THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Margaritia Angustalis. — I met with 
this species in a meadow near Maltby 
Woods. — J. Batty, 133, South Street, 
Park, Sheffield; June 10. 
Tinagma resplcndetlum bred. — This 
morning, to my great delight, a specimen 
of this insect appeared from the “ singular 
mine on alder leaves,” Enigma, No. 22. 
Ought not the larvae of T. sericiellum to 
feed similarly in oak leaves? — H. T. 
Stainton; June 17. 
Nepticula eryptella. — There is a 
mystery about this insect I cannot 
understand. Last year (duly 19 — 21) 
I collected the larvte in Headley Lane 
abundantly, and expected to have bred 
the insect in August ; none appeared, but 
this year, on the 1 6/A of May, one made 
its appearance. Frey gives July and 
end of September as the periods for 
finding the larva;. The summer brood 
is, 1 expect, now fiudable, and will no 
doubt be well looked fur. May the 
finders be more successful in rearing it 
than I have been. — Ibid. 
Procris Statices. — Having taken seve- 
ral of this insect in the marshes round 
here, I shall be happy to supply any one 
in want of the species, on receipt of a 
box and stamps for the transmission. 
I have also a great many young larvce 
of Saturnia Pavonia- Minor ; if they are 
of use to any of your readers, I will 
gladly supply them. — R. D. Taylor, 
4, Alpha Collages, New Road, Hammer- 
smith ; June 17. 
Acronyeta Alni. — This lovely species 
(quite a favorite of mine) appeared on 
the 29th of May in my breeding-cage. 
Those who wish to breed this species 
should supply the full-fed larva with a 
piece of rotten wood for it to spin up in. 
— F. O. Sxandish, 2, Alfred Cottages, 
Warner Road, Camberwell; June 17. 
Phoxopteryx Upugana. — Several days 
ago I met with this species at West 
Wickham Wood. Ibid. 
A Visit to the Cheshire Sand-hills . — 
Being in Liverpool, Mr. Gregson proposed 
1 should visit the sand-hills on the other 
side of the Mersey ; we did so, and in a 
short time obtained several good species, 
both in Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. By 
searching the burrows made by a species 
of Brachelytra (perhaps new), we took 
one dozen Dyschirius impunctipennis in 
balf-an-hour. By “raking” the sand- 
hills we took larvae of Leucania litloralis, 
Luperina cespilis, Cerigo cytherea, and 
the imago of Luperina albicolon , also 
Rhodaria Sanyuinalis. — J. J. Reading ; 
June 17. 
Butterflies wanted. — If any person who 
has too many of any, or all of the three 
following butterllies, viz., !\ Machaon, 
A. Iris and P. Adonis, he would find a 
purchaser in the undersigned by letting 
him know. None but perfect insects 
will be acceptable. — David Mom, F. C.
