 Worthing (Fletcher) . Wales : North Wales (Walker). [It may be here noticed that 

 there is no absolutely reliable record of this species for Scotland or Ireland. 

 Birchall gives it as local in Galway, Kirby gives it as inhabiting the West Shannon 

 district (Connaught), Partridge mentions it as occurring at Enniskillen, June 2nd, 

 1893, and it has been recorded from Armagh, but Kane thinks with us, that all 

 these want confirmation, and that the specimens captured were probably A. lonicerae, 

 a common Irish species. A. trifolii has been recorded from Forfar, and Dunsmore 

 mentions that it is reported from Ayrshire, but these also want confirmation.] Luff 

 mentions its occurrence in Sark, Herm and Guernsey. 



Distribution.— Africa : North-west Africa (Staudinger). Asia: 

 Obi and Yenesei districts (Erschoff), Amasia and Tokat (Speyer), 

 Pontus (Staudinger), Altai mts. (Kindermann). Austria : Heiligenblut

 gary (Boisduval), WestGalicia, Lemberg,Lanckorona,etc.(Garbowski).
