of information from Westwood’s ‘ Intro- 
duction.’ The orders come hickledy- 
pickledy in the monthly parts of Curtis’s 
‘ British Entomology,’ so that you can’t 
pick out any one order you want. 
S. B. — The insect inclosed in your 
letter was Hibernia progemmaria. Diur- 
nea Fagella feeds on oak, beech, bird), 
sallows, &c., &c. 
T. L. C. — Your larva from the post is 
the Small Magpie, liotys urlicalis. The 
other is one of the Noctuce , but we can - 
not say which. Urlicalis does not eat 
old posts, but it retires into such locali- 
ties, when full fed, to pass the winter. 
F. 0. R. — Your beetle is not common : 
it is the Cassida pulchella of Panzer. 
Endbomis Vebsicolora (Kentish 
Globy). 
This is one of the great prizes of the 
Lepidopterist during the present month. 
We thought some of our juvenile readers 
would like to see what it was like, so we 
have selected it for the illustration of the 
present number. 
It must be borne in mind that the 
Kentish Glory is not a nocturnal insect; 
it does not come to sugar nor to light: 
we never heard of its being found at rest 
on the trunk of a tree. When- seen it is 
generally anything but “ at rest,” career- 
ing wildly, belter skelter through the 
bushes, and as Mr. Trimen described 
the Oak Eggar (‘ Substitute,’ p. 45) 
“ tearing off down the lane, as if his life 
depended on his being at the end within 
a minute.” Bright sunny, and not too 
windy, days, are the most favourable for 
the Kentish Glory : of such days we have 
rarely many at the beginning of April. 
CllBYSOPIlANUS DiSPAR IN S'TAFEORD- 
SHIBE. 
Our readers will all remember a little 
controversy which arose in our columns 
last year upon this subject, in which an 
announcement made by Mr. Weaver was 
queried in a rather incredulous tone. 
We confess at the time we were not very 
sanguine of the truth of the new locality, 
and we have now learnt that Mr. Weaver 
had been misinformed. But the fault 
was not Mr. Weaver’s: he was misled 
(as many of us have been, and will be 
again) by wrong information ; and his 
informant (a valued correspondent of 
ours) did not deceive him wilfully, but 
was led into the error by overlooking the 
fact that he had placed a number of his 
own captures in a box in which were 
some “ Large Coppers” he had bought of 
a working man, and hence it happened 
that looking at the whole of the contents 
of the box as his own captures, ignorant 
also of the intrinsic value of C. dispar 
till afterwards pointed out, he “ felt con- 
fident,” to use his own words, “that he 
had made the capture.” Rarely is an un- 
just suspicion so completely removed as it 
has been with respect to Mr. Weaver in 
the present instance.

Argynnis Lalhonia. — At page 173 of 
the ‘ Intelligencer’ you will see my notice 
of the capture of Lalhonia , but I have 
lately found out (by seeing it in the Bri- 
tish Museum collection) that it is only 
Aglaia : it is very much like Lalhonia , 
being exactly the same size, and of a 
much lighter colour than Aglaia gene- 
rally is ; also it has no green on the 
under side of the hind wings ; and as I 
had never seen Lalhonia before, and only 
relied on the description to which I 
thought it exactly answered as to the 
time of its appearance, &c., I hope I 
shall be excused this mistake. — Har-
