   sides 
  of

  and 
  roads, 
  also 
  fields,

   rocky 
  places, 
  and 
  quarries,

  as 
  occurring 
  

   on

  and 
  at 
  

   the

  records 
  it 
  as 
  very 
  

   abundant 
  on 
  a 
  piece 
  of 
  swampy 
  ground 
  at 
  Newbury.

  occurs 
  on 
  

   the

  small 
  stream 
  near

  (Home), 
  on 
  a 
  railway 
  bank 
  

   at

  Hill 
  (South), 
  on

  Bankes 
  notes 
  (in 
  litt.) 
  : 
  il 
  The 
  imagines 
  have 
  occurred 
  to 
  me 
  

   in 
  four 
  different 
  spots 
  inside, 
  and 
  one 
  just 
  outside, 
  the 
  Isle 
  of 
  Purbeck. 
  

   The 
  specimens 
  have 
  been 
  taken 
  on 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  soils, 
  including 
  lime- 
  

   stone, 
  stiff 
  clay, 
  and 
  gravel." 
  Near 
  Carlisle, 
  it 
  occurs 
  on 
  grassy 
  borders 
  

   of 
  moors 
  amongst

  (Day). 
  Sorhagen 
  says 
  that, 
  at 
  Hamburg, 
  he 
  

   captured 
  G. 
  pallidactyla 
  {bertrami) 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  ground 
  where 
  G. 
  ochrodac- 
  

   tyla 
  occurs, 
  the 
  former, 
  however, 
  always 
  resting 
  on 
  Artemisia 
  vulgaris, 
  

   whilst 
  the 
  latter 
  confines 
  its 
  attention 
  to 
  Tanacetum 
  . 
  At 
  Wiesbaden, 
  

   the 
  insect 
  is 
  common 
  on 
  Achillea 
  ptarmica, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  borders 
  of 
  woods 
  

   it 
  appears 
  to 
  frequent 
  Achillea 
  millefolium 
  (Bossier). 
  Near 
  Friedland, 
  

   it 
  occurs 
  in 
  a
