32 LEPIDOPTERA. 



end of Juno ; but iu the stormy west of Ireland it liardly 

 emerges before June, and a second brood is apparently 

 unknown. It is widely distributed iu the south and west of 

 Iri;Laud, and is found right up the sheltered west side of 

 England, iu Worcestershire and Herefordsliii-e, and, again, 

 among the hills and warm valleys from North Lancashire to 

 (Jumberlaud ; but does not aj^pear ever to have crossed the 

 border into Scotland, and on the east side of England its 

 range seems to extend hardly beyond the soutli of Lincoln- 

 shire, though there are two records of isolated captures in 

 Yorkshire. The single record for Norfolk proved to be an 

 error. It may at one time have had a wider range in this 

 country, since it has now disappeared from some of its 

 former southern, haunts, as, for instance, Lewes and other 

 Sussex localities, but there is very little evidence. Mr. 11. 

 Goes, however, states that to his knowledge it was common 

 in a wood at Polegate sixteen years ago, but has totally 

 disappeared, and also that it is now extremely scarce iu the 

 New Forest, where it formerly abounded. It is probably to 

 be found still somewhere in each county in the southern 

 half of England, and in Wales has been found as far west as 

 Carmarthenshire.
