  BRITISH 
  LEPIDOPTERA. 
  

  

  ness 
  ; 
  no 
  doubt 
  the 
  insect 
  occurs 
  all 
  over 
  this 
  district, 
  but 
  I 
  usually 
  

   collect 
  it 
  in 
  this 
  old 
  brickfield 
  near 
  Shoeburyness, 
  where 
  centaury 
  is 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  commonest 
  plants 
  (Whittle) 
  ; 
  at 
  Broxbourne, 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  

   sheltered 
  spot 
  on 
  the 
  Boulder 
  Clay, 
  surrounded 
  by 
  woodland 
  

   (Bacot) 
  ; 
  on 
  very 
  dry 
  sandy 
  wastes 
  on 
  the 
  coast, 
  and 
  inland, 
  where 
  

   vegetation 
  is 
  scanty, 
  but 
  Erythraea 
  centaur 
  ium 
  common, 
  in 
  the 
  Isle 
  

   of 
  Purbeck 
  (Bankes). 
  Schmid 
  notes 
  that 
  in 
  Hesse-Darmstadt 
  it 
  

   occurs 
  in 
  dry 
  places, 
  where 
  there 
  is, 
  however, 
  plenty 
  of 
  vegetation 
  — 
  

   near 
  Frankfort-on-Main, 
  the 
  insect 
  occurs 
  on 
  the 
  Babenhauser 
  highway, 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  Ginheimer 
  Wood, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  Bieberer 
  height, 
  near 
  

   Offenbach. 
  In 
  Mecklenburg, 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  a 
  plantation 
  of 
  young 
  trees, 
  

   in 
  the 
  Sandhager 
  pinewood 
  (Stange) 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  Bhine 
  Provinces, 
  also 
  it 
  

   is 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  woods 
  of 
  the 
  Bergheim 
  district 
  (Stollwerck) 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  

   Wiirttemberg,

  Haide
