CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 133 



S6. H. evonymellus,* Scop. 



Hyponomexita evonymellus. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 308, 

 Yponomeuta cognatelhis. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 696. 



Generally common, but, like the last, apparently not reaching 

 Scotland. It is not marked in the "Manual " from our district, 

 nor have I found any record for Northumberland, the most 

 northern locality being Chopwell, where Mr. Patterson took it. 

 Mr. Sang met with it at Hartburn, Mr. Backhouse got it at 

 Darlington, and Mr. Gardner found it in Hezleden Dene. It 

 formerly occurred in Hart Lane, still nearer Hartlepool, where 

 there was a solitary spindle tree in the hedge. There the larva 

 could always be found in large numbers, but I have not seen it 

 for many years. 



67. H. padi,* Zell. 



Hyponomeiita padi. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 308. 



Yponomeuta evonymellus. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 695. 



The "Manual" gives this species as occurring abundantly at 

 N'ewcastle-on-Tyne, and Mr. Einlay found it generally common 

 among bird-cherry around Morpeth, which is probably the most 

 northern known station for the species. Mr. Backhouse found 

 it at Shotley, and Mr. Gardner has also found it in Weardale, 

 as well as in Upper Teesdale. It does not occur near Hartle- 

 pool, but other localities than these will probably yet be found. 

 I have seen it abundantly just south of the Tees on the Yarm 

 road. Possibly it avoids the coast. 



ANESYGHIA, Steph. 



68. Anesychia funerella, Fab. 



Anesychia funerella. Staint. Man., vol. ii,, p. 309. 

 Psecadia ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 631. 



A very local species, only recorded here from Barnard Castle. 



* Care must be taken not to confuse these species. The oldest known 

 name of No. 66, which feeds on Euonymus, is cognatellus, Hb., while that 

 of No. 67, which feeds on Prunus padus, is evonymellus, Liu., but the 

 author's invariable rule throughout this Catalogue has been to adopt the 

 names used in StaJnton's " Manual." — E. R. B.
