Neuroptera. 
Ephemera glaucops. I have met 
with this species twice, but only the 
female sub-imago ; two individuals 
at Wharmton several years ago, 
and one only this year, in the Bollin 
valley. 
Most of the British Ephemeridce 
may he set on card with advantage 
every way ; and if the setce are 
curved, the outer ones in the direct- 
ion of the wings, and the middle 
one, when present, curved over one 
of- the outer, they need not take up 
so much room. I have Potaman- 
thus fuscus, male, with perfect wings 
and setce on a card measuring very 
little over half an inch square. — •

Lepidoptera. 
Captures in 1863. — Tour request 
that entomologists will furnish some 
report of their doings, induces me 
to send the following list — it is a 
very meagre one, but I really have 
scarcely made any attempt at collect- 
ing this season, and I hope some of 
my more industrious neighbours may 
send you a supplementary list. 
Saturnia Carpini. Several bred 
during May from larvae taken at 
Killarney last June, feeding on 
Myrica Gale. The moths are, (con- 
trary to what I have observed of 
Irish insects generally) lighter in 
color than ordinary English speci- 
mens, and the central patch consider- 
ably larger. 
Cerura Vinula, A cocoon, found 
at Crosby, produced this moth, 
June 1st. The cocoon was the size 
and shape of Lasiocampa Quercus ; 
and it was attached to a branch of 
the dwarf sallow, not an eighth of 
an inch in diameter, and mainly 
composed of agglutinated particles 
of sand. I mention it as showing 
how insects are able to adapt them- 
selves to varying circumstances, 
making sand answer when bark 
cannot be had — there are no trees of 
any sort near the spot. 
Chcerocampa Porcellus. Imago at 
rest on the sand. June 1st. 
Lasiocampa Trifolii. The larva is 
common here. It feeds well on 
raspberry in confinement — the hint 
may prove useful, as it is somewhat 
difficult to provide for and rear on 
the clover, and other small plants 
on which it feeds when at large. 
During the day-time, the larva is 
difficult to find, concealing itself at 
the roots of the herbage ; but, 
towards dusk, it has the curious 
habit of crawling up the wiry stems 
of star-grass, and is readily seen 
and captured. What its object is 
I am unable to say, as it does not 
appear to eat the star-grass.
