Dauca carota and Heracleum sphondyUiim, the males from July 6th to Sep- 

 tember loth and the females from the 2\\\\ of July to about ten days

 distributed. I have taken it at lAudhurst and Lymington, in Hants ;

 Peasenhall, Claydon bridge, Farnham, Sibton Abbey, Bentley Woods, 

 Covehithe, Blythborough, Finboro' Park, Lackford bridge, Brandon, Bar- 

 ton Mills, Burgh Castle, Southwold, Aldeburgh, I^ramfonl, Ilenstcad 

 marsh and by the (dipping at Blakenham.
