THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
A. Selene to any one who may want 
them, on receipt of a box with postage 
stamps for return. If any one could 
spare me E. Cassiope, C. Porcellus, 
M. Slellatarum or E. Versicolora I 
should feel obliged. — R obert Harvey, 
4, Sussex Place, Southampton; June 30. 
Thecla W - Album. — I have been 
breeding this butterfly from larvae and 
pupae, which I got in a ramble with my 
friend Mr. Crewe, last month. They are 
fair specimens, — but no oue knows, with- 
out trying, what it is to set my little friend 
without injury to his glossy black coat. 
I have some fifty or sixty on the boards, 
and I shall probably have a few more: 
they are at the service (as far as they go) 
of any one who will help a beginner. I 
must not specify my wants, because I 
want everything that is really good; but, 
among the butterflies 1 should like to get 
good specimens of the following : — 
Colias Edusa, 
„ Hyale, 
Melitaea Artemis, 
„ Cinxia, 
Grapta C-Album, 
C. Cardui, 
H. Semele, 
E. Blandina, 
„ Cassiope, 
T. Betulce, 
T. Pruni. 
Any of the Blues (save Adonis) and of 
the Skippers, 
P. Paniscus, 
„ Comma. 
Perhaps those who can will send me 
boxes. Does any one want L. SibillaP 
I can take it in some numbers in a few 
days, where I got a good many specimens 
last year. — Rev. Herbert Bree, Wool- 
verstone, Ipswich ; July 2. 
Lcpidoptera at Plymouth. — Last Wed- 
nesday I visited Bickleigh Yale, and 
succeeded in taking M. Athalia in abun- 
dance, and also II. Dominula , E. Rus- 
sula, D. Capsincola, E. Mi and ylyphica, 
T. 'Pages and T. Alveolus ; and, amongst 
other larvae (obtained by beating into a 
sheet) one of P. Trepida. On '1 hursday 
a beautifully perfect male specimen ol 
D. Chaonia was brought to me, taken at 
a gas-lamp the night before. I have a 
large number of L. Trifolii, both larvae 
and pupae, in my breeding-cages. Does 
any one want this? I should be very 
glad to receive from any collector who 
has them to spare, either eggs or larvae 
of Trepida, Dodontea, Chaonia, Plumi- 
gera or Versicolora, as I am anxious 
to breed those fine insects. — E. Leth- 
bridge, 40, Old Town Street, Plymouth ; 
June 29. 
Aporia Cratcegi. — I have observed this 
here in profusion, and have (without a 
net) caught six specimens. I was just 
too late lor the pupae : I found the empty 
pupa-skins on a paling under an apple- 
tree. — Francis Latch more, 75, High 
Street, Slrood, Kent; July 1. 
Captures near Ashford. — On the 27th 
I took on Westwell Downs three of the 
large Fritillaries, viz. Paphia (3), Adippe 
(7), and Aglaia (6), in splendid condi- 
tion, as well as fifteen of Arge Galathea. 
— A. Russeel, Ashford, Kent ; June 30. 
Nepticula Poterii. — Having bred the 
Nepticula from the Poterium Sangui- 
sorba\ 1 find it is a new species, with 
brownish anterior wings (violet at the 
tip), with a broad pale fascia: it is some- 
what intermediate in appearance between 
Pluyicolella and Microtheriella. I pro- 
pose for it the above name. — H. T. 
Sta inton ; July 3. 
Grapta C-album. — I had the pleasure 
of capturing a specimen of this insect at 
Coombe Hurst last summer; seeing it 
mentioned in the ‘Manual’ that it does 
not occur in the south-eastern counties, 
I thought this might be useful to ento- 
mologists. — George Morley, Pleasant 
How, Wellington Street, Camberwell ; 
July 4. 
S tig mono ta Puncticoslana. — 1 cap- 
tured a fine specimen of this species 
flying round some young oaks near
