a larva found there on plum (Ent. "Weekly Intell., vol. ii., 

 p. 77). Mr. Gardner has also taken it in Hezleden Dene, and 

 the late Mr. "W. Backhouse met with it at St. John's.

This name does not appear in the '' Manual," but Mr. Bankes 

 tells me that the hawthorn-eating insect to which it belongs, 

 and the closely allied blackthorn-eating species S. spiniella, 

 Hub., are confused together there under the name ^^ ccesiella,'''' 

 though the statement "Larva on hawthorn" refers to oxy- 

 acanthella only. I am, however, unable to tell to which of the 

 two species the "Manual" entries, indicating abundance at 

 Darlington and Newcastle-on-Tyne, are really applicable, 

 though it is quite likely that this and sjmiiella, Hub., are 

 plentiful in both localities. 



62. S. spiniella, Hub.

This species was, owing to imperfect knowledge, included 



with the last in Stainton's notice of S. ccesiella in the " Manual," 



and as mentioned above, it may well be that this, as well as 



the preceding, is abundant at Darlington and ]^ewcastle-on- 



Tyne. They are both common insects, and this is certainly the 



insect Mr. Knlay found freely in the Old Park, Netherwitton.

A double-brooded species, on the wing according to Stainton 



in May and August, but here occurring in June and September.
