  Habitat. 
  — 
  In 
  England, 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  southern 
  wood 
  species, 
  living 
  by 
  the 
  

   side 
  of 
  the 
  wide 
  ridings 
  in 
  woods 
  near 
  Folkestone 
  in 
  Kent, 
  Lynrnouth 
  

   in 
  Devon, 
  and 
  Penzance 
  in 
  Cornwall, 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  two 
  localities 
  being 
  

   abundant, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  little 
  known 
  in 
  this 
  country, 
  and 
  is 
  probably 
  much 
  

   overlooked. 
  South 
  notes 
  that, 
  in 
  North 
  Devon, 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  woody 
  

   hollows 
  near 
  the 
  sea, 
  where, 
  in 
  its 
  more 
  western 
  locality 
  (from 
  Lynrnouth), 
  

   there 
  is 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  golden-rod. 
  bilberry, 
  heather, 
  and 
  other 
  kinds 
  

   of 
  herbage, 
  including 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  Compositae, 
  which 
  he 
  suspected 
  

   might 
  be 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  moth, 
  as 
  it 
  only 
  seemed 
  to 
  occur 
  where 
  

   the 
  plant 
  grew 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  locality 
  (from 
  Lynrnouth) 
  this 
  plant 
  was 
  

   observed 
  but 
  golden-rod 
  not. 
  In 
  the 
  alps 
  of 
  central 
  Europe 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  

   not 
  uncommon 
  , 
  preferring 
  apparently 
  mountains 
  of 
  moderate 
  el 
  evation 
  up 
  

   to 
  about 
  5000ft., 
  although 
  sometimes 
  going 
  much 
  higher, 
  since 
  Jordan 
  

   states 
  (Ent. 
  Mo. 
  Mag., 
  xvi., 
  p. 
  25) 
  that 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  fields 
  beyond 
  the 
  

   church 
  at 
  Zermatt, 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  Eiffelberg 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  way 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  

   Schwarz-See. 
  It 
  occurs 
  freely 
  in 
  the 
  mountains 
  of 
  Scandinavia, 
  

   extending 
  into 
  Finmark 
  and 
  Lapland 
  ; 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  particularly 
  

   abundant 
  in 
  the 
  Kiesengebirge 
  in 
  Silesia, 
  in 
  the 
  Tyrol 
  we 
  found 
  it 
  on 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  little 
  mountain 
  paths 
  that 
  branch 
  off 
  into 
  the 
  woods 
  of 
  

   the 
  Mendelstrasse, 
  not 
  far 
  below 
  the 
  Mendel 
  Pass 
  (Tutt) 
  ; 
  in 
  Fin- 
  

   mark 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  Scaaddavara, 
  where 
  there 
  was 
  plenty 
  

   of 
  Solidago 
  but 
  no 
  Senecio 
  (Wocke). 
  Rossler 
  notes 
  the 
  capture 
  

   of 
  a 
  freshly- 
  emerged 
  example, 
  June 
  1st, 
  1862, 
  in 
  the 
  pinewood 
  

   south 
  of 
  Dotzheim, 
  where 
  it 
  flew 
  just 
  above 
  the 
  ground 
  among 
  Senecio 
  

   sylvaticus, 
  and 
  adds 
  that 
  it 
  tried 
  to 
  hide 
  itself 
  under 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  this 
  plant. 
  

   In 
  Silesia, 
  it 
  occurs 
  all 
  over 
  the 
  Kiesengebirge 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  summits 
  of 
  the 
  

   mountains 
  at 
  3500 
  ft., 
  but 
  is 
  very 
  rare 
  in 
  the 
  plains, 
  Wocke 
  having 
  

   once 
  taken 
  an 
  odd 
  specimen 
  at 
  Lissa 
  in 
  July 
  ; 
  it 
  also 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  foot- 
  

   hills 
  of 
  Upper 
  Lusatia 
  (Sommer), 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  Oderwitzer 
  Spitzberg, 
  a 
  

   basalt 
  cone 
  of 
  1574ft. 
  elevation, 
  near 
  Herrenhuth 
  (Moschler) 
  ; 
  common 
  

   on 
  the 
  Probsthainer 
  Spitzberger, 
  in 
  sunny 
  places, 
  flying 
  about 
  rasp- 
  

   berry 
  canes 
  (Herrich-Schaffer), 
  in 
  Baden, 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  mountains 
  

   at 
  Freiburg, 
  always 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Senecio 
  nemoremn 
  (Reutti). 
  In 
  

   Lower 
  Austria, 
  it 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Prater, 
  in 
  damp 
  clayey 
  spots 
  near 
  

   streams, 
  in 
  Liesing, 
  Rodaun, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  Eichkogl 
  (Mann) 
  ; 
  yet 
  

   Peyerimhoff 
  took 
  it 
  at 
  an 
  elevation 
  of 
  2500 
  metres 
  on 
  the 
  Furka.
