uncommon. Mr. Maling recorded it in the Transactions for 

 1875, p. 281 ; Mr. Henderson got it in Jesmond Dene. In 

 Durham I have no records, probably because it is so plentiful. 

 Mr. Gardner says it is to be found wherever there is sallow. 

 I have taken it freely both in Castle Eden and Hezleden 

 Denes.

The larva feeds on oak and whitethorn, and the insect occurs 

 throughout both counties, though I have not many records. 

 It is given in the list Mr. Maling published in the Transactions 

 for 1875, p. 281, the only Northumberland notice I have met 

 with. Mr. Wailes took it at Gibside, and recorded it (as 

 Commtmana) in Stephens' Illustrations, vol. iv., p. 140. Mr. 

 Backhouse records it from HofPall AVood (as Commtmana, the 

 name used in Stephens), where he says the larva feeds on oak 

 galls. Mr. Sang got it around Darlington, and Mr. Gardner 

 has taken it at Edder Acres near Hartlepool.

The only record I have of this species is that Mr. Finlay 



took it on Needless Hall Moor, where it was always scarce. 



There is no record of it for Durham. It should be looked for 



among fir trees.
