288 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



This pretty species is very widely distributed, but appears to 

 be rare everywhere. It is much commoner in Yorkshire, and 

 I think it scarcely maintains itself with us. Mr. Finlay met 

 with it in Meldon Park, but never commonly ; Mr. Henderson 

 took it at Jesmond ; I^ewcastle is a Manual locality ; Mr. Rhagg 

 got it at Corbridge and in Thornley "Woods, Mr. Hedworth took 

 one at Winlaton Mill in 1871, Mr. Sang found it at Darlington, 

 which is a Manual locality ; and Mr. Gardner and I have taken 

 it in Hezleden Dene, always very sparingly, and nearly always 

 where the railway embankment crosses the Dene. It occa- 

 sionally sits on tree trunks.

Laeva. Buck , vol. viii., pi. cxl., fig. 6. 

 Widely distributed over both counties, but not by any means 

 common, and only met with in small numbers where it occurs. 

 Mr. Bolam says, ''This is another pretty moth which occurs 

 with M. ocellata^ C. populata, etc., at a considerable elevation 

 upon the Cheviots, and is not uncommon about Langleyford. 

 I have also taken it on Coldingham Moor, and occasionally in 

 Berwick " (Trans. Ber. F. Club, vol. xv., p. 301). It is given 

 in the Twizell list ; Mr. Finlay found it scarce at ISfeedless Hall 

 Moor. It was taken at Muckle Moss (see Trans., vol. v., p. 9) ; 

 Mr. Maling got it at !N"ewbiggen-by-the-Sea, but not plentiful. 

 From Durham I have fewer records, and only in the southern 

 part of the county. Darlington is a "Manual" locality — one 

 of seven — Mr. Backhouse took it there, and Mr. Sang got 

 it at Hell Kettles, which is within a few miles. Mr. Sibson 

 took it near Stockton-on-Tees. Mr. Lofthouse met with 

 single specimens on the swampy ground near Bellingham. 

 About Hartlepool it is decidedly scarce, and I have only 

 taken odd specimens, except at the Bleachery, Castle Eden, 

 where it occurred freely. Mr. Gardner has also taken it
