CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteea. 
Vanessa Anliopa. — A fine specimen of 
this insect was captured here yesterday, 
and presented tome alive: it appeared 
as though just emerged from the pupa. 
— Anthony Mason, Grange, Newton-in- 
Cartmel; Sept. 25. 
Colias Edusa. — On the 18th inst., 
whilst collecting larv® of Smerinlhus 
Ocellalus on Chat Moss, I succeeded in 
taking a male specimen of Edusa, in 
good condition, — the only one that has 
has been taken here, to my knowledge. — 
J. Daniels, Lately Common, 7iear Leigh, 
Lancashire ; Sept. 22. 
Edusa and Atropos hi Northampton- 
shire. — I have taken several very fine 
male specimens of Colias Edusa and one 
of the pale female variety. I have suc- 
ceeded in rearing two fine specimens of 
Achei'ontia Atropos, following the direc- 
tions given in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ (No. 54, 
p. 13) : the larv® are rather abundant. — 
Artuuk Hensman, Spring Hill, North- 
ampton; Sept. 21. 
Deilephila Euphorbice. — In the month 
of June a little child brought me a box 
containing, as he said, “ a butlerfiy.” I, 
not recognizing the species, enquired, 
“Where did you catch it.?” “Grand- 
father caught it on the beach,” was the 
reply. The species being beautiful, and 
new to me, I set some store on it, and 
those who are better acquainted with the 
Sphingidte than myself have since in- 
formed me that the “ butterfly ” is Deile- 
phila Euphorbice : its occurrence on the 
Dorsetshire coast will no doubt prove of 
interest to the readers of the ‘ Intelli- 
gencer.’ — Mas. Payne, Chickerell, near 
Weymouth; Sept.2\. 
Sphinx Convolvuli . — This afternoon I 
saw our cat playing with a large moth j 
on taking it from her it turned out to 
be Sphinx Convolvuli, in very bad con- 
dition, after being so roughly treated by 
puss. — Richard Harrison, 1, South 
Place, Upper Grange Road, Bermondsey ; 
Sept. 22. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — A fine male spe- 
cimen of this insect was brought to me 
this morning by a friend, who found it 
on the knocker of his street-door. This 
is not the first Convolvuli that I have 
found on a knockei. — Wm. Macuin, 
35, William Street, Globe Fields, Alile 
End ; Sept. 23. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — I have captured 
six of this species in gardens, and seen 
eleven others. Agrotis Saucia is very 
common in an orchard near here. — 
Talpa, E.veter ; Sept. 24. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — A very fine male 
specimen of this insect was taken at rest 
on the sail of a barge, and is now in my 
collection. — R. Edon, “ The Fox,” Mild- 
may Road, Kingsland ; Sept. 25. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — A fine specimen 
of this insect was captured at rest on the 
ground in Goldsmith’s Row, Hackney

Entomological Society, on the morning 
of the 23rd instant. — C.Healy, 4, Bath 
Place, Haggerstone, N.E.; Sept. 25. 
Sphinx Convolvuli.— My gardener and 
I have caught twenty-six of these beauti- 
ful insects hovering over the Petunias, 
in my garden, during last week. — H. R. 
Madden, M.D., Brighton; Sept. 27. 
Sphinx Convolvuli . — On the night of 
the 24th inst. I captured a specimen of 
this insect. It was taken in a grocer’s 
shop, attracted thither, I suppose, by the 
light. — Henry Lewcock, Castle Street, 
Farnham, Suirey ; Sept. 27. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — This insect was 
captured in my garden this evening, 
at dusk, on a bed of Petunias. — Rev.

pleasure of capturing, during the past

sect, hovering principally over the flowers 
of the Petunia ; they also appear partial
