Epiblema ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 494. 



First taken at Braithwaite, near Windermere, which at one 

 time was the only known locality. It has since been taken in 

 other places, and Mr. Finlay found it on Needless Hall Moor, 

 but very scarce.

 „ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 112. 



,, tedella. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 494. 



Tolerably common among fir trees, but only recorded once in 

 each county. Mr. Maling recorded it in the Transactions for 

 1875, p. 281 ; and Mr. Sang took it on ConisclifFe Moor on 

 June 18th, 1882. Since this was written Mr. Gardner reports 

 that it is very common in Teesdale among spruce firs. 



CAPUA, Steph. 



77. Capua ochraceana, Steph. 



Capua ochraceana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 216. 

 „ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 113. 



,, favillaceana. Meyr. Hdbk, Brit. Lep., p. 528. 



A generally distributed but local species. Mr. Finlay found 

 it abundant in all parts of his district ; Mr. Maling also recorded 

 it in the Transactions for 1875, p. 281. In Durham I have 

 fewer records. Possibly Sang thought it too common to enter 

 in his diary. Mr. Gardner took it at Eggleston, in Upper 

 Teesdale, the only Durham capture I know of.
