Erioqaster lanestris. Linn. Of general occurrence j in some 
seasons the larvae are very abundant, forming 
large nests of silk on the hawthorn and black- 
thorn hedges. 
Eombyx neustria. Linn. Of general occurrence, sometimes 
common. 
„ RUBi. Linn. Of general occurrence on heaths. 
„ QUERCUS. Linn. Generally common. This and the 
allied species are seldom taken in the perfect 
state, hut commonly in that of larva. 
Odonestis potatoria. Linn. Common everywhere; abundant 
in the fens. 
[Eutricha pini. Linn.J This species, like Arctnrus spamhalln, 
was recorded by Curtis, and on the same 
authority. He writes : — “ Joseph Sparshall, 
Esq., took a fine male in the Norfolk and 
Norwich Hospital, 23rd July, 1809.” If this 
is correct,' it is almost certain that the specimen 
must have been imported in the pupa state 
with foreign timber, and this might easily be 
the case as Eutricha pini is common in Ger- 
many and other parts of the Continent, but I 
think it likely that Mr. Sparshall mixed his 
Foreign and British insects, and thus fell into 
various errors. E. pini is not known as a 
British insect. 
Gastropacha quercifolia. Linn. Norwich, Merton, Brandon, 
Thetford, Aldeby, Eanworth, Sparham, Caws- 
ton, Bawsey, near Lynn ; not verj'- common.
