THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

P. Sylvanus, 
„ Linea, 
Trochilium Scolia 2 forme, 
and hosts of commoner species of all 
orders. Aglaia is just fresh from the 
chrysalis, and swarms ; I took eighty in 
about two hours, without moving beyond 
a yard or two. I shall be glad to ex- 
change unset specimens for Leucopliasia 
Sinapis, Tkecla W. album, Pamphila Ac- 
tion or paniscus, or Erebia Blandina . —

Sphinx Ligustri. — Having a few fine 
larvae to spare, I shall feel much pleasure 
in sending some to any entomologist who 
may be in want of them. I can also 
spare some larvae of Euchelia Jacobcece, 
provided a box be sent with return 
postage. Any of the following will be 
thankfully received : — Macroglossa Stel- 
latarum, Chcerocampa Porcellus, Snierin- 
thus Tilice, Callimorpha dominula, Sa- 
turnia Carpini, Lasiocampa Quercus, 
Zeuzera AEsculi, or any of the Fritil- 
laries. — E. Boscher, 3, Prospect Villas, 
Twickenham ; July 21. 
Captures in Sussex. — I send you a list 
of captures (the result of one day in 
Sussex); perhaps it may prove inte- 
resting to your readers. 
A. Iris (36), 
Y. Polychloros (3), 
A. Adippe (11), 
H. Hyperanthus (13), 
„ Semele (14), 
P. iEgon (21), 
L. Sinapis (l). 
I have no duplicates, having distributed 
them amongst my friends. All the above 
were taken on the 14th inst. — E. T. Sil- 
vester and VV. Edwards , Pound Hill, 
Worth, Sussex; July 21. 
Apatura Iris. — On the 18th inst. I 
captured two males of this insect in fine 
condition, — one from the head of a dead 
cat nailed to a lodge in the wood, the 
other on the oak, — with a net at the end 
of a pole 25 feet long, and, owing to my 
awkwardness in using the same, I lost 
three others in bringing them to the 
ground. — A. Russell, Ashford, Kent; 
July 21. 
Captures near Chesham. — I have been 
taking V. Polychloros and P. Linea very 
freely in the last few days, and shall be 
most happy to send them to any one 
who wants them, on receipt of a box 
with return postage, until the 28th of 
August, when I leave here for St. 
Leonards. P. Comma is also common, 
and on the 20th of July I netted a 
T. W-album, but lost it again by my 
being in too great a hurry to pin it. 
L. Chrysorrhoea does not seem scarce 
here, for I have taken it almost as freely 
as its common congener Auriflua. The 
applicants for S. Salicis whom I have not 
answered shall receive due attention on 
my return to London in September. — 
Hardinge YV. Browne, Little Germains, 
near Chesham, Bucks ; July 21. 
A new British Gelechia. — As a sort of 
postscript to your remarks last week on 
“Marsh Insects,” I send you the name 
of a moth, new to our list, which feeds on 
one of the large Carices (riparia P), which 
grows on our river banks : the moth is 
Gelechia Arundinetella, aqd is a small 
brown, insignificant insect, with few and 
indistinct markings. The larva, when 
young, feeds like an E la c h is ta, mining up 
and down the leaves: as it grows older it 
quits the first leaf and enters another, 
and sometimes a third, but spends the 
greater part of its life in the last one, of 
which it eats a large portion, and in 
which it spins its cocoon and changes to 
a pupa. I first found the larva on the 
4th of April, 1855, hut could not then 
rear it, from the difficulty of moving a 
mining larva to fresh food often enough, 
but one of them reached the pupa state, 
and was, I believe, injured by my igno- 
rance of its habit of making its cocoon 
inside the leaf. Last year I was unable to 
look after it, and this year, by going for 
it at the end of May and the beginning
