COMMUNICATIONS, 
Lepidoptera. 
Aryynnis Dia . — Seeing from the ‘ In- 
telligencer,’ of November 28, that some 
doubts hate been expressed relative to 
the capture of Dia , I think it better to 
state that the specimen in question was 
taken about the middle of September 
last, in the Rev. S. Hodson’s garden, at 
Cookham Deane, near Maidenhead. As 
I killed and set the specimen myself, I 
am quite certain that it is undoubtedly 
British ; and I trust that this will set the 
question at rest. — Hon. Charles Ei.lis, 
Cookham Deane, Maidenhead ; Dec. 8. 
Chcerocampa Celerio. — I had the plea- 
sure of taking a very fine specimen of 
C. Celerio on the 4th of December. I 
took it on a factory window-sill outside 
the building. — William Briars, Pocket 
Rumworth, near Bolton ; Dec. 7. 
Exapate Gelatella. — This insect is now 
occurring very freely in old hawthorn 
hedges here. On very calm days they 
occasionally fly about midday, but this is 
very seldom ; the males are, however, 
very easily found by beating the hedges 
where they occur on fine days; in cold 
weather they appear to take shelter in 
the underwood. The females appear to 
be much rarer than the males ; at any 
rate they are very difficult to find. I 
occasionally beat them out at night with 
the aid of an umbrella. — G. Harding, 
jun., Stapleton, near Bristol; Dec. 8. 
Captures of Chariclea De/phinii. — In 
No. 60 (November 21, 1857) of the ‘ In- 
telligencer,’ you say, in reply to a corre- 
spondent, “ Whoever offered you Chari- 
clea Delphinii you may be sure it was a 
hoax ; no one has it to part with ;” fur- 
ther, the ‘Manual’ says “has occurred 
near Windsor,” and other writers doubt 
its being indigenous. At the time your 
remark about the “ hoax ” was made, a 
correspondent had kindly offered me a 
specimen of this insect, one of three he 
had taken ; 1 am happy to say, in my 
case, it was no hoax: a beautiful speci- 
men has reached me, and now graces my 
cabinet. I asked for the history of the 
capture, and have the following reply : — 
“ Three Delphinii were taken in the gar- 
den either in June or July ; one (the first) 
was found by one of my children on a 
gravel walk, and I pinned it myself; the 
other two were taken an evening or two
