it rose from the ground close to my feet 
to several feet above my head, when I 
distinctly saw the green under side ; and 
shortly after its return to terra firma , it 
was pinned in my collecting-box. It 
may be well to add that there is no 
doubt respecting its identity, as ex- 
perienced entomologists have seen it 
alive. — J. Pkatt, 35, Duke Street, 
Brighton ; August 6. 
Larvce of the Genus Euvilhecia wanted. 
• — I shall feel deeply indebted to any of 
the readers of the ‘Intelligencer’ who 
may meet with larvae of any of the Eupi- 
thccia, with the exception of the fol- 
lowing, — Linaria ta, Coronala, Haworlh- 
iata, Abbreviata, Castigata, Vulgata, 
Absinthiala, Cenlaureata,Venosata, Deno- 
tata, and Subnotata, — and can spare a few 
specimens, if they will send them to me 
with a piece of the food plant. I wish 
if possible to get the larvae of the whole 
family illustrated. I shall feel particu- 
larly obliged to any collector who may 
live in a heath district, if he will send 
me larvae of E. minulata. I am unac- 
quainted with the larva of the common 
E. exiguata, and much wish to know it. 
— Rev. H. Hakpuk Crew e, Stoiemarkel, 
Suffolk ; August 6. 
Buceulalrix marilima. — I have bred a 
line series of this local species from the 
brown larvae collected in May, mining 
the leaves of Aster Tripolium , and shall 
be very happy to supply any friend who 
may want the insect, as long as my spe- 
cimens last. The larva is a miner during 
its entire life, but has a singular habit 
when about two-thirds grown of quitting 
its original mine without any apparent 
reason, and forming a fresh mine in an 
adjoining leaf; when full fed they 
emerge, and form a very white cocoon 
on the under side of the leaf or on blades 
of grass: the cocoon is ribbed in true 
Buceulalrix fashion, and much resembles 
a while carraway. — P. H. Vaughan, 
Redland, near Bristol ; August 5. 
Lepidoplera near Sheffield. — During 
the past fourteen days I have taken and 
bred the following species: — 
Arge Galathea, plentiful. 
Hypogymna Dispar, bred. 
Diaphora Mendica, bred. 
Futnea Nilidella, bred. 
Thyatira Derasa (3). 
I.eucania Lytbargyria, on ragwort. 
Xylopbasia Scolopacina (2), on rag- 
wort. 
Apamea Connexa (9), resting on 
oak, &c. 
Cosmia Diffinis (3), bred. 
„ Affinis (2), bred. 
Hydrocampa Nympbauilis, plentiful. 
Scopula Etialis (12). 
Larentia Salicaria (6). 
Acidalia Inornaria (2). 
I have also a pair of bred specimens of 
O. Gonostigma to exchange for a pair of 
either Erebia Cassiope or Sesia Fucifor- 
mis, fine. — James Batty, 133, South 
Street Park, Sheffield ; duly 27.
