_Entomological Query_ (Vol. iv., p. 101.).--The insect which J. E. found

on the _Linaria minor_ is probably either the _Euphitecia Linariata_ or

_E. Pulchellata_. The former species is known to feed on Toad flax, and

there is little doubt that the latter does also. If J. E. found any of

the caterpillars he may identify them by referring to Westwood's

_British Moths_, vol ii. p. 59., where the caterpillar of _Euphitecia

Linariata_ is engraved and described as "yellow or greenish, with dark

chesnut spots on the back and sides."
