132 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
the pupa inside full of small Ian'® of the 
Ichneumon : the ichneumoned pup® of 
C. Ffttw/a, which I have noticed, had not 
the small hole in the cocoon. 
N. Dromedarius. P. 
P. Palpina. $ at light. 
D. Cbaouia. P. 
D. Dodonsa. P. 
L. Cucullina. P. 
P. Cassinea. $ at light ; also L., but 
I lost part of my stock by the jaws of the 
cannibal larv® of Trapezina and Satel- 
lilia. 
P. Trepida. L. and P. 
Q. Quadra. 
P. Populi. $ and J at light, and P. 
T. Crat®gi. L. 
D. Hamula. $ at light. 
C. Duplaris. 
A. Liguslri. P. 
N. Fulva. At light. 
N. Typh®. At light, and “ mothing.” 
H. Popularis. At light; a most beau- 
tiful 9 (with dark under wings) ; she 
quickly laid a great many eggs (Sept. 8, 
1858), which also quickly changed colour, 
and I hope the larv® inside are still 
“ quick,” but none have been hatched up 
to this time. 
M. Persicari®. P. 
A. Valligera. L. 
A. Aquilina. L. Both this and the 
preceding species I found at the roots of 
various plants on sand-hills. 
A. Saucia. At sugar. Many of the 
specimens exceed the dimensions (1" 1"') 
given in the ‘ Manual ; ’ some equal 
A. Suffusa in expanse of wings. 
A. Pr®cox. At rest under broad-leaved 
plants on sand. In April, 1858, I found 
on the sand-hills hundreds of a yellow 
Ichneumon, which Mr. Desvigncs, in 
answer to my enquiry, courteously in- 
formed me preys on the larva of this 
species ; but though its enemy was thus 
abundant, the larva itself I could not 
find. N.B. — Is it only want of ex- 
perience that makes me fancy that the 
larv® of Agrolis arc more distinctly 
marked when young than when full 
fed .p 
N. Brunnea. P. 
T. Piniperda. At sallows. 
Rubricosa. Do. 
Populeti. Do. 
Miniosa. Do. 
O. Macilenta. At ivy. 
H. Croceago. At sallows. 
C. Diffinis. P. 
D. Cucubali. L. Having found these 
larv® when young in the seed-pods of 
Silene ivfaUi, I thought that as they 
grew older they would eat the seeds, but 
am now afraid that I have paid dearly for 
not supplying them with green leaves. 
X. Petrificata. At sallows. 
A. Piunaria. $ much scarcer than $ . 
E. Fasciaria. $ by beating. 
S. Lunaria. L. when spinning up. 
Illustraria. Imago and L. 
E. Fuscautaria. At light. 
Erosaria. L. much scarcer than 
next species. 
E. Angularia. At light. 
P. Cytisavia. L. ; having previously 
seen only faded specimens, I was aston- 
ished at the deep blue-green of those 
I bred. 
G. Papilionaria. At light, and L. The 
half-grown larva narrowly escaped being 
thrown away, so much did it when at 
rest resemble the male catkin of the 
birch, from its yellowish green tint, and 
its back rough with j)rotuberances, and 
dashed with a purple bloom. 
P. Bajularia. $. 
E. Omicronaria. Imago and L. 
A. Candidata. By beating. 
Sylvata. 
A. Scutulata. By beating. 
Subsericeata. Do. 
M. Alternata (?). This differs so 
slightly from M. Notala, sent me out of 
Kent, that, as you arc already aware, 1 
am doubtful about its being rightly 
named. I should be glad to see a de- 
scrii)tion of the larva of M. I^oUUa from 
the pen of a British entomologist.
