CATALOGUK OF MOliiS. 55 



A very common species, occurring everywhere. It is in the 

 Twizell list as Lozotcenia Icevignana. It is recorded for 

 ** Newcastle, &c.," by "Wailes, in Stephens' Illustrations, 

 vol. iv., p. 76. Mr. Maling also recorded it in the Transactions 

 for 1875. Mr. Finlay found it plentiful in Meldon Park and 

 elsewhere. In Durham I have few records, but it has been 

 plentiful wherever I have collected. The larva feeds on almost 

 everything (not low plants), so that it has no difficulty with 

 food. Two varieties, whi<jh Stephens considered distinct, are 

 recorded by Mr. Backhouse — L<svignana, which he took in a 

 garden at Newcastle and also at Hoffall "Wood; the other, 

 Nebulana, was taken at Shotley, and bred from apricot and 

 currants.

Capua „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 528. 



This is generally an abundant species, but I only have one 

 record from each county; Longhirst, Morpeth, by Mr. Finlay; 

 and Harewood Grove, Darlington, by Mr. Sang. The larva 

 feeds on any tree, but is especially attached to fruit trees. The 

 moth is certain to occur almost everywhere. 



PTYCHOLOMA, Leach. 



37. Ptycholoma lecheana, Linn. 



Ptycholoma lecheana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 205.

Cacoecia ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep.. p. 532. 



A common species generally, appearing in all woods and 

 denes at the end of June or in July. It is recorded already in 

 the Transactions for 1875, and is in all the lists I have received. 

 It is therefore unnecessary to give localities.
