Not an uncommon species, but more abundant in the south 

 than in the north. Meyrick indeed limits its range to York, 

 which is not very far wrong, so far as I know, as the only 

 record I have of its appearance beyond that county is that Mr. 

 Sang found larvae at Darlington, the extreme south of Durham, 

 on August l3th, 1874. The larvae feed on oak, and apparently 

 spin the leaves together for concealment.

It would appear that the Adornatella and Suhornatella of 

 Leech, plate 12, figs. 2 and 3, are now considered to be one 

 species. Dilutella is given in Stainton's Manual with four 

 localities, including Bristol and Edinburgh. Suhornatella was 

 introduced as a new species in the Entomologist's Annual for 

 1869 as taken "last season" by Mr. Greening, of Warrington. 

 The only claim the insect has to appear here is that Mr. Sang 

 records having taken it on 27th June, 1859, near Darlington. 

 The curious point is that in his Diary it appears as ^'■Suhor- 

 natella,''^ a name not apparently applied to it as a British insect 

 till nine years afterwards.

This insect is rather common about Hartlepool in July, 

 occurring not only at Black Hall Eocks, where there is a little 

 heather, but on the sand hills and levelled ballast, where there
