  BRITISH 
  LEPIDOPTERA. 
  

  

  records 
  it 
  as 
  occurring 
  among 
  Tussilago 
  at 
  Ziirichberg, 
  but 
  this 
  must 
  

   be 
  merely 
  due 
  to 
  this 
  plant 
  growing 
  among 
  its 
  foodplant 
  in 
  its 
  locality 
  

   here. 
  At 
  Brussa 
  it 
  inhabits 
  the 
  mountain 
  slopes 
  and 
  meadows 
  (Mann). 
  

   In 
  Belgium 
  it 
  is 
  little 
  known, 
  but 
  Crombrugghe 
  de 
  Picquendaele 
  finds 
  

   it 
  commonly 
  among 
  Hieraciwn 
  by 
  the 
  roadside, 
  at 
  the 
  cross-roads 
  at 
  

   Velthem, 
  between 
  Brussels 
  and 
  Louvain. 
  Zeller 
  observes 
  that, 
  at 
  

   Meseritz, 
  in 
  Posen, 
  it 
  lives 
  in 
  dry 
  sandy 
  places 
  where 
  Hieracium 
  pilosella 
  

   grows 
  abundantly 
  ; 
  whilst 
  near 
  Glogau 
  it 
  is 
  abundant, 
  occurring, 
  not 
  

   infrequently, 
  in 
  company 
  with 
  0. 
  pilosellae, 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  June 
  and 
  in 
  

   July, 
  on 
  somewhat 
  dry 
  but 
  fertile 
  spots, 
  where 
  its 
  foodplant, 
  Hieracuan 
  

   piloxella, 
  grows 
  commonly. 
  Near 
  Jena 
  it 
  occurs 
  frequently* 
  in 
  the 
  

   mountains 
  (Schlager) 
  ; 
  in 
  Mecklenburg 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  found 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  places 
  as 
  0. 
  pilosellae 
  (Stange) 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  Rhine 
  

   Provinces 
  with 
  0. 
  pilosellae, 
  in 
  dry 
  sandy 
  places 
  (Stollwerck). 
  In 
  

   Roumania 
  it 
  occurs, 
  rarely, 
  on 
  hillsides 
  and 
  high 
  pastures 
  (Caradja). 
  

   In 
  the 
  Netherlands 
  it 
  usually 
  frequents 
  heaths, 
  e.g., 
  at 
  Soest 
  (Snellen).
