 Another widely distributed species, also rarely seen except as 

 a larva. It is in the Twizell list. Mr. Finlay found it at Old 

 Park, Ketherwitton., but never plentiful; Mr. Henderson got it at 

 Jesmond ; Mr. Maling obtained larvae at Sweethope in Septem- 

 ber, 1869, both on Birch and Alder; Mr. Sang found larvae at 

 High Force on 28th August, 1873, and also at Castle Eden, 

 where 'Mr. C. Trechmann, Junr., found it in 1897. It is not 

 very uncommon in Hezleden Dene and other places about Hartle- 

 pool, where I think it is oftenest found on Hazel.

 in Upper Teesdale. I know of no others.
