This species frequents wet meadows and boggy places. Mr. 

 "Wailes recorded it from Prestwick Carr in Stephens' Illustra- 

 tions (Haust., vol. iv., p. 321), and I took a single specimen 

 myself near Angerton Station, on the North British Railway, 

 when with the late Mr. Pinlay. These are all the Northum- 

 berland records. In Durham I only know that both Mr. 

 Gardner and I have taken it in a few boggy places around 

 Hartlepool, and that Mr. Backhouse got it near Darlington. 

 It extends locally into Scotland, and even reaches the Shetlands, 

 so it is likely to occur in suitable places in both counties.

This is a southern species, and rather local there, but it is 

 recorded in the Transactions of the Society in "Notes on the 

 occurrence of Lepidoptera in Northumberland and Durham in 

 1874, by William Maling." " Crambus uliginosellus (a very 

 local species). — One of my best captures during the season. It 

 is generally taken singly" (vol. v., p. 145), 



The late J. B. Hodgkinson, of Preston, kindly marked a list 

 of species he had met with in Northumberland, and the only 

 Crambus there is the present species. 



I had grave doubts of the correctness of Mr. Maling's record 

 until I saw the species also named by Mr. Hodgkinson. Mr. 

 Maling is wrong in supposing it to be generally taken singly, 

 but the insect does not appear to range beyond Norfolk, and as 

 the death of both gentlemen prevents enquiry being made, it is 

 very desirable that some of the Northumberland collectors
