April and May, on honeysuckle, maple, and rose, and 

 Schmidt says on C'hdidonmm majm. 



Pupa undescribed, in the larval habitation. 



I have no personal knowledge of this species when alive. 

 Mr. Machin used to tell me that he took it among maple. 

 Mr. Purdey (more recently) says merely that "it is very 

 secluded in its habits, and when disturbed simply falls upon 

 the upper side of a leaf.'' It was to be found in lanes about 

 Darenth, Greenhithe, and Dartford. Kent, niid at Mickleham, 

 Surrey, before the year 1860, but then became very scarce, 

 and the latest capture of which I know in either of those 

 localities was in 1873; but twenty years later it was re- 

 discovered near Folkestone, Kent, by Mr. W. Purdey, who 

 took a good series ; and it is believed still to linger in that 

 district ; but the extent of its range in this country seems 

 never to have been more than Kent, Surrey, and Hants. 



Abroad it is found in most parts of Central and Southern 

 Europe, Corsica, Sweden, Asia Minor, Tartary, China, and iu 

 India.
