9. A. betuletana, Haw. 



Antithesia betuletana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 193. 



„ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 22. 



Encosma „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 461. 



Generally common on birch, but I have no records except 

 •that Mr. Backhouse took it in Hoffall Wood, near Durham, and 

 we get it in Hezleden Dene, where it is quite plentiful. Mr. 

 Sang probably found it too common to be worth entering in his 

 diary. 



10. A. praelongana, Gner. 



Antithesia proilongana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 194. 



„ „ Wilk. E,rit. Tort., p. 24. 



Encosma sororculana. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 462. 



A local species, not generally common. In Northumberland 

 Mr. Finlay found it at the Old Park, Netherwitton, where it 

 was rather plentiful. In Durham Mr. Pattison found it at 

 Chopwell, Mr. Sang recorded it for Castle Eden Dene in 1858, 

 near Darlington in 1859, in Upper Teesdale in 1870, and at 

 "Wolsingham in 1873 and down to 1882. "We also take it in 

 Hezleden Dene. 



11. A. cynosbatella, Linn. 



Antithesia cynoslatella. Staint. Man , vol. ii., p. 194. 



„ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 26. 



Encosma variegana. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit, Lep., p. 462. 



Generally a common species, and plentiful in most places. 

 It is in the Twizell list. Mr. Pinlay found it generally dis- 

 tributed and common. Mr. Maling recorded it in the Trans- 

 actions for 1875 (p. 281). Mr. Backhouse took it at Jesmond 

 Dene, Newcastle, and at Hoffall Wood, near Durham. It is 

 common in Hezleden Dene, and no doubt in all the woods of 

 both counties, Mr. Sang did not enter it in his diary.
