takes them on grassy slopes near Darlington." Mr. Sang 

 found it first at Coniscliffe, flying in the afternoon sun. He 

 subsequently found it on the railway side at Darlington. Mr. 

 Gardner has taken it in his garden at Middle Thorp, and has 

 met with it also in Upper Teesdale. I have seen it flying in 

 the afternoon sun near Fill-poke, the adjoining farm to Middle 

 Thorp: Mr. Meyrick gives Herhosana as a synonym of 

 Tanaceti, a doubtful species at best, and certainly not 

 Herhosana. .

Though Meyrick calls this a very common species, it is only 

 common locally. Here I have no records except for Hartle- 

 pool, and only Miv Gardner has met with it.

A widely distributed species, but local. The larva feeds in 

 the roots of tansy and chrysanthemum, and the insect might 

 occur anywhere. I do not see why the insect is not reported 

 from Northumberland, but at present I have no records except 

 that Mr. Sang took it on Coniscliffe Moor, and near Darlington, 

 and Mr. Gardner has met with it near Hart Station.

Not a common insect, and so far I have no record but that of 

 Mr. Sang, who took it in several places close to Darlington. 

 The larva is said to feed in shoots of Chrysanthemum 

 leucanthemum.
