says, ''The town (Kewcastle-on-Tyne) in June. I have only 

 taken the black variety." Mr. D. Rosie took it at Kenton, 

 and also at Swalwell ; Dr. Lees informed me it was common in 

 gardens in Upper Teesdale ; Darlington is given in the Manual ; 

 Mr. Taylor got it at Dalton Percy, where I found it rather 

 common, and also at Elwick, two villages near Hartlepool. My 

 specimens were rather dark green, but did not approach the 

 black variety, Nigrosericeata, which is common about N^ew- 

 castle.

Decidedly a rare species here, and occurring only about 

 Newcastle, especially in the productive region to the west of 

 that city. The Manual says it has occurred at JSTewcastle. I 

 have not been able to trace the authority, but Mr. Finlay took 

 a single specimen in Meldon Park, where Mr. Wailes often 

 collected, and perhaps he met with the insect there. The late 

 Mr. Maling had two in his collection that were taken at 

 Gibside, where Mr. Hedworth found the species in considerable 

 numbers in June, 1881, at rest on the trunks of Beech trees. 

 (See also Ento., vol. xiv., p. 259). It has not been recorded 

 since nor elsewhere. The larva feeds on Privet, Holly, Ivy, &c.
