Very few notices of the capture of this species have reached 

 me, but it is widely distributed, and probably only needs 

 looking for to be found in all suitable localities. Mr. Bolam 

 writes — '' Does not appear to be very common, I have only two 

 local specimens. One of these from Ragwort on Cheswick 

 Links on 19th August, 1888 ; the other from Kyloe in August, 

 1891 " (Trans. Ber. JSTat. Club, vol. xv., p. 299). Mr. Pinlay 

 found it "scarce" at Meldon Park; Mr. D. Eosie found it near 

 Dinnington and at Eyton. Mr. Hedworth reported it as 

 ''common at Thornley, Axwell, etc." Dr. Lees, "!N'ot un- 

 common in Upper Teesdale." Mr. Gardner says, "Hartlepool, 

 railway side." I have found it there and on the level ballasted 

 ground beyond the Cemetery, also regularly in Hezleden Dene 

 west of the railway. It is given in the Manual both for 

 Newcastle and Darlington.

Generally commoner than the last, and probably so in these 

 counties, though the records are but few. Mr. Finlay took it 

 in Meldon Park, but never found it plentiful ; Mr. Henderson 

 met with it at Jesmond. These are the only !N"orthumberland 

 records I have. Mr. Hedworth took it about Thornley, Axwell, 

 etc., wherever he looked for it, and never scarce. Mr. Sibson 

 found it about Stockton, and Mr. Lofthouse got it lower down 

 the Tees on the Salt Marsh at Greatham ; Mr. Gardner took it 

 freely on the railway side at Hartlepool. I have found it there
