Generally distributed and common in both counties. Meyrick 

 limits its range to York, which is a great mistake, for it extends 

 into Scotland even on the east coast. It is given in the 

 Twizell list, and Mr. "Wailes recorded it for Newcastle in 

 Stephens' Illustrations (Haust., vol. iv., p. 59). Mr. Patterson 

 found it at Chopwell ; Messrs. Brady and Corder at Sunderland ; 

 and about Hartlepool it occurs everywhere, and generally so 

 abundant as to be quite a nuisance.

As yet only recorded by Mr. Pinlay from the Morpeth 

 district, and by Mr. Gardner and myself at Hartlepool, but it 

 is certain to occur all over both counties. The larvsD are not at

 everywhere.

Meyrick says this species extends to the Clyde, and Stainton 

 says it occurs at Carlisle, but its range on the east coast 

 appears considerably restricted. Only two localities are given
