16 CATAIOGTJE OF MOTHS. 



of a single specimen taken at Eanworth by Mr. Barrett. A 

 figure is given in Wood's ''Index Entomologicus " from a 

 specimen taken at Darenth Wood, but this, like the Meldon 

 Park example, was subsequently considered to be but a variety 

 of Fuscalis. In the 1854 edition of this work, edited by West- 

 wood, the nomenclature underwent very strict revision by 

 Stephens himself and H. Doubleday, and altered names were 

 placed in brackets below the original name. Under Pulveralis, 

 the name [Fuscalis, var.] is added, so that there can be no 

 doubt what the recorded specimen really was. It is necessary, 

 however, to give these details, as the record might be more 

 difficult to put right in after years).

A single specimen of this insect was taken by Mr. Gardner 

 on the railway side at Hartlepool. Meyrick limits its range to 

 York, but it appears to be very widely distributed, though not 

 very common anywhere. It has been taken at Bedcar, on the 

 south side of Hartlepool bay.

 This is much too plentiful in July and August, and appears 

 to occur everywhere. All lists that include this group say 

 Lutealis is abundant.
