NOTES ON THE COLLECTION OF BRITISH MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 9 
LASIOCAMPID/.- 
Pachygastria trifoltti—Two specimens from the Hope Collee- 
tion came from F. Bond’s Collection. They wére bred in August, 
1871, from larve taken in Romney Marsh, Kent. They are 
described in the ‘ Proceedings of the Entomological Society,’ 
November 20th, 1871. They are very pale brown on the inner 
portion of the fore wings, the outer portion being ochreous. 
Lasiocampa quercus.—A very remarkable specimen from the 
Hope Collection, which has the body and wings of a female with 
male antenne, also came from F. Bond. It is labelled ‘‘ May, 
1867, larva found in the London District.’ On another label 
ish ort. Bond.” 
Macrothylacia rubii—In a male specimen from the Hope 
Collection the two pale lines are widened and drawn close 
together, making a pale band, only showing indications of the 
dark inner band at the costa and inner margin. In two other 
specimens taken by myself in North Staffs by assembling, and 
in one from the Meldola Collection from Morpeth, the two pale 
lines are much nearer to each other than is normal. In two 
others, one bred by myself from a New Forest larva, the other 
from the Chitty Collection, also from the New Forest, the inner 
pale line is obsolete. 
Gastropacha ilicifola.—Two specimens from the Spilsbury 
Collection without data. One from the Sellon Collection, labelled 
“* Cannock Chase by Orgill of Rugeley.” It is rather faded and 
the antenne are wanting, but is otherwise in very fair condition.

Collection, labelled ‘‘ Leigh Woods, Bristol bred 6. 1899.” One 
from the Sellon Collection, without data.
