io8 LEPIDOPTERA. 



on examiuation proved to be genuine E. innotatK. Since 

 that time a very lew more have been taken, and also a few 

 larva', but it is still a rare species in these Islands, and 

 scarcely anything is known as to its habits. Besides 

 Lincolnshire it has been found in Devon ; in the Wye 

 district of Kent ; at Shoebaryness, Essex ; on the coasts of 

 Cheshire and Lancasiiire ; and at Hartlepool, Durham. I 

 possess no reliable records for Wales, Scotland or Ireland. 

 Abroad it seems to have an extensive range through Central 

 Europe, the greater portion of Southern Europe, Finland, 

 Livonia, Hyrcania, Armenia, and the maintainous regions of 

 Central Asia.
