and was surrounded by nursery gardens and fields. The speci- 

 mens were named by Mr. Sang, who had some of them. The 

 larva feeds in roots of Stachys arvensis, and the insect should 

 be looked for where that occurs.

Eather a common species generally, but not yet recorded for 

 Northumberland. Mr. Sang got it at Dinsdale Wood, near 

 Middleton-one-Eow, and Mr. Gardner has taken it at Greatham. 

 I have no further records at present.

Not a very common species, and in these counties only taken 

 by Mr. Sang, who found it at Hell Kettles, near Darlington. 

 The larva feeds in the roots of Stachys arvensis, and pupates 

 therein. The plant has been found in many places over both 

 counties.

 I have no Northumberland records for this species, and in 

 Durham only for Castle Eden Dene and places near Darlington. 

 The larva is said to feed on Genista tinetoria. I only know 

 one station for this plant in the Hartlepool district, a meadow 

 near Black Hall Rocks, but there is so little of it there that 

 it is not likely to produce any moths. Mr. Barrett has reared 

 this insect from an orchid.
