P. mdanarius, common every- 
where. 
P. niger, common everywhere. 
P. madidus, common everywhere. 
P. striola, common everywhere. 
Amara aulica, in sandpits. 
Nebna G y llenlbolii , on Pen Lo- 
mond. 
Anisodadytns binotatus, on the 
shores of Loch Lomond at Bullock. 
Aepys marinus, nine at Dunbar- 
ton, and thirty-five at Gai'elochead. 
I find this species only under stones 
which lie rather deeply buried in the 
sand, under high water mark. It 
prefers sand which does not retain 
much moisture, and when once 
found you may be sure of getting 
a large quantity. — Tnos. G. Bishop

Lrpidoptera. 
Noduce in Shropshire . — Since my 
last communication I have taken, 
amongst other commoner species, the 
following, all at sugar : — 
2 H. suasa. 
1 II. dentina. 
4 A. gemina. 
3 N. f estiva. 
1 X. hepatica. 
2 II. adusta. 
1 P. tenebrosa. 
1 G. bilinea. 
1 N.-Cnigrmn. 
Besides II. thalassina and E. lucipara 
in abundance. — Rev. Percy An- 
drews, Lilleshall, Newport, Salop,

Captures in 18G3 ( continued ). — 
Dianthcecia capsophila — several bred 
April 24 to June 4, from larval 
found August last, feeding on the 
unripe seeds of Silene maritime,. In 
none of these specimens is there a 
trace of the brown or yellow of D. 
carpopliaga. In the shape of the 
wings, the pure black and white 
colouring 1 , and the absence of a bar 
on the hind-wings, which are uni- 
formly dark, and on which the spot 
so distinctive of Dianthcecia forms 
a white point, they approach more 
closely to Conspersa than to Carpo- 
phaga, and the proper position of the 
new species appears to be between 
these two insects. The pointed 
body and the protruding ovipositor 
of the females of Capsincola and 
Cucubali seem to require a sub- 
section of the genus. I had no op- 
portunity of comparing the larva 
of Capsophila with that of Carpo- 
phaga, but hope to do so this season. 
They are certainly very like Carpo- 
phaga larva;, but this is only what 
might be expected. Mr. Doubleday 
informs me that the larva ; of Con- 
spersa and Capsincola are so similar 
that it is no easy matter to separate 
some of them. 
Eubolia Lineolaria , May 10 to 
3 imp 7, on the wing. 
Melanippe galiata, abundant on 
sand-hills, June 2. 
Pyrausta Ostrinalis, ditto. 
Eupitlioecia tenuiata, bred June
