Apparently a rare species, Lut probably only so because its 

 habits are little known ; where they have been found they were 

 numerous enough. Upsilon is in the Twizell list, but I have 

 no other Northumberland record till we reach N^ewcastle, where 

 all the collectors have taken it. Mr. Maling " bred a quantity 

 from larvae found under the bark of Willows in Jesmond Dene." 

 So in Durham there are no records except that Dr. Lees took it 

 at Lenton Fall Wood, Upper Teesdale, and that we met with 

 odd specimens around Hartlepool occasionally ; Mr. Gardner also 

 found the larvae not uncommon at Greatham.

Exceedingly scarce and very local Mr. Tinlay took it at 

 Heather blossom at Coal Law Wood ; Mr. Eoss has taken one at 

 Bishop Auckland ; we get it occasionally at Hartlepool, but I 

 doubt if I have taken half a dozen in forty years ; Mr. Gardner 

 has met with it at Hezleden Dene also.
