"Widely distributed, and occurring among fir trees, on which 

 the larva feeds. Mr. Hodgkiuson reported it from the west of 

 Northumberland; and Mr. Finlay met with it on Needless Eall 

 Moor, not very uncommonly. Mr. Sang got it at High Force, 

 on ConisclifiPe Moor, and near Darlington, at various dates in 

 August, down to 1885. A single specimen was taken by Mr. 

 Gardner in Ilezleden Dene in 1899.

A very local insect. Fifty years ago only two specimens 

 were known. Meyrick now gives its distribution as "Kent to 

 Hereford and Norfolk, Westmoreland." To this I add North- 

 umberland. Mr. Finlay took it regularly, and not rarely on 

 Needless Hall Moor.

Not a common species here at all. So far as I know it has 

 only been taken by Mr. Gardner in Hezleden Dene. It ought 

 to be much more generally distributed. The larva is said to 

 feed on folded leaves of Ranunculus ficaria^ which abounds 

 everywhere. I understand however that but a single collector 

 has found the larva there. Mr. Gardner believes that the larva 

 feeds on elm {Ulmus\ and that any found on pilewort had 

 fallen from the tree on which they fed.
