THE ENTOMOLOGISTS WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Laverna Phragmitella. — In a box of 
insects which Mr. Allis lately received 
from the fens were two fine specimens 
of this rarity. — H. T. SiaINTOn ;

Lepidoptera near Chatham. — During 
the last week I have made a couple of 
excursions to the woods near this, and 
have been so successful as to have cap- 
tured Theda W-album in considerable 
abundance, also L. Sibylla and V. Poly- 
chloros. On both occasions every place 
swarmed with A. Galathea and P. Tinea, 
and I observed T. Quercus flying round 
the tops of the oaks. I had the pleasure 
of seeing A. Iris very often, and was for- 
tunate enough to capture the first speci- 
men I ever saw alive, as his majesty was 
flying low along the ground. The next 
day, having extemporized an Emperor 
net, I got two more specimens, and also 
saw seven taken by a professional col- 
lector. I am at present breeding C. Cas- 
trensis freely, and hope to be able, at the 
end of the season, to supply those in 
want of the species. C. Castrcnsis seems 
to be very lazy in constructing its cocoon, 
as many went into the crysalis state 
without constructing any at all, and on 
several occasions three or four united 
their efforts to make a large one, in 
which the pupa; were placed without any 
intervening web. — Lieut. Henry D.

Captures at Wandsworth. — The result 
of one night’s sport on Wandsworth 
Common may not be uninteresting to 
some of the readers of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Leiocampa Dictseoides, 
Sinerinthus Ocellatus, 
Pygeera Bucephala, 
Onrapleryx sambucaria,

— A. Galloway, 20, Lavender Road, 
Battersea, Surrey, S.W. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have a few 
lint; sj ecimens of the following to spare 
(taken this season) that may be of use to 
some of your readers: — A. Galathea , 
T. Balis, T. derasa, Hydroeampa nym- 
phcealis, Zerene albicillaria . — William 
Rodgers, Moorgate Grove, Rotherham ; 
July 20. 
Trochilium Myopceforme. — I have an- 
nually, for some time past, takeu a few 
specimens of this insect in the garden 
here, but never observed anything like 
the number which have appeared this 
season, upwards of fifty having been 
taken during the last three days. — T. 
Wildman, Grove Place, Camberwell; 
July 21. 
Thecla W- Alburn. — Some of your 
readers may be interested to hear that 
this insect occurs at Wembley. I met 
with it on the 18th inst., in the lane 
about half a mile from the Sudbury and 
Wembley Station of the North-Western 
Railway. Polychloros is very common 
just now about the same locality, espe- 
cially towards Apperton. — J. R. Hind, 
22, Grove Road, St. John's Wood; 
July 20. 
Zeuzera JEsculi. — On the 8th inst. I 
captured a fine specimen of this insect at 
rest on a post near Hornsey. — H. Arts, 
149, St.John Street, West Smithfield ; 
July 20. 
Nemotois fasciellus. — On the 14th inst. 
I found two specimens of this rarity on 
the flowers of a dwarf umbelliferous plant 
at Darenth. The spot is about a hundred 
yards from the “Fox and Hounds,” at 
the side of the high road, close to some 
logs of wood. Cleodora Cylisella was 
abundant in the woods on fern ( Pteris ), 
and fern only. — J.W. Douglas, Lee; 
July 18. 
CoLEOPTEHA. 
Ludius Ferruginous. — Having just 
bred three specimens of the above rare 
beetle, which arc now alive, and having 
my set made up, I shall be glad to ex- 
change for small mounted, named Co-
