206 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



Henderson took a single example at Jesmond, and Mr. Sang 

 took one on a lamp in Darlington on 9th. September, 1855. 

 ''Da" is given in the Manual, but it probably refers to Mr. 

 Sang's capture.

Though this species is generally commoner than the last, and 

 recorded from localities further to the north, I do not consider 

 our counties to be really within its range. The occurrence of 

 two specimens only have been noticed here. The first was taken 

 in August, 1873, by my son, the late P. W. Eobson, on some 

 palings between the Hartlepool cemetery and the sea, which, 

 while they stood, afforded shelter for many species, blown sea- 

 wards, of which we never found the natural habitat. The second 

 specimen was taken by the late W. Maling in September, 1875, 

 in Thornley Wood. This was an undoubted native, for it had 

 just emerged from pupa, and the wings were quite limp when 

 he found it, a proof that the larva had fed there, but the species 

 does not appear to have been met with again.

This is the commonest species of the genius, but it is far 

 from plentiful in the north of England. The only locality given 

 in Dr. Ellis' Catalogue for Lancashire and Cheshire, is Manches- 

 ter, where it is rare. Mr. Porritt gives several in Yorkshire, 

 but it does not appear to be common in any of them, nor to 

 occur at all north of York. In our district it has only been met 

 with in the Derwent Yalley, where Mr. Hedworth took several
