TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
E. W. B. — Hydradephaga includes 
the families Dyticidce and Gyrinidce : 
Philhydrida includes Hydrophilidce and 
other families. The characters of all 
these are given in Stephens’s ‘Manual 
of British Beetles,’ to which we must, 
for want of space, refer you. 
C. H. — The case-bearers sent are Co- 
leophora lineola : the plant is Ballota 
nigra. 
E. W. — You should never know whe- 
ther your pupee are dead or not, because 
you should never handle them. Di- 
rections for keeping them properly will 
be found in the ‘ Substitute.’ 
Ebrata. — Page 43, line 17, for “ ob- 
tained” read “observed;” line 27, for 
“ them” read “ three.” Page 46, in the

COMMUNICATIONS. 
Lepidoptera. 
Calendar of Lepidoptera. — In answer 
to your correspondent’s note on the 
above, I may say that I have been pre- 
paring a “Calendar” for my own use, 
and find it very useful. I have followed 
the plan adopted by Mr. Stainton in his 
‘ Entomologist’s Companion,’ at pp. 
8 — 23, adding another column for each 
month of the larva and imago. If your 
correspondent will publish such a Calen- 
dar, I think it would prove useful to 
many. I shall be happy to become a 
subscriber if the figure is not too large. 
— W. C. Turner, Bermondsey Square; 
May 5, 1857. 
A New Bait for Moths. — While at the 
sallows one evening lately, I observed ou 
a birch tree a moth engaged iu supping 
on the juice which exudes from the 
young buds, and, on further examina- 
tion, my friend Mr. D. P. Morison 
and myself had the pleasure of cap- 
turing more. — Francis B. W. White, 
2, Athole Place, Perth; May 5, 1857. 
A Neiu Gelecliia Larva. — On the 2nd 
inst. I found among clover, on the slope 
of one of the hills near Zurich, a cater- 
pillar which was quite new to me. It had 
some slight resemblance to the larva of 
G. rufescens, and was excessively active 
(as I found to my cost, nearly all that I 
collected having made their escape before 
I got home). It feeds between united 
leaves, after the style of Gelechia tcenio- 
lella. Professor Frey, to whom the larva 
was likewise new, told me that in that 
locality he had frequently taken the per- 
fect insect of G. Coronillella , and sug- 
gested that this might be the larva of 
that species. — H. T. Stainton, Lucerne ; 
May 5, 1857. 
Notodonta Carmelita. — I have bred a 
male and a female specimen of this Bom- 
byx from two eggs kindly sent me by 
Mr. Stevens last year. The first emerged
