OBSERVATIONS. 
Cucullia Chamomillce. — I have bred 
four fine specimens of this insect, one on 
the 18th of January, and the others at 
different limes since. It is a curious 
time to breed them, as they have not been 
■under shelter. — G. Courtenay, Mount 
Nod Cottage, Orchard Hill, Greenwich. 
Neueoptera. 
On Coniogteryx. — I received not long 
ago, from Professor Zeller, four specimens 
of Coninpteryx, which he had taken at 
the same time on one oak bush. The 
short hind wings of two of the specimens 
struck him with surprise, so he sent the 
specimens to me, with the conjecture 
that they were the sexes of one species. 
Two are C. tineiformis and two C. pso- 
ciformis, Curt. In confirmation of Pro- 
fessor Zeller’s conjecture, I may observe 
that Curtis and Stephens always assign 
the same localities for both species, and 
the same times of appearance. On ex- 
amining the specimens in my collection, 
I find always the same localities for both •, 
both fly together in this neighbourhood, 
only, as Curtis has remarked, C. psoci- 
formis is the rarer of the two. I confess 
that Zeller’s proposition appears to me 
probably correct, but the examination of 
fresh -caught specimens should easily 
show whether, as I expect, C. tineiformis 
are always females and C. psoci/ormis 
males. An analogy occurs in Hemerobius 
dipterus, in which species it is only one 
sex that shows the abbreviated hind 
wings. What Stephens’ third species, 
C. aleyrodiformis, should be I cannot 
undertake to say. Probably the above- 
named conjecture will soon lead to its 
verification, as the insect is not scarce, 
and 1 have frequently seen it amongst 
the small fir trees in the garden at 
Mountsfield. — Dr. Hagen, Konigsberg ; 
Feb. 10, 1859. 
' a 
EXCHANGE. 
Who wants Silkworms ? — Having been 
supplied, some time since (through the 
medium of the ‘Intelligencer’), with 
some silkworm’s eggs, and having now 
more than an abundant supply, I should 
be glad to furnish those desirous of ob- 
taining some, if they will kindly send 
their address (post paid) and two postage- 
stamps for box and return postage to — 
E. W. Smith, Wilcolt Green, near Pew- 
sey, Wilts.
