48. CATALOGUE OP MOTHS. 



15. A. palustrana, Zell. 



Encosma palustrana. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 466. 



This is a new introduction, and Meyrick confines it to 

 Scotland, "Scotland to Ross," but Mr. Gardner took it in 

 Upper Teesdale in 1897, and again in 1898, and it is certain to 

 occur in Upper "Weardale and along the high land to the 

 Cheviots in Northumberland. 



PENTHINA, Treit. 



16. Penthina salicella, Linn. 



Penthina salicella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 196. 



„ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 35. 



Encosma ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 460. 



This would seem to be a southern species. Stainton says 

 "!Not rare in the South of England." "Wilkinson says it 

 "appears in June, July, and August among Sallows and 

 Willows in the Metropolitan district, and the south and west 

 of England." Meyrick says " England to York." Mr. Sang, 

 however, took the insect in the neighbourhood of Darlington, 

 and he subsequently found larvae in leaves of Salix alba and 

 reared the moth. I have no other records. We never found it 

 near Hartlepool. 



DICHELIA, Gner. 



17. Dichelia grotiana, Eab. 



Dichelia grotiana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 197.

Epagoge ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 527. 



Mr. Backhouse took this in Hoffall Wood near Durham. It 

 is a local insect, but widely distributed in the south. Meyrick 

 limits its range to York.
