THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

Miihlig, of Frankfort, I have also re- 
ceived the case of another new birch- 
feeder. — H. T. Stainton ; October 5. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — A specimen was 
taken a few days ago by a lady in this 
town, but, having put it under a glass 
to watch its motions, it soon deprived 
itself, by its flutteriugs, of its beauty, 
completely spoiling the ends of its wings 
and rubbing all the down off the thorax. 
It is now, however, in very good hands. 
— R. Tyrer, jun., Row Lane , South- 
port ; October 3. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — Since my last 
communication of the 27th September 
(Intell. No. 53, p. 4), I have taken three 
S. Convolvuli , attracted by the white 
Petunia, — two males with fore wings 
much shattered and one female in perfect 
condition, dark and strongly marked. — 
H. D’Orville, Alphington, near Exeter ; 
October 9. 
Sphinx Convolvuli . — I write to record 
the capture of a pretty tine specimen of 
S. Convolvuli ; it was taken by a friend, 
who very kindly sent it to us. We have 
taken another Colias Edusa, and it was 
also captured with a straw hat while out 
partridge shooting. — G. F. Mathews, 
Raleigh House , near Barnstaple ; Oct. 5. 
Captures near Ashford. — Three speci- 
mens of Sphinx Convolvuli caught, and 
one bred from a pupa found exposed on 
the grass. Two specimens of C. Edusa 
and two of C. Cardui. I have also 
taken, by diggiug, &c., the following 
pupae : — 
Algeria apiformis (12). In trunks of 
poplars. 
C. Vinula (2). On trunks of poplars, 
near the bottom. 
C. Bifida (4). Under the bark of 
poplars. 
C. furcula (6). Under the bark of 
willow. 
S. Ocellatus (12). Willow and apple. 
S. Tilite (3). Elm. 
S. Populi (2). Poplar. 
— A. Russell, Ashford, Kent ; Oct. G. 
Grapta C-album. — I have several dupli- 
cates of Grapta C-album, and should be 
glad to send sets of them for single speci- 
mens of any of the following: — C.Hgale, 
A. Cratcegi , A. Iris, M. Cinxia, S. Pa- 
niscus. — J. Merrin, Gloucester ; Oct. 5. 
Larva of V. Polychloros — In confirma- 
tion of your correspondent, the Rev. Hugh 
A. Stowell, as to V. Polychloros feeding 
on willow, I would mention that I have 
shaken this autumn several small larvae 
from both willow and sallow, which, on 
comparison with a brood of V. Poly- 
chloros I have feeding on elm, appear to 
correspond exactly. — Ibid. 
Phragmatobia Fuliginosa. — I had the 
luck to rear from one pair of Ruby Tigers 
about eighty-five eggs, which were de- 
posited on the 24th of May, and came to 
life on the 3rd of June : they were full-fed 
and spun up about the end of the same 
month, and came out from the 16th to 
the 20th of July. Some of the earliest 
that came out laid eggs on the 19tli, and 
I have now on hand about 300 of the 
caterpillars. I have had six out of this 
brood that spun up and came out about 
the middle of August, but the others, to 
all appearance, are going to hybernate. 
I shall be glad to exchange either cater- 
pillars or moths for A. Cardamines, 
C. Cardui, or any of the Fritillaries, the 
Buff-tip, the Scarlet Tiger, &c. I have 
also V. Atalanta, which I will exchange 
for anything of equal value. — George 
Hudson, 27, Stansfield Row, Burley, 
near Leeds ; October 6. 
Captures of Lepidoptera this Summer. 
— I look a fine pair of Colias Edusa on 
the bank of the South-Eastern Railway, 
near Brockley, about the middle of 
August, not more than twenty yards from 
each other. I took six specimens of 
C. Cardui on some waste ground near 
the Surrey Canal, Peckham. In a field 
near Peckham Grove, I took five speci- 
mens of V. Polychloros, in good order ; 
they were at rest on the trunks of some 
willows : I saw at least six or seven more.
