THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Epunda lichenea, 
Calocampa vetusta, 
Anarta Myrtilli, 
Brephos Notha. 
— George Gascoyne, Newark; June 1, 
1857. 
Duplicate Larvce. — I have a consider- 
able number of larvae of Lasiocampa 
Trifolii and Clisiocampa Neustria, 
which I shall be happy to send to any 
one in want of them, stipulating that 
parties sending for them pay the postage 
and send a box. — Charles Rogers, 11, 
St. Andrews Street , Plymouth ; June 1 , 
1857. 
Captures near York. — I have just re- 
turned from an interesting expedition 
that I and some others have had in pur- 
suit of Lepidoptera. I set off early in 
the morning for Langwith Common, to- 
gether with two other friends, and 
when we arrived there we found that we 
were not the first on the hunting-ground, 
for there we encountered a party of five 
others who, together with ourselves, con- 
stituted eight, making in all a rather for- 
midable array. In the morning we were 
employed with Thecla Rubi, and amongst 
us we caught nineteen of that species, 
together with others of Argynnis Eu- 
phrosyne, <Scc. In the afternoon we 
turned our attention towards Sesia Bom- 
byliformis, and by five o’clock had 
managed to net no less than thirty. 
From five until seven o’clock we were 
engaged with Lasiocampa Rubi, which, 
in consequence of their quick and rapid 
flight, are rather difficult to catch ; but 
notwithstanding this, and the tired state 
we were in, we caught twenty-eight of 
that species. — Robert Anderson, St. 
Martin s-le-Grand, Coney Street, York ; 
June 1, 1857. 
Deilephila Galii.—O^ May 25th on 
going to my chrysaas-box I had the 
pleasure of finding a beautiful specimen 
of D. Galii, from a larva found on the 
Dyke Road last year. — J. R. Griffith, 
Brighton College; June 2, 1857. 
Offer to Catch Geometridce. — The fol- 
lowing moths tvere very plentiful last 
year ; and as such may occur this season, 
those who require any of them had better 
drop me a line, naming, at the same 
time, how many constitutes their series, 
or forward a list : — Melanthia Rivaiia, 
M. Amnicularia, Harpalyce Picaria, H. 
Galiaria, Anliclea Rubidaria. If I can 
turn up Pamphila Actceon , at Sidmouth, 
it shall cease to be a desidei’ata to many. 
I also took, sparingly, Macaria Alterna- 
ria and Anliclea Sinuaria, but mistook 
the former for notataria, or I should have 
endeavoured to take more of what I be- 
lieve to be one of the rarest Geometrw. 
I much want a pair of Harpalyce Sagit- 
taria ; aud as this month is named in 
Wood’s Index as the time of its appear- 
ance, any entomologist, near the fens, 
would much oblige by saving me what I 
require. Also a few eggs of any of the 
Nolodonlidw (except Camelina, dictcea, 
drornedarius, ziczac, trepida, Dodoncea 
and plumigera ), will receive my thanks and 
best efforts to supply any of the senders’ 
desiderata. — E. S. Norcombe, 5, Salu- 
tary Mount, Heavitree, Exeter ; May 8, 
1857. 
Offer to Catch Butterflies. — I cau take 
N. Lucina, P. Argiolus, T. Alveolus aud 
T. Pages, for those who still want them, 
if they will let me know, but will not un- 
dertake to set them. I shall be much 
obliged to any one who can spare me 
good specimens of any of the following : 
— L. Sinapis, T. Bctulcc, J'. W-album , P. 
Artaxerxes, L. Sibylla, M. Cinxia, V. 
Cardui, A. Iris, S. Semele, S. Paniscus, 
P. Comma. — Rev. Hugh A. Stowell, 
Faversham ; May 22, 1857. 
Pier is Brassiere and P. Napi. — There 
is a difference in the marking of the 
pupae of the male and female of Pieris 
Brassica; ; the female has more numerous 
and darker spots, the general shade of 
the pupae being paler than the male. A 
like difference I observe in markings 
and colour of P. Napi. — Rev. C. II.
