The only record I have of this species is that Mr. Sang took 

 larvse on August 5th, 1874, at Hell Kettles, near Darlington. 

 It ought to occur elsewhere. 



Like the two preceding insects, this has been moved by more 

 recent writers from the Pyralides. Mr. Meyrick places it 

 among the Tineina, following the genus Glyphipteryx.

I have no doubt this insect is common wherever there is 

 plenty of coltsfoot, on the roots of which, and on Picris 

 hieracioides, the larvse feed. The late John Sang took it at 

 Castle Eden and around Darlington, and Mr. Lofthouse found 

 it on the Greatham salt marshes. It is common about Hartle- 

 pool, and I once found it swarming by the side of a newly 

 made road among the docks, the loose banks of which were 

 covered with coltsfoot. As the business purposes for which 

 the road was made gradually developed, the coltsfoot was 

 trodden out of existence, and the insect disappeared there, but 

 it is still plentiful elsewhere, especially where there is 

 abundance of coltsfoot on new made ground. I have no 

 records for ITorthumberland, but do not doubt it will be found 

 there.
