Generally distributed over both counties but not common, and 

 only recorded by a few collectors. The species is on the Twi- 

 zell list as Secalina ; Mr. Maling found larvae in Jesmond Dene 

 in April, and bred the imago. Mr. Hedworth took it at Thorn- 

 ley, and rather freely at Duuston ; and it is on the Manual list 

 for Darlington. At Hartlepool it occurs occasionally at sugar, 

 sometimes in considerable numbers. Mr. Gardner has also taken 

 it at Greatham and in Hezleden Dene.
