There are but two localities within the area under notice, where 
this insect has occurred; one in Cornwall, the other in Devonshire. 
It is said to be " not uncommon " in the Cornish habitat, and it 
was certainly most plentiful on Dartmoor. The nature of the 
place, however, precludes one from obtaining it easily.
