it there. It is not uncommon in Hezleden Dene, and Mr. 

 Gardner bred one from Lotus cortiiculattis, on which it had 

 probably fallen from rose, on which the larva undoubtedly 

 feeds. Wilkinson says "larvae under moss on beech trees," 

 which is certainly wrong.

Epiblema ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep,, p. 496. 



A very local species, feeding certainly on Petasites. Mr, 

 Sang met with the insect at Couiscliffe Moor, on the Teeside, 

 and at Blackwell in 1878 and 1880. Mr. Gardner searched for 

 this species for three years at Greatham without success, but 

 he found it at last, and took two specimens on 6th July, 1904, 

 among Petasites. One of them was in beautiful condition.

Hysterosia ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 559. 



A southern and western species, whose range extends to 

 York, according to Meyrick. Mr. Sang took it at Seaton 

 Carew.on 23rd July, 1854. I have no other record. It should 

 be looked for among Inula dysenterica, on which the larva feeds. 

 Meyrick says it feeds on the roots of Artemisia campestris, but 

 this is a sad mistake, for which, Mr. Barrett tells me, Baron von 

 Nolcken was responsible.

,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 496. 



A southern species, limited in range by Meyrick to Kent, to 

 Hants, and Norfolk. Both Mr. Gardner and I have taken it in 

 Hezleden Dene. I only took it once ; I believe Mr. Gardner 

 has met with more than one,
