Synopsia ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 267. 



Larva. Buek., vol. vii., pi. cxi., fig. 1. 



This species is marked '' Da " in Stainton's Manual, but I do 

 not know on what authority. It is not in either Sang's Diary 

 or Mr. Backhouse's Lists. I took a solitary specimen on the 

 Cemetery palings at Hartlepool on 22nd April, 1874, and another 

 the following year, I know of no others, but expect it will 

 turn up some day.

This species is also marked "Da" in the •* Manual," but I 

 have been unable to ascertain on what authority. It occurs in 

 all the neighbouring counties, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, 

 Cumberland, and is, I think, such a probable species to be found 

 here that I have included it on the strength of the Manual record 

 only. Dr. Ellis says it usually occurs in the neighbourhood of 

 old orchards, but it may be sought for in any place where the 

 trees are well covered with Lichens. Pear-tree, Oak, Elm, and 

 Poplar are all named as affording food for the larva, and JS^ew- 

 man says he found twenty in 1859 on Lichens on park palings. 

 I am not aware that the larva has been found on Wall Lichens,
