We have only seen two specimens, one taken on a white poplar at 

 Blackheath in August, which was forwarded to Dr. Fieber, who 

 agrees with us that it is a good species, and nearly allied to P. Populi ; 

 the other taken by Mr. Bold at Gosforth, near Neweastle-on-Tyne, 

 by beating foliage in September.
