of England and Wales, but not very common in the northern 

 counties. More local in Scotland, though found in various 

 localities in the Eastern and Western counties, in Perthshire 

 and northward to Moray and West Koss ; but apparently not 

 noticed in the Scottish islands. Apparently in all parts of 

 Ireland, and often common. Abroad its range seems to be 

 more toward the South, as it is common in most parts of 

 Central and Southern Europe, and also in Asia Minor.
