TRIFID^. IT I 



and this bold headland is still one of the favourite localities 

 for the insect. It has been found at Swanage, Dorset ; and 

 still exists in the Isle of Wight, at Exmouth, Torquay, 

 Teignmouth, Dartmouth, and Plymouth, in Devon, and also 

 in Cornwall. A single specimen, taken by Mr. A. E. Hudd

 quarters. I know of no record in any other part of the 

 United Kingdom. Abroad it is also extremely local, being 

 apparently only recorded from France and Eastern Spain.
