Eather a local species, and here reported once only from each 

 county. Mr. Hodgkinson met with it in "West Northumberland, 

 and Mr. Sang found larvae at Hell Kettles, near Darlington, in 

 leaves of alder. The ''Manual" marks it as occurring at 

 Darlington.

This "would appear to be strictly a south and east of England 

 species, but Mr. Sang records it in his diary as taken in Headley 

 Lane, near Darlington, on 26th June, 1859. There is no subse- 

 quent entry of the insect, the only food plant of which is 

 viper's bugloss {Echhim vulgare).

Rather a common species, but not ranging very far to the 

 north. I have no notice of it in Northumberland, and for 

 Durham only that Mr. Backhouse got it at Shotley, except the 

 *' Manual" note that it is abundant at Darlington. I expect 

 it will occur in most parts of the district. There is no notice 

 in Sang's diary, but that is generally the case with abundant 

 species, and I learn from Mr. Bankes that Sang certainly 

 obtained the insect freely.* 



* This species is common about the cherry trees in Mr. C. 0. 

 Trechmanu's garden at Hud worth Tower, Castle Eden. — J. G,
