THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

I always provide the man who lights the 
lamps round our neighbourhood with 
pill-boxes, and, after a little patience, I 
have instructed him in the mystery of 
taking them without injury. Amongst 
the many he brings me, in their various 
seasons, I may men lion the following : — 
L.griseola, T. Cratcegi, P. Populi, P.cas- 
sinea, N. dictcea and dictceoides, Tccnio- 
campa Populeli, Tethea subtusa, Sp'dodes 
cinctalis , Ennomos illuslraria , lunaria, 
angularia, fuscantaria , liliaria, &c., &c. 
I was delighted this morning by his 
bringing me a female Fuscantaria , from 
which I hope to breed a fine family. — ■ 
Arthur Naish, Brooklyn Lodge , Ashley 
Hill , Bristol; August 21. 
Dictcea double-brooded. — Last spring I 
had two female N. dictcea, which laid a 
fine lot of eggs; these appeared in the 
imago state the beginning of this month, 
not one pupa being left to bear out the 
theory that they are single-brooded ; I 
have now the grand-children feeding, 
which no doubt will produce finer iusects 
in the spring than the autumn brood. — 
I BID. 
Gracilaria limosella bred. — This insect, 
which much resembles a small Tringi- 
pennella has been bred by Professor Frey 
from leaves of Teucrium Chameedrys ; 
the mine of the larva is very similar to 
that of a Lithocolletis. — H. T. Stainton ; 
August 25. 
Larvce of Lepidoplera solicited. — Will 
you allow me, through the medium of 
the ‘ Weekly Intelligencer,’ to ask my 
brother entomologists to forward me any 
larvffi they may find. I am extremely 
anxious to illustrate our British larvae: 
a moment’s consideration will show how 
perfectly impossible it is for one pair of 
hands, and in one locality, to make any- 
thing like a collection : there are southern 
insects and northern insects, many ex- 
tremely local. Should any feel inclined 
to help me, I shall be most happy to for- 
ward my list to show what larva we have 
copied. — Captain Cox; August 24. 
Colias Edusa, fyc. — On Thursday last, 
the 13th inst., I took a female specimen 
of this insect, in good condition, at an 
uudercliff on this coast, and soon after- 
wards saw another Edusa and one Hyale 
at ihe same place. The latter narrowly 
escaped death cum comite, and, as it was, 
he let us make sure that he was, in truth, 
Hyale, but, without permitting a closer 
acquaintance, disappeared forthwith in a 
magnificent sweep over the top of the 
cliff. — A. Pretor, Wyke House, near 
Weymouth ; August 15. 
Heliothis Armigera . — I have captured 
here a specimen of this rare Noci.ua, 
flying among sea-fluwers early in the 
evening. — Edward Smith, Siclmouth, 
South Devon ; August 24. 
Colias Hyale and Edusa. — These have 
occurred within the last few days in 
many additional localities. The former 
has been taken at Charlton, and the latter 
on Shooter’s Hill. Hyale has also been 
met with at Dover and at Wisbech. — 
H. T. Stainton; August 26. 
Neuroptera. 
Libellula quadrimaculata. — Having 
been lately very successful in taking 
Libellula quadrimaculata on the moss 
near this town, I should be happy to ex- 
change with any entomologist who col- 
lects all the ortlers for good specimens (in 
the Coleoptera) of Lamia cedilis,nebulosa 
and oculata, Sapercla lineato-collis, Rha- 
gixim vulgare, Buprestis bigutta or Elater 
ferruginous; (in the Lepidoptera) of Me- 
litcea Euphrosyne, N. Lucina, Argynnis 
Paphia and Aclippe, Vanessa Cardui and 
C -album, Theda Quercus and Rubi or 
S. Ligustri . — R. Tyrer, jun., Row Lane, 
Southport, Lancashire . 
Orthoptera. 
A Locust . — A specimen of the Euro- 
pean locust ( Gryllus migratorius ) was 
brought to me this evening: it was 
caught in the harvest field near here. 
It is some years since I have seen this
