Pygaera bucephala. Very common in the larva state.

 tomed liberality gave them to me.

N. trepida. I have taken both the larva and pupa of this species, 

 but have never reared it.

 " I know the insect occurs at Ringwood, as 1 found the larva." 



N. dodonaea. I found an ichneumoned larva of this species in

 is not often seen.
