INGURVARIA, Haw. 



39. Incurvaria muscalella, Fab. 



Incm'varia muscalella. Staint Man., vol. ii., p. 297. 



,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 780. 



Generally a common species, and given as abundant both at 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne and Darlington in Stainton's " Manual." 

 Mr. Gardner tells me it is also very common in Upper Teesdale. 

 The larva mines hawthorn leaves when young, and afterwards 

 lives in a case among the fallen leaves. 



40. I. pectinea, Fab. 



Incurvaria pectinea. Staint. Man., vol. ii,, p. 297. 

 ,, „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 780. 



Mr. Finlay found this species at Needless Hall Moor, but it 

 was not very plentiful. The "Manual," however, gives it as 

 abundant at Newcastle-on-Tyne. In Durham it is only re- 

 corded from Teesdale by Mr. Gardner, who found it not very 

 common there. 



41. I. canariella, Staint. 



Incurvaria canariella. Staint. Ent. Ann., 1872, p. 122. 



Lampronia p)ubicornis. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 781 



(jpartini)^ 

 This species was not known to science until long after 

 the publication of the "Manual." Mr. Gardner is the only 

 collector who has met with it in either county. He found it in 

 early June, not uncommon among Rosa spinosissima, at the 

 low end of Hezleden Dene, and on the sand banks on either 

 side. Mr. Bankes informs me that although Mr. Meyrick in 

 his "Handbook," and Dr. Rebel, who in Staudinger and 

 Rebel's "Catalog" evidently copied Meyrick, have treated 

 canariella^ Stn., as identical with 'pubicornis, Haw., these two 

 species are totally distinct.
