This should not be a very rare species on boggy moors, and 

 places where Myrica gale grows, but I have only one notice 

 from each county. Mr. Maling reports in the Transactions, 

 vol. v., p. 281, without locality, but almost certainly from 

 ^Northumberland. Mr. Sang got it at Eggleston in June, 1881, 

 having found larvae there the previous month.

Yery generally distributed throughout both counties, though 

 it does not appear very plentiful anywhere. The larva feeds 

 on any low plant, but seems to prefer plantain and Centaurea, 

 folding back the leaves. Mr. Finlay found it in most places 

 around Morpeth. Mr, Maling recorded it in the Transactions 

 for 1875 (vol. v., p. 281), Mr, Sang took it around Darlington, 

 and found larvae on the railway banks. It is common about 

 Hartlepool. I think I have found it most frequently on the 

 railway embankment.

This species is very abundant on the moors of ISTorthumber- 

 land, and of Durham also, though I have no records from 

 Weardale, Mr. Wailes reported it for Meldon Park in Stephens'
