THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

uneasily ran over the cage, anxiously 
examining it previous to fixing on a site 
for their home, which clone, they spun a 
few threads to cover their bodies, and 
remained there some months before 
changing ; when I have found them 
straying on the roads it was the end of 
autumn : they never broke their fast when 
in my possession, therefore it pleased me 
to believe that they had deserted their 
food-plant, and were seeking a secure 
retreat to preserve themselves from the 
frosts and floods of winter, as I never 
captured one in the spring. I know not 
if they leave their hybernaculum again to 
eat ; mine changed in their beds, which 
were high up in the cage.— R. Cartmel, 
13, Williams Grove , Walworth; Oct. 26. 
Peronea Scabrana. — I have bred this 
insect from a larva found between united 
elm leaves in September; the larva is 
pale green, the head black, and a black 
bilobed patch on the second segment ; the 
anterior legs are shining black. — E. Par- 
fitt, 4, Weirfield Place , St. Leonard’s , 
Exeter ; October 29. 
Lithocolletis Cydoniella? — I took the 
hint in the ‘ Intelligencer’ respecting 
this insect, and very soon found about a 
dozen on a small quince tree in my 
garden. I observed the mines last year, 
but thought it was only L. pomifoliella. 
On comparing the larva; I now see that 
the quince species is pale dull green, 
whilst that in the apple leaves is yellow, 
with the anterior segments very pale. — 
Ibid. 
Lithocolletis on the tipper side of Beech 
Leaves. — Two years ago I met with this 
larva, but did not rear it, and had en- 
tirely forgotten the circumstance till I 
saw the notice in the ‘ Intelligencer’ 
(vol. ii. p. 142 — 143), which brought it 
again to my recollection. This October 
I have collected about ten specimens of 
this larva, and hope next year to rear 
the perfect insect. 1 found the mines 
only on beeches which grew near horn- 
beam , so that I half suspected it might 
be only L. Carpinicolella ; but the larva, 
which I have closely examined, appears 
rather different. — Professor Frey, Zu- 
rich ; October 22. 
Ornix on Beech Leaves. — In September 
I found an Ornix larva mining in great 
plenty the leaves of the beech, near 
Zurich. Unfortunately I was rather too 
late, as most of the mines were already 
empty, but I found a fe\V larvae, some of 
which have entered the pupa state. The 
larva has two black spots on the second 
segment. — I bid. 
Coleophora Albitarsella and Solitari- 
ella . — The larvae of these species are 
excessively abundant near here, and I 
shall be glad to supply any one who can 
keep them through the winter and feed 
them in the spring. I don’t wish the 
poor creatures to be imprisoned and 
starved. — H. T. Stainton, Mountsfield , 
Lewisham ; November 2.
