“ dodges ’’ to rear them. Another batch 
of eggs from a moth brought in two days 
later is in equally promising condition. 
If any one has had experience in 
breeding this species, I should feel 
greatly obliged by a few hints. L. 
Salicis has been abundant in the 
Regent’s Park, though very local, and I 
have also met with P. Chrysorrheea and 
D. Cucubali, neither of them common 
moths in this neighbourhood ; the latter 
has visited the flowers of the Heliotrope 
at midnight.— J. R. Hind, 22, Grove 
Road, St.John's Wood ; July 19. 
[Another correspondent suggests that JEs- 
culi will live three years in the larva state.] 
The Centaurea jacea Miner . — I have 
no doubt that by this time Professor Frey 
is as much astonished as myself at the 
change which has come over the ap- 
pearance of the caterpillar. The yel- 
lowish green look which they had is now 
gone, and they may fairly rank amongst 
the prettiest of the micro larvae. They 
are now of a pale yellow colour with a 
dorsal line, and two others on each side 
of it, bright pink. The lines are slightly 
interrupted at the junction of the seg- 
ments. As they approach the antepen- 
ultimate segment, these lines become 
united so that the terminal segments are 
of a uniform pink colour. The head and 
corselet still retain their pale brown ap- 
pearance, and the posterior edge of the 
corselet is now bordered by a darker line. 
The two rows of dark spots also remain 
on each segment, four of which pos- 
teriorly and two anteriorly are the most 
conspicuous, and from each of these 
starts a single hair. I am half inclined, 
despite their very gay appearance, to 
believe them to be the larvae of one of 
the Depressarice.— John Scott, Soulh- 
jieldl Villas ; July 17. 
[On the contrary, we believe they will 
produce a new species of Cosmopteryx.~\
