Introduced by Mr. Howard Vaughan, September, 1872. 

 British Localities. — Folkestone ; Cambridge. 

 Distribution. — France ; Germany ; Sweden ; Gallicia ; 

 England. 



Note. — The specimen taken by Mr. C. A. Briggs at Folke- 

 stone on the 21st of July, 1872, furnished the first record of this 

 species in Britain; but, after making the announcement, Mr. 

 Vaughan detected two other specimens, one in Mr. S. Stevens' 

 collection, and another in that of Mr. Ramsay 'Cox. 



M. Eagonot observes that, according to Anton Schmid, " the 

 undescribed larva feeds in moss on the branches of old plum, 

 apple, and poplar trees ; but Dr. Bossier finds the moth also in 

 fir-woods where the ground is covered with moss."
