172 ERIOCAMPA LIMACINA. 



Eriocampoides (D. E. Z., 1890, 239), 



which he defines thus : 



Body short, ovate ; head semispherical, not margined 

 behind ; eyes reaching to the base of the mandibles ; 

 antennae attenuate at the apex, thickened at the 

 middle ; wings with two radial and four cubital cel- 

 lules ; transverse basal nervure inserted before the 

 base of the cubital cellules ; first recurrent nerves not 

 parallel ; lanceolate cellule with an oblique nervure ; 

 claws with a tooth at the base. 



The chief point of distinction between them and 

 Eriocampa is that in the latter the transverse basal 

 nervure is received at the base of the cubital cellules, 

 and is parallel with the transverse cubital nervures ; 

 while with Eriocampoides it is curved and received at 

 a distance from the cubital cellules, as in Hoplo- 

 campa, &c. 



Eriocampa annulipbs (Yol. I, p. 222). 



The larvae of this species I have found to be destruc- 

 tive to beech hedges, and Brischke (1. c, 84) found 

 them feeding on Vaccinium myrtillus and V. uliginosum. 



Eriocampa varipbs (Yol. I, p. 223). 



Brischke (1. c, 85) gives as the food-plants of the 

 larvae Populus tremula and Salix aurita. 



Eriocampa limaoina (Yol. I, 224). 



An additional food-plant is Oydonia vulgaris 

 (Brischke, 1. c).
