24 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



Eather a scarce species, and though found on the Durham 

 moors, it has not hitherto been recorded for Northumberland. 

 Mr. Sang took it in several places near Darlington, from July 

 to August in 1860, 1869, and 1871. Mr. Gardner has taken it 

 in Teesdale, but always found it scarce.

Mr. Sang recorded this insect from a lane near Darlington, 

 and Mr. Gardner has met with it on walls in Upper Teesdale, 

 where it is far from plentiful. It is generally a common 

 species, but appears to be much scarcer in the north. Mr. 

 Porritt gives only three localities for it in Yorkshire, and Dr. 

 Ellis two in Cheshire and two in Lancashire. It appears to 

 reach the south-west of Scotland, and is even recorded from 

 Perthshire, but I doubt if it will be found in many places with 

 us ou the east coast. Mr. Porritt's localities are all westward.

This appears to be a northern and western species generally. 

 It is widely distributed in Scotland, and in the west of 

 England, but appears almost to avoid the east coast. All the 

 Yorkshire localities for it are in the west of that extensive 

 county, and in our district its habits appear to be much the 

 same. In Northumberland Mr. Einlay found it generally dis- 

 tributed on the moors towards the Cheviots, and in Durham it 

 is fairly common on the moors in the west, in Upper Weardale
