THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 217 
general distribution, and no localities are given, it may be 
expected to be met with in suitable situations throughout these 
counties. 
Halias prasinana.—Common in almost every wood ; it may be 
taken freely in the evening flying over the tops of the bushes, 
but generally out of reach of the ordinary net. It is also 
frequently to be obtained, both in the larva and imago states, by 
beating oak trees, &c. The pupa is enclosed in a very neat 
cocoon of a light brown colour, spun between twisted leaves or 
pieces of bark, and, in the latter case, is not easily detected. 
H. quercana.—Not so common as the preceding species, but 
fairly distributed. It has been taken somewhat freely in Kent, at 
Dartford and Sevenoaks; and in Surrey, at Croydon and West 
Wickham Wood: it has also been recorded from Haslemere and 
Lewisham; and in Sussex from the neighbourhood of Hastings. 
It comes to sugar, and is easily reared from the larva. 
H. clorana.—Tolerably common in osier-beds, where the 
larva is to be met with far more frequently than the imago. It 
used to be plentiful along the Surrey banks of the Thames around 
Hammersmith and Kingston. A single specimen is recorded 
from Hastings. 
Sarrothripa Revayana.—Has been met with in all woody 
localities in these counties, but is nowhere common. I once 
secured a dozen specimens in one afternoon in a wood at 
Ashtead, but I worked for them the whole afternoon, and 
found the majority were disturbed from some large holly bushes 
rather than from the oaks. Its capture is mentioned in every 
list I have received, the nearest points to London being Croydon 
and Lewisham. 
Tortrix podana, Scop. = pyrastrana, Hub.—Tolerably com- 
mon everywhere, and most abundant in gardens. 
T. crategana, Hub. = roborana, Hub.— Widely distributed, 
but scarce, being usually found in oak woods; it is recorded from 
Darenth, the neighbourhoods of Gravesend and Sevenoaks, and I 
have taken it at Folkestone; the Surrey localities are Ashstead 
and Haslemere, and the Sussex ones Lewes and Hastings. 
T. xylosteana, Linn.— Abundant everywhere. 
T. sorbiana, Hub.—Not uncommon in oak woods; at Croydon 
I have found it very common some seasons. 
T. rosana, Linn.—Abundant everywhere.
