 A single specimen of this insect was taken by Mr. Gardner 

 this autumn (1898) at sugar near Hezleden Dene. It is a com- 

 mon species in the south of England, but rarely reaches York- 

 shire. We cannot look for more than stray examples of it here.

fig. 1. 

 Apparently a rare species, but it will probably be found in 

 many places where there is an abundance of Poplar. The larva 

 conceals itself by spinning two leaves together, and is not easily 

 seen nor beaten out. At present there are but two localties — 

 Darlington, where Mr. Backheuse met with it, and a Poplar 

 wood near Hezleden, where Mr. Gardner and I found larvae. I 

 got only one and failed to rear it; he found two and reared 

 one of them. We have never taken the imago.
