Generally distributed and no doubt plentiful in most or all 

 woods, but I have comparatively few records. Mr. Finlay 

 found it in all the woods he collected in, and always common ; 

 Miss Eosie got it at Kenton, where I also took it freely many 

 years ago ; her brother took it at Brunton, and more numerously 

 in Dipton "Wood; Mr. Henderson found it at Jesmond. Mr. 

 Hedworth met with it abundantly about Gibside, Thornley, 

 Chopwell, and other woods in that district. Mr. Greenwell 

 found it rarely in the woods about Bishop Auckland. At 

 Hartlepool it may be taken regularly on tree trunks in the 

 denes and woods, and also on the wing. It is a lovely insect 

 when fresh, but like all green insects it quickly looses its 

 colour.

This pretty species ought to occur in all the woods and denes 

 where Lychnis diurna (Bed Lychnis) grows freely, but the 

 records I have met with are not very numerous. The Rivulata 

 of the Twizell list is probably this species, though the name 

 has also been applied to the next. Mr. Patterson found it at 

 Ebchester ; Mr. Wailes recorded it from Meldon Park in 

 Stephens' Illustrations (vol. iii., p. 297). Mr. Finlay did not 

 meet with it there, though he found the next freely. Mr. Bosie 

 took a few at Stocksfield. In Durham records are equally few.
