Lepidopteha. 
Actehia prtscox. — I have lately ob- 
tained a fine specimen of this local 
species, which was taken on a lamp in 
the neighbourhood of Battersea and 
Wandsworth. I was not aware that the 
species was found so near London, but 
suppose that it must occur either on 
Wandsworth or Wimbledon Common. —

COLEOPTERA. 
Coleoptera at West Wickham — As I do 
not remember seeing, in the ‘ Intelli- 
gencer,’ any notice of the Coleoptera 
occurring in the above wood, 1 have 
been induced to send tbe following short 
list, from some taken there during last 
June. 
Hoplia argentea. Not uncommon. 
Phyllopertha horticola. On the 11th 
this insect swarmed ; scarcely a bush 
could be beaten without numbers falling 
in the net. On the 28th not one was to 
be seen. 
Campylus lineatus. On birches; not 
common, on account perhaps of its habit 
of falling to the ground on being dis- 
turbed. 
Cyphon lividus. Common on willows. 
Galeruca capreee. Not very common. 
Phtedon raphani. 
Dasytes caeruleus. 
Oxyporus rufus. Flying near a nest 
of Formica rufa. 
Selatasomus aeneus. Not common.
