300 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



In all the lists. Common everywhere, perhaps most abundant 

 on the coast. This is an example of the inappropriateness of 

 English names. There is no possible reason for associating it 

 with Mallow.

 Common in all suitable localities. The larva eats Heath and 

 Clover, and can find food anywhere. It is in all the lists. 

 About Hartlepool it is common on waste land and rough 

 pastures, but I have not seen it in lanes or woods.

 This moth appears to be most abundant on Magnesian Lime- 

 stone, only two localities being given for it on Mountain 

 Limestone, viz., Twizell, where it is recorded by Mr. Selby, 

 and Cotherstone where Dr. Lees found it on dry limestone 

 cliffs. It is abundant on the Durham coast from Marsden to 

 Hartlepool, occurring freely also in Crimdon Cut, and on an 

 open bank in Hezleden Dene. It flies at twilight, but is so 

 active by day that it flies up at once as the collector 

 approaches. The imago prefers to rest on the bare ground.
