Lepidoptera. 
Coleophora Larva . — The larvae of Co- 
leophora Alcyonipennella and C. troglody- 
tella are still to be found feeding on their 
respective food-plants, Centaurea nigra 
and Eupatoria Cannabinum. As similar 
information would have profited me last 
year, I may mention that, without a single 
exception, I have found the larvae of Al- 
cyonipennella only on plants within a 
wood, or sheltered by bushy hedges. The 
same remark applies to troglodylella, with 
the exception of one or two solitary spe- 
cimens, and these were sheltered by an 
overhanging cliff. — Rev. S. C. Tress 
Beale, Alkham , Dover ; June 27. 
Papilio Machaon. — I have a large 
series of Papilio Machaon , which I shall 
be glad to exchange with those who want 
it. I have taken a good number of Co- 
remia Ligustraria in good condition, and 
more females than usual. I have a series 
of Pterophorus Galacto-dactylus, if any 
one wants it in exchange. I have bred 
one Ceropacha Ocularis, and taken another 
at sugar : I am sorry I cannot yet “ make 
it plentiful.” I am breeding O. Fascelina, 
C. Vernaria, N. Dromedarius, Heliothis 
Marginata, Geometra Papilionana , Eu- 
pilhecia Linaria, all sparingly, and I am 
taking with the net Chesias Obliquaria. 
Sugar has given me nothing lately, ex- 
cept the commoner Noctua, with the 
exception of the Ocularis above men- 
tioned. — C. R. Bree, Stricklands, Stow, 
market. 
Eriogaster Lanestris. — Having more 
larvae of this than I require, T shall be 
glad to send them to any one that ap- 
plies for them, providing they send a box 
and pay postage. — W. Talbot, Mount 
Pleasant, Wakefield ; June 30. 
Ccenonympha Davus has made its ap- 
pearance on the heaths and mosses in 
the vicinity of Paisley, and is unusually 
abundant. On the 27th I captured up- 
wards of seventy specimens. Does any 
Lepidopterist want it? — M. Young, Old 
Sneddon Street, Paisley ; June 29. 
Captures in Epping Forest. — I took last 
Tuesday, in Epping Forest, a beautiful 
male Orgyia gonostigma. I have lately 
taken there four Melitcea Artemis and 
one M. Alhalia, ike. — Ridley Tyssen, 
Manor House, Haclcney ; June 26. 
Stilpnolia Salicis. — Having taken the 
pupae and perfect insects of this species 
in some plenty at Reading, I shall be 
happy to send either to any who may 
want them, on receiving a box with re- 
turn postage. — Hardinge W. Browne, 
1, Westbourne Street, Hyde Park Gar- 
dens, IV. ; June 30. 
Polia Chi. — I shall be glad to supply 
any southern Lepidopterist, by the be- 
ginning of August, with fine specimens 
of the above species, if they would have 
the goodness to state the number of spe- 
cimens they require for a series. I should 
be glad of any of the following in good 
condition : — M. furuncula and literosa, 
C. Haworthii, D. Carpophaga , A. tincta 
and advena, T. extersaria, C. Olivuria, 
A. derivaria, II. Silacearia, S. Rhamnaria 
and vetularia, E. undularia , E. Blan- 
diaria and S. dealbaria. — W. Rodgers, 
Gardener, Moorgate Grove, Rotherham ; 
June 30. 
Slauropus Fagi . — I have captured a 
fine male specimen of this rare insect at 
rest on a lamp here. — E dwin Davis, 
Stapleton Road, Bristol ; June 30. 
Plusia Interrogationis. — I have cap- 
tured a few dozens of this insect near 
Preston, and I shall be most happy to 
exchange for any of the following spe- 
cies: — Melitcea Athalia, Speranza con- 
spicuaria, Coremia Ligustraria, Spilonota 
Neglectana, Agrotis Saucia. — T. R. Pugh, 
3, Glover Street, Preston; June 30. 
Aporia Cratcegi . — I took this insect 
somewhat plentifully iu the New Forest 
last week. I shall be happy to send 
duplicates of Cratcegi, A. Adippe and
