CA.TA.LO&TJE OP MOTHS. 183 



A scarce species, widely distributed, but occurring so spar- 

 ingly, that they might almost be thought stray specimens. Mr. 

 rinlay took single examples in several parts of his district ; Mr. 

 Hedworth took three in all at sugar at Thornley. Those he gave 

 to Mr. "Wasserman and they are now in the Museum. Mr. Ross 

 took four in all at Bishop Auckland, and Mr. Gardner got one 

 in 1896 at sugar near Hezleden Dene.

 A scarce species and not met with recently. Mr. Henderson 

 took one at Jesmond many years ago. At Hartlepool it came to 

 Campion flowers regularly from 1873 to 1877, sometimes only 

 singly. In 1876 I took two on 5th May, the earliest date here, 

 and two on 13th June, the latest. It was most numerous in 

 1875, in which year Mr. Gardner found a brood of larva feeding 

 on "Wild Chamomile and reared them. Since 1877 I have not 

 heard of its occurrence. 



{C. Ahsinthii is in the Twizell list but it is an extremely 

 unlikely species to occur there, and is probably an error for 

 Chamomilla),
