Tortrix „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 536. 



The larva feeds on privet and on ash, and appears to occur 

 almost everywhere, though not always common. Mr. Einlay, 

 for instance, found it rather a scarce insect about privet hedges 

 in Meldon Park ; Mr. Maling also recorded it in the Transactions 

 for 1875, p. 281. In Durham it occurs in most places, and is 

 very common in Hezleden Dene where privet is abundant and 

 elsewhere around Hartlepool.

Acalla ,, Meyr.Hdbk.Brit.Lep,,p. 525. 



Common by every hawthorn hedge or bush in both counties. 

 It is recorded by all whose lists cover the Tortricina, the 

 earliest notice being that in Stephens' Illustrations, vol. iv,, 

 p. 169, for specimens taken by Mr. Wailes at Gibside. 

 Practically it occurs everywhere, only the higher moors being 

 without it.

Dictyopteryx Icejlingiana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 227. 



„ „ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 152. 



Tortrix „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 537. 



A generally distributed species, occurring in most or all 

 woods and plantations. Yet Mr. Pinlay never took it, but it is 

 recorded for Northumberland by Mr. Maling in the Transactions 

 for 1875, p. 281. Mr. Sang took it in Haughton Lane, 

 Darlington, in 1857, and Mr. Gardner has met with it in 

 Hezleden Dene, but never very commonly.
