Generally a common species, but not recorded for Northum- 

 berland, and Durham may be its northern limit on the east 

 coast. Meyrick says it reaches the Caledonian Canal on the 

 west. M.V. Backhouse took it on ling at ShuU. It is very 

 common about Hartlepool and Darlington, but I have no other 

 records. The larva feeds on roots of yarrow and Tanacetum.

Eather a common species generally, and reaching the 

 Caledonian Canal on the west. Here it has only been taken 

 in Teesdale by Mr. Sang on 16th May, 1880, and by Mr. 

 Gardner more recently, who found it common on the Teesdale 

 moors. Like the last this may be its northern limit on the east 

 side of the island. Meyrick limits its range to York.

A local species, occurring amongst tansy. Meyrick limits its 

 range to York, but Mr. Sang took it on the Teeside at Conis- 

 cliffe. I have no other record, but it may occur elsewhere.
