(partim). 



An abundant species, swarming about beech everywhere, the 

 larvae feeding in the leaves. It is marked in the " Manual " as 

 being abundant both at N"ewcastle-on-Tyne and at Darlington.

 counties, the paucity of records being an evidence in this case

 as occurring at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and being abundant at 

 Darlington. Mr. Hodgkinson reports it from West Northum- 

 berland, and Mr. Finlay found it not uncommon in Coal Law 

 Wood. In Durham Mr. Sang got it at Barnard Castle, and Mr. 

 Gardner says it " swarms in Hezleden Dene."|
