To Mr. Mathew is due the credit of making X. scolopacina 
a west country insect. Until this Lepidopterist observed it near 
Barnstaple, in 1857, the species was considered a North British 
insect. It is common however in the neighbourhood of Barnstaple? 
and the Rev. Mr. Hellins has recently obtained it in his garden 
at Exeter, thus showing that its range is more extended than had 
been suspected.
