THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 165 
G. H. A. — The case-bearer on the star- 
grass appears to have been the larva of 
Coleophora murinipennella, now known 
to feed on Luzula. Thanks for your 
communications. 
A. W. — Letter on Diaries next week. 
J. B. C. — Have you seen Smith’s 
‘ Catalogue of British Hymenoptera ? ’ 
Price 6s. (See ‘ Entomologist’s Annual,’ 
1856, pp. 139 — 146). You will never 
regret buying it. 
R. H. F. — The black pistol-shaped 
cases are common; they are those of 
Coleophora anatipennella. 
CAPTURES. 
Neuropteea. 
Neuroplera at Ranworth . — The under- 
mentioned were collected chiefly in the 
Fens, and have been made out, as well 
as I can, from Dr. Hagen’s papers. I 
have not given the attention to the sub- 
ject which I had proposed, as my offer 
in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ last year, only 
produced me one good correspondeut in 
the study of these splendid insects.

Neuroptera near Brighton. — The fol- 
lowing is a very imperfect list, but it is 
rare to see a local list of Neuroptera in 
the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Libellula depressa. Abundant at Bur- 
gess Hill, 1857 and 1858; at Ditchling 
Road, in June and July, 1858. 
L. striolata. Race Hill in autumn, 
1858. 
L. Scotica. Do. ; common. 
.Eschna cyanea. Common at Burgess 
Hill, July and August, 1858. 
Calopteryx virgo. Near Burgess Hill, 
June, 1857. 
Lestes fusca (?). Burgess Hill, 1858. 
I think it is L. fusca ; the characters 
cannot well be mistaken, — fusca being 
the only brown Lestes. 
Agrion minium. Common at Burgess 
Hill, occurring from April to J une (?). 
A. puella. Abundant at Burgess Hill 
in June and July. 
Chrysopa vulgaris. Abundant in the 
gardens of Brighton, June and July, 
1858. 
C. abbreviata. Common in gardens, 
June, 1858. 
Ephemera vulgata. Burgess Hill, 
June, 1857.— W. F. Kirby, St. Peter's 
House, Brighton. 
Dragonflies near Bristol. — The fol- 
lowing list of dragonflies taken by me in 
the neighbourhood of Bristol, during the 
season of 1858, may perhaps interest some 
of the readers of the ‘ Intelligencer’ who 
collect Neuroptera. 
Libellula quadrimaculata. Common.
