TORTRICID.-E—PANDEMIS. 1 7 1 



cocoon. The moth hides during the day among the tall foliage 

 of marshes, fens, moist woods and boggy heaths, and is very 

 difficult to disturb, slipping away from plant to plant till it 

 hides close to the mud. At early dusk it comes up and flies 

 gently about the same places, the female appearing a little 

 later than the male. The latter continues to move about all 

 night, and will come at any hour of the darkness to a strong 

 light. 



To be found iu suitable places throughout England, but 

 especially in fees and near the coast ; in Wales frequent in 

 Pembrokeshire, and doubtless elsewhere; in Scotland ex- 

 tending to Edinburgh and the Clyde Valley; in Ireland 

 recorded from Cork, Sligo and Enniskillen. Abroad it is 

 well distributed through Central Europe, Sweden, Livonia 

 and Southern Russia.
