best when bred. The larva feeds in May, and the moth appears 
the following month. 
P. cynosbana, Linn.—Abundant everywhere. 
P. dimidiana, Treit. Sod.,=ochromelana, Gn.—Local. The 
Rev. E. N. Bloomfield records its occurrence sparingly at 
Hastings. 
P. sauciana, Hub.—Local. In Kent, it occurs near Sevenoaks 
and Tunbridge Wells; in Surrey, at Leith Hill; and at Haslemere, 
in Sussex. 
P. gentianana, Curt.—Common throughout among teasel 
(Dipsacus sylvestris), in the seed-heads of which the larva feeds. 
These heads should be gathered in March or April, and put into 
bandboxes. The moths will emerge in July or August without 
further trouble. 
P. sellana, Hub.—Distributed, but not abundant. The imago 
frequents grassy places with mixed herbage, broken ground, &c., 
and is particularly partial to railway slopes. It is an insignificant 
insect in appearance, and is not readily to be distinguished when 
on the wing from the Dicroramphe. It is to be taken in May 
and June, and sometimes in July; but whether there are two 
broods or one straggling one is open to question. 
P. oblongana, Haw.,=marginana, Haw.,=similana, Wilk.— 
Distributed throughout, but local, and it appears to be more of a 
woodland species than the preceding; its capture has been 
recorded from Folkestone, Dover, Tunbridge Wells, and Strood ; 
Haslemere, and Croydon. 
P. fuligana, Hub.,=ustulana, Haw.,=carbonana, Db.—Much 
scarcer than the last species, but it appears to be nearly as 
widely distributed, specimens having been captured at Tilgate 
Forest, Coombe and Darenth Woods, Folkestone, and Hastings.
