THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
pupaa. Myself and Mr. W. Green had 
the pleasure of taking several larvae in 
May, which we fed up, and have now 
sixteen perfect insects. I am glad to 
say we know well where the larvae can be 
obtained, and shall take care to secure a 
good stock next spring. — W. H. Smith, 
Eccleshall New Road, Sheffield. 
Larva of Eupiihecia Helveticaria . — 
This must be distinct from E. Arceulhata, 
if Gueuee’s description of the larva of the 
latter is correct. In the larva of Ilelveli- 
earia the pale yellowish while subdorsal 
line is particularly prominent. — A. Wil- 
son, 18, Young St., Edinburgh ; Sept 29. 
Coleophora Leucapcnnella. — As the 
food-plant of this insect is Silene nutans 
(the Nottingham catchfly), and that plant 
is not of general distribution, Mr. Inch- 
bald has sent me a note of some of the 
habitats of the plant. “ All the specimens 
I have seen are from Nottingham ; in a 
Flora of Yorkshire I have by me I see I 
diave written ‘Conisbro” in the margin, 
but whether I have had the plant from a 
garden or from an apparently wild habitat 
does not appear. One thing is quite 
certain, — it grows exclusively on the 
limestone, and wherever we have the 
magnesian limestone there S. nutans may 
be looked for, whether really wild or only 
escaped from a garden.” This may be of 
use to some of the Northern Micro-Lepi- 
dopterists. Silene nutans, it should be 
remembered, is the food-plant of Dian- 
ihaxia albimacula, an insect generally 
considered rare in this country. — H. T. 
SiAiNTON ; Sept. 24.
