A very rare and local species. It is in the Twizell list; 

 Mr. Finlay found it very sparingly in Coal Law Wood ; Mr. 

 Sang got it in the neighbourhood of Darlington; and Mr. 

 Gardner got it in Upper Teesdale, though not commonly. It 

 will doubtless be found elsewhere.

Pairly common and well distributed in both counties, but 

 does not appear to occur near the sea. Mr. Bolam says, ''My 

 only specimen is from Adderston Hall, where Mr. John Bruce 

 had several specimens in 1884. Selby records it from Twizell, 

 which adjoins Adderton " (Tran. Ber. F. Club, vol. xv., p. 300). 

 Mr. Finlay found it in Coal Law Wood and elsewhere, always 

 local, but not rare where it occurred; Miss Rosie took it at 

 Kenton, her brother bred it from pupse taken near Alston, and 

 got the perfect insect at Stocksfield, and near Dalton, by 

 Ponteland. Mr. Maling met with the species in Chopwell 

 "Wood in July, 1875 ; Mr. Hed worth at Gibside and Thornley ; 

 Mr. Backhouse at Shotley ; Mr. Sang in Coniscliffe Lane, near 

 Darlington, in July, 1854; Mr. Ross and Mr. Greenwell both 

 found it about Bishop Auckland, "fairly common," and Mr. 

 Gardner got it in Upper Teesdale, **not common." We never 

 got it around Hartlepool, and it will be noticed there are no 

 localities given that approach the coast.
