the southern half of England, with the Eastern and Western 

 counties to the Scilly Isles ; rather scarce in the Midlands, 

 or in some parts of them apparently absent, yet present in 

 Warwickshire and Derbyshire, and becoming again common 

 in Yorkshire, Cheshire, and thence throughout the North of 

 England. Doubtless also in most parts of Wales, though 

 the only records that I find are that of Mr. Vivian in 

 Glamorganshire, and my own in Pembrokeshire. In Scotland 

 it is present in Ayrshire, Eenfrew, and elsewhere in the 

 Clydesdale district, in Fife and the Edinburgh district, and 

 in Perthshire. In Ireland generally distributed to Derry. 

 Abroad it inhabits the whole of Europe, except the boreal 

 regions, being common at Gibraltar and in Turkey, yet 

 apparently scarce in Portugal ; also found in Asia Minor, 

 Armenia, Syria, India, and the mountainous regions of 

 Central Asia.
