 Decidedly a rare insect in these counties, though it is probably 

 often passed over as orhona, from which it is best distinguished 

 by having a distinct black spot on the costa at the commence- 

 ment of the subterminal line, which is wanting in the commoner 

 species. Subsequa is in the Twizell list, but the specimens have 

 been removed from the collection. Mr. Finlay found it occa- 

 sionally in Coal Law Wood ; Mr. Maling took one at !Newbiggin- 

 by-the-Sea in July, 1868, and Mr. Gardner took one at Hezleden 

 Dene at sugar in 1896.

 Among the commonest of our Koctuae, occurring everywhere 

 and in considerable abundance. It haunts the sugared patches 

 till quite the end of summer, and on unfavourable nights is often 

 the only insect to appear, coming freely when even Polyodon 

 fails. It is very variable, but all the forms occur everywhere. 

 It is in all the lists, I therefore omit localities.
