 Not a very common species in either county, but widely 

 distributed in both. Mr. Bolam says '' since I recorded this 

 species in 1886 from near Scremerston, I have taken several 

 examples in that locality, and on 22nd August, 1895, I took 

 one among the Sallows in Newham Bog. No doubt it would 

 be found in other suitable places in the district if carefully 

 worked for." (Trans. Ber. Nat. Club, vol. xv., p. 299). The 

 insect is not mentioned in the Twizell list, but Mr. Pinlay 

 found it in Coal Law Wood, ''not common." Mr. Henderson 

 took it at Jesmond ; Mr. Sticks got the imago "sparingly" at 

 Stocksfield-on-Tyne, and Mr. David Rosie got larva, pupa, and 

 imago at the same time, "West of Newcastle-on-Tyne." In 

 Durham Mr. Greenwell found it at Witton-le-Wear ; Mr. Sang 

 got it among Willows at the river side near Darlington, and at 

 lamps in the town. Darlington is also a "Manual" locality, 

 and Mr. Backhouse captured the species in his garden there. 

 Dr. Lees reported it from ' ' Dpper Teesdale, not uncommon 

 about the Fairy Knoll and the Sweet Bits." We took it at 

 Throston Carrs near Hartlepool until the place was drained in 

 1874. Mr. Gardner found one on his house window in Groves 

 Street, and he has also taken it near Hart Station.
