18 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



for Yorkshire, and I have only casual occurrences for Durham 

 and none for Northumberland. Mr. Corder took a single speci- 

 men in a garden at Sunderland. Mr. Gardner has taken two 

 or three on the railway side at Hartlepool near the Cemetery, 

 and Mr. Sang took it at street lamps in Darlington on 29th 

 September, 1859. It is mo food difficulty that prevents its 

 appearance here, as the larva feeds on common plants. I think 

 theese counties are beyond its range in the east.

Larva. Not figured, but described by Porritt, Buck.,

Generally distributed, and no doubt occurriug in all suitable 

 places in both counties. Mr. Pinlay found it on the moors 

 north and west of Morpeth ; Mr. Henderson got it at Jesmond. 

 Mr. Sang took it at street lamps at Darlington ; and Mr. Sibson 

 found it at Stockton-on-Tees. About Hartlepool it is very 

 common, especially on the sandhills. It is very easily dis- 

 turbed in the day time, when it flies wildly away for a few 

 yards and then settles again.
