40 LEPIDOP TERA . 



recorded was taken by the late Mr. C. J. Paget, of Yarmoutli, 

 Norfolk, in 1839. He stated that it was obtained in his 

 garden in that town in the month of June, and that when 

 first observed it had but just emerged from the chrysalis, as 

 its wings were not expanded, and it was sitting upon a 

 wooden fence which partl}^ surrounded the garden. So far 

 as I can ascertain, the next specimen was secured at Ashford, 

 H.iuts, by the Rev. W. H. Hawker, when a young lad. He 

 found it in a spider's web and placed it in his collection as 

 an " Antler " moth (Cliaroas f/raminis), and did not for some 

 years realise what a prize was in his possession. In 1855 

 this specimen was exhibited, under its true name, at a meeting 

 of the Entomological Society of Loudon. In the year 1892 

 two specimens occurred. One was taken by Lieutenant 

 (now Captain) E. W. Browne at sugar at Folkstone, Kent ; 

 the other by Dr. E. W. Carlier at a gas-lamp in the out- 

 skirts of Norwich. I know of no other records in England. 

 There is a beautiful specimen in the collection of Mr. S. J. 

 Capper at Huyton Park, Liverpool, which he secured at the 

 sale of Mr. Waring's collection. This may possibly be Mr. 

 Paget's original example, but unfortunately no record was 

 preserved, and it is not certainly known what became of that 

 specimen. The Hon. R. E. Dillon distinctly states that he 

 took a specimen at sugar at Clonbrock, Calway, upon the 

 same tree upon which he had previously secured a specimen 

 of Lcucanca cviranca ; and this statement and the identity of 

 the specimen are confirmed by ]\Ir. Kane. 



Abroad it has a wide range through Central Europe, the 

 temperate portions of Northern Europe, North Italy, the 

 Ural Mountain district, Tartary, China, and the mountainous 

 regions of Central Asia.
