For this rare and very distinct insect there are, in Devon and 
Cornwall, three widely separated districts in which it is found. In 
1855-6 the larva was found near Wembury, feeding on wormwood; 
Dr. Cocks records it as occurring at Falmouth ; and Mr. Dorville, 
by cultivating the food plant, has been enabled to procure the spe- 
cies at Alphington.
