Euphrosyne. Whence could such an 
error arise, that so common a “ beastie” 
as Euphrosyne should be mistaken for 
the Queen of Spain ? The error arose 
thus: in Westwood’s ‘ Butterflies of 
Great Britain,’ at p. 39, we find 
“Species 1. Argynnis Lalhonia. 
The Queen of Spain Fritillary. 
Plate Y. fig. 4, 4 1. 4 p.”, 
and this figure entirely accords with the 
insect sent ine by my correspondent ; 
the veritable Lathonia being figured at 
Plate IV. fig. 4. Incipients had better, 
therefore, make a marginal correction of 
this erroneous reference to the Plate, or 
again we shall be having announcements 
of fictitious Lathonias. — H. T. Stainton ;

Nonagria Crassicornis. — Having taken 
this insect lately in some plenty, I shall 
be glad to exchange my duplicates for 
good specimens of Nos. 20, 21, 25, 31, 38, 
39, 42, 43, 44, 45, 59, 62, 63, any of the 
genera Oymatophora, Nonagria , Dian- 
thcecia, Xanthia (except ferruginea), Cu- 
cullia (except Verbasci), or any other 
insect of equal rarity.— W. H. Allchin, 
7, Pembridge Villas, Bayswater ; Oct. 12. 
Duplicate Fuliginosa and Semele. — My 
stock of these insects was small, and is 
completely exhausted. I hope, therefore, 
those gentlemen whose letters I am un- 
able to answer will not think me wanting 
in courtesy. I am “ thunderstruck at 
the result of my announcement.’’ — W. S. 
Thokburn, Bank House , Troqueer, near 
Dumfries; October 12. 
Macroglossa Slellatarum. — The larvae 
of this insect, which my brother and I 
found at Ilfracombe, some of which were 
not full-fed until the beginning of Sep- 
tember, are now emerging from the pupa 
state. This seems to be marvellously 
quick work. — Murray A. Mathews, 
Raleigh, near Barnstaple ; Oct. 5. 
Macroglossa Slellatarum. — On the 11th 
inst. I saw a specimen of this insect 
emerge from the pupa in my breeding- 
cage (kept in a room where there is no 
fire) : this, I think, is very late in the 
year: it became a pupa at the latter eud 
of August. — W. H. Taylor, Tolson 
Street, Sunny Bunk, Leeds ; Oct. 13. 
[Do not some of these late pupae remain 
unchanged till the following spring? or 
does the insect hybernate in the perfect 
state ?] 
Eggs of Xanthia A urago. — By in- 
closing six specimens of Xanthia Aurago 
(taken at sugar), in a muslin sleeve on 
the beech, I have obtained a few eggs of 
that most beautiful of the Xanthia. 
These are pink when first laid, from 
which circumstance I at first hoped they 
might be found on the sprays of the 
beech during the winter; but, after two 
or three days, the pink colour changed 
into a claret-brown, hard to be dis- 
tinguished from the bud of the tree. 
The egg is ribbed and circular.— -Rev. B. 
Smith, Marlow ; October 14. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have a few 
good specimens of the following insects 
to spare : — 
Gonepteryx Rhamni, 
Arge Galathea, 
Vanessa Atalanta, 
Argynnis Aglaia, 
„ Euphrosyne, 
Melitaea Artemis, 
Thymele Alveolus, 
Anthrocera Lonicerae, 
which I shall be glad to exchange for 
any of the following: — 
Leucophasia Sinapis, 
Erebia Cassiope, 
Coenonympha Davus, 
Limenitis Sibylla, 
Cynthia Cardui, 
Melitaea Athalia, 
Neineobius Lucina,
