 appears in May, and occurs not unfrequently on 

 dry heaths, commons, &c. Near London, at Dart-

 been observed in plenty ; as well as in more north- 

 ern localities, particularly heaths in the vicinity of 

 Newcastle and YorK. We have likewise seen ex- 

 amples which were taken in the south of Scotland ; 

 and it occurred near Tain and Cromarty, in June 

 1 834, in considerable abundance : so that its range 

 in Britain, from north to soutn, is widely extended.
