nice, but immediately he wanted to 
have it himself.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
H. A. S.— The red acarus (which, by 
the way, had left the Galathea before 
that nymph reached us) is very common 
on that insect, and on several others. It 
certainly affects particular species. 
H. Z., Jun. — You are quite correct as 
to the nature of the parasols your larvae 
used to keep off the direct rays of the 
sun. It is the larva of a Tortoise beetle 
( Cassida ). See Kirby and Spence, cheap 
edition, p. 426, for a notice of this “ ster- 
corarious parasol.” 
W. B., Cambridge. — Perhaps Scy- 
thropia Cratcegella , but if so you must be 
a bad hand at counting legs, as it has 
sixteen in all. 
D. M., Banchory. — 1 , Coremia mon- 
tanaria ; 2, Camptogramma bilineata ; 
3, Campcea margarilata. We believe 
Emperors will eat strawberry, raspberry, 
hawthorn, &c. The female of C.pusaria 
has the antennae simple. 
F. O. R. — Trichiosoma lucorum ; see 
its speech at the “ Meeting of Saw- 
flies.” 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Lepidoftera. 
Apatura Tris (The Purple Emperor). — 
On the 9th inst., whilst engaged (with ray 
friends Mr. Buckler and Mr. Duke) in 
the capture of L. Sibylla, I saw a fine 
Emperor sailing round some low oak 
trees, and, on catching it, it proved to 
be a female (!), fresh from the chrysalis, 
and rather a variety, for the greater part 
of the markings, which are usually white, 
were of a decided buff-colour, with the 
exception of the small dash at the ex- 
tremity of the fore-wings, which was 
pure white. We saw another the fol- 
lowing day. — W. H. Draper, Chichester ; 
July 13.
