182. E. atricapitana, Steph. 



Eupoecilia atricapitana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 271. 



,, ,, Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 298. 



Phalonia „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 552. 



Not a common species, but probably much overlooked. The 

 only Northumberland record I have is that Mr, J. B. Hodgkinson 

 found it in the west of the county. Mr. Sang took it on the 

 railway banks at Darlington. We formerly got it rather freely 

 in the small enclosure between the ropery at Hartlepool and 

 the railway banks, sometimes sitting on the brick walls of the 

 ropery, sometimes on the old sleeper fence of the railway. Mr. 

 Gardner has bred it from larvae found there in ragwort stems. 

 The town has extended here, and this place is now enclosed as 

 gardens, and I have not seen Atricapitana for some years. 



183. E. nana. Haw. 



Eupoecilia nana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 272. 



„ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 301. 

 Phalonia ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 552. 



Mr. Finlay records this from the Old Park, Netherwitton, 

 and says it is plentiful among birch. Mr. Sang took it at 

 "Wolsingham only. We never met with it about Hartlepool. 



184. E. rupicola, Curt. 



Eupoecilia rupicola. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 273. 



„ Wilk. Brit. Tort., p. 305. 



Phalonia ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 550. 



Rather a local species, and not extending into Scotland. It 

 only appears to reach the extreme of South Durham. Mr. 

 Sang took it many years ago at Hell Kettles, near Darlington, 

 and Mr. Gardner has taken it in Hezleden Dene, where he says 

 it is not very uncommon, but I never met with it.
