CARTELLA, Guen. 



78. Cartella bilunana, Haw. 



Cartella hilunana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 216. 



,, „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 114. 



Epihlema ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 497. 



The larva of this insect feeds in birch catkins, and the species 

 should be looked for where there is an abundance of that tree. 

 It is recorded from the Old Park, IS'etherwitton, by Mr. Finlay, 

 who found it scarce. It is not common either in Hezleden 

 Dene, where Mr. Gardner met with it. 



HEDYA, Hub. 



79. Hedya paykulliana, Fab. 



Hedya payJculUana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 219. 



„ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 117. 



Cydia ramella. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 484. 



Mr. Pinlay never met with this species, though it is not by 

 any means rare. Mr. Maling, however, recorded it in the Trans- 

 actions for 1876, p. 281, the only Northumbrian record I have 

 seen. Mr. Sang found it at Wolsingham, &c., in August, and 

 Mr. Gardner took it in Hezleden Dene, where it is rather 

 common. 



80. H. ocellana, W.V. 



Hedya ocellana. Staint. Man,, vol. ii., p. 219. 



„ ,, Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 118. 



Tiiretocera ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 476. 



Commoner in the south of England than in the north, and 

 here only taken at the southern extremity of Durham by Mr. 

 Sang, who took it in July, 1870, at Darlington. Mr. Backhouse 

 also took an insect which he called Comitana at Darlington in 

 July, which is doubtless this species.
