jg6 LEPIDOPTERA. 



has been taken by the Rev. T. W. Daltry, and in Cheshire, 

 where it has been found in Delamere Forest ; also in one or 

 two localities in Yorkshire and Westmoreland. Probably 

 in all suitable places in Wales, since 1 found its larva com- 

 monly in a large wood in Pembrokeshire, and Major Partridge 

 has taken it near Dolgelly, North Wales. I find no record 

 in Scotland, and in Ireland it is very scarce, having been 

 taken only at Howth, near Dublin, and in the County 

 Wicklow. Its range abroad is rather more southern — 

 Central Europe, the South of France, Corsica, Northern 

 Italy, Bulgaria, and Southern and Eastern Russia.
