THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
C. Glabraria. Owing to domestic 
affliction Mr. T. Armstrong is un- 
willing to continue his remarks at 
present on C. Glabraria but he in- 
tends to refer to this subject at some 
future period. 
CAPTURES. 
COLEOPTERA. 
Omalium primula and Har pains 
azureus . — I met with a fine series, in 
cop. of Omalium primula in the cap- 
sules of the common Primrose, but 
they are very local. I have searched 
hundreds of beads and only found 
them on a small patch. I have 
taken several other minute Coleoptera 
which I do not recognise. Among 
the larger species I met with ILarpa- 
lus azureus, at the same time that I 
was on the high rocks of Buckner’s 
Crag. — J. B. Hodgkinson, Wither -

Lepidoptera. 
Captures near London. The follow- 
ing is my list of doings up to the pres- 
ent time (April 13th.) On the 14th. 
of March, in Epping Forest, I ob- 
tained at sugar a few Munda, and, on 
the wing 2 L Multistrigaria. A 
fortnight afterwards, in company 
with Mr. Keays, in Epping Forest, 
in addition to Munda, we each ob- 
tained one Miniosa. 
The evening of Good Friday was 
the best I have had for a long time. 
I was at Croydon, where I sugared, 
and tried the Sallows as well, which 
produced 3 T. Leucographa, 1 T. 
Opirna, 1 Miniosa, 1 Munda, 1 S. 
Croceago etc, while the sugar produ- 
ced 1 'T. Gracilis and another Mun- 
da ; — in fact, this evening, I obtained 
all the Taniocampa except Populeti f 
and with the net I captured S. Dubitata 
S. lllunaria etc, w r hile the sweeping 
net turned out about a hundred larvae 
of which, however', I only recorgni- 
sed Fimbria as being at all good. 
Cerago larvae were very plentiful. 
On the 9th, — again at Croydon, — I 
obtained Croceago, Miniosa, Opima 
(2) Munda and two more Leucographa, 
besides larvae, as before ; this evening 
also, being late for the train I had 
the pleasure of walking to London, — 
and the Northern parr of it too. W.
