Rather a common species generally, and extending far into 

 Scotland. Here it has, so far, only been taken in Headley 

 Lane, Darlington, by the late John Sang. The food plant, 

 however, is only recorded for a few places in Durham and none 

 in Northumberland.

Eather a common species, and fairly plentiful in most places. 

 Mr. Finlay says it is "■ generally distributed and sometimes 

 plentiful." Mr. Maling recorded it in the Transactions for 

 1875, p. 281. Mr. Sang got it about Darlington, and it occurs 

 in most places around Hartlepool.

nearly fifty years ago. The larva is not known.

Not generally a scarce species, but only occurring here in 

 Castle Eden and Hezleden Denes among burdock, on which the 

 larva feeds. Meyrick says in the stems and roots ; Mr. Gardner 

 says in the seeds. I believe it really feeds on the seeds, but 

 pupates near the roots.
