Mr. Gardner took a single specimen of this insect at sugar in 

 Hezleden Dene on 5th October, 1898. This appears to be a 

 very late date for the species, whose northward range Mr. 

 Meyrick limits to York, and I do not think the occurrence of a 

 solitary specimen can be taken as opposing that view. The 

 larvae should be looked for on those " nest like bunches of twigs 

 which may often be observed growing at the ends of branches 

 of birch trees." Lord Walsingham first found it in such a 

 place, and he noted that on the 13th June he had "larvae, 

 pupae, and imagines of Glaucinalis all alive at the same time." 

 Erom one of these knots of twigs he bred 40 specimens.

This insect is attached to stables and similar habitats, 

 and will, no doubt, be found in such places over the entire 

 district; more particularly when they have been used as 

 such for many years. At present I have but few records.
