Epihlema nisana. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 493. 



Both Wilkinson and Stainton consider this distinct, Meyrick 

 gives it as a mere synonym of the next species. Wilkinson 

 says "it is very like the grey specimens of L. nisella, but 

 always wants the coloured hlotch oti the dorsal margin; it is 

 also larger in size." I give it separate because Stainton does. 

 Nisella is a very variable insect with many named forms, and 

 there is little doubt that Cinerana is one of them. It has been 

 noticed at Coal Law Wood by Mr. Finlay, who found it not 

 uncommon in July, and also in plantations at Darlington by 

 Mr. Backhouse.

Epihleyna ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 493. 



Commoner than the last, whether it be species or variety. 

 Mr. Finlay found this plentiful in Coal Law Wood; Mr. Maling 

 also recorded it in the Transactions for 1875 (p. 281). Mr. 

 Sang took it in several places around Darlington. It is common 

 in Hezleden Dene, and Mr. Gardner has reared it from larvse in 

 sallow catkins. It will be found in all suitable places.
