292 CATALOGTJE OF MOTHS. 



berland, and the ^^ E'e " of the '' Manual " refers to this Tyne- 

 mouth record. Since then Mr. Eales took it at South Shields 

 " at flowers of Ragwort," but again I have no information as to 

 number. Their occurrence at Ragwort showed they were 

 newly emerged specimens. Mr. Hedworth took two hyber- 

 nated specimens at Dunston in 1868. Mr. Ross took one at 

 Bishop Auckland ; Mr. Sang took it at Darlington also at 

 Ragwort, which is another " Manual " locality. At Hartlepool 

 I took one on 30th May, 1876, on the Cemetery palings, another 

 on 26th May the following year, and a third, much worn, on a 

 garden wall at West Hartlepool on 29th June the same year— 

 an exceedingly late date for a hybernated specimen. Mr. 

 Gardner also has taken one or two at Hart Station, but he has 

 given me no dates.

The late R. W. Merryweather took a single specimen of this 

 insect on the palings by the Railway side at Hartlepool in 

 1864 (see also E. M. M., vol. i , p. 144). It can only have 

 been a stray specimen, as the species does not extend north of 

 York. The larva feeds on Bei^heris vulgaris, which is a very 

 rare plant in these counties (see Trans., vol. ii., p. 119).

This pretty species is represented by a stray specimen taken
