Euryproctus siJiistcr, Brischke. 



Brischke, Die Ich. d. Prov. W. u. 0-Preuss, 36, $ . 



I took a female of this species near Norwich middle of 

 September, 1879. I have also seen one taken by Mr. 

 Bignell in Devonshire. Mr. J. E. Fletcher has bred 

 both sexes from Eriocamjxi raripcs. The male agrees 

 exactly with the female, except that it has the mouth 

 and face yellow, and the abdomen has the apex of the 

 1st segment narrower. Mr. Fletcher says one of his 

 has the areolet of the right wing imperfect ; Brischke 

 says his has the left wing with an imperfect areolet. 

 Probably specimens may be found without an areolet 

 at ail.
