The name “ Staphijlinus ” caterpillar was 
evidently given to the larva of this species 
from the extreme singularity of its form, 
which somewhat resembles a lobster, and 
obtains for the perfect insect the name of the 
Lobster Moth. 
I have seen two specimens taken within the 
last few years a few miles from hlorwich, by 
Messrs. Hickling and Starling. 
Petasia cassinea. Fab. hlorwich, Thetford, Cawston ; appa- 
rently scarce, but from appearing in JSTovember 
it may be overlooked. 
PvGiERA BucEPHALA. Linii. Coinmon everywhere. 
Clostera curtula. Linn. Merton, Thetford ; rare. 
„ beclusa. W.V. Merton, Thetford, Aldeby, St. Faith’s, 
Pianworth, Barton Turf; probably in all the 
fens and boggy heaths, the larva feeding 
betAveen united leaves of dwarf sallow. 
Ptilodontis palptna. Linn. Norwich, Geldeston, Merton, 
Thetford, Irstead, Buxton, Foulsham ; pro- 
bably found sparingly among poplars every- 
where. 
Notodonta camelina. Linn. Norwich, Gillingham, Thetford, 
Lynn, Cawston ; not very common. 
„ cucuLLiNA. W.V. Very rare. One specimen m 
Norwich, attracted by a female bred by 
Mr. F. D. Wheeler, and a larva found at 
Horning by Mr. A. B. Farn. 
„ DiCTiEA. Linn. Norwich, Gillingham, Thetford, 
Foulsham ; among poplars. 
„ DiCT^oiDES. Esp. Norwich (1), Thetford, Foulsham.

„ ziczAC. Linn. Norwich, Runham, Gillingham, Thetford, 
Cawston, St. Faith’s, Horning, Ranworth, 
Irstead, Whitesley. The commonest species of 
the genus in Norfolk, and apparently found 
about sallows in all the fens. It is, however, 
seldom captured except in the larva state.
