,264 CATALOGUE OF MOTSS. 



SO large and generally distributed an insect should have remained 

 undetected till then. It is well distributed in our district, and 

 only needs looking for to be found elsewhere than the localities 

 I give. Mr. Bolam ''took two specimens in June, 1887; one 

 in the flower garden at Twizell House, the other on Doddington 

 Moor" (Tran. Ber. P. Club, vol. xv., p. 301). Mr. Finlay 

 found it in Coal Law Wood, but seldom plentiful. Mr. Rhagg 

 got it at Chopwell ; Mr. Greenwell at Bishop Auckland ; Mr. 

 Sang at Darlington (12th June, 1872). We get it regularly in 

 Hezleden Dene, not very rare ; and Mr. Gardner has also met 

 Avith it in Upper Teesdale.

I took a solitary specimen of this rather distinct Pug on the 



railway side at Hartlepool on 18th July, 1876. We appear to 



be rather beyond the range of the species. It is common at 



York, but I know of no more northerly station for it. The 



larva is not confined to one plant for food, but will eat Yarrow, 



Bagwort, Golden-rod, &c. The insect is named after Pimpinel, 



but the Eev. H. Harper Crewe doubted if it fed upon it. He, 



at all events, could never find that it did so. Our collectors in 



the Derwent Valley, and towards Hexham, are, 1 think, the 



most likely to find the species.
