This species is found in August. Mr. Kirby took the female at 

 Barham in September. It is rare in the western counties, but very 

 abundant in the northern ones. In Yorkshire I obtained it in 

 plenty colonizing ; here the sexes were dug out of their burrows. It 

 is very abundant in Cumberland, and has been taken at Lower 

 "Warmer, near Deal, at Lowestoft, and at Cromer.
