imagines fly in the same places later iu the year. I have no 

 doubt but it may be found in most places in the district, except 

 perhaps the more noi'thern portions of Northumberland.

This is given in the "Manual" as appearing regularly at 

 Darlington. Mr. Sang took it there by the river side near Old 

 Croft Bridge. I have seen no other record, but it is certain to 

 occur elsewhere among willows in the terminal shoots of which 

 the larva feeds. 



96. D. angelicella, Hub. 



Depressaria angelicella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 324.

Mr. Finlay records this as taken at Needless Hall Moor. 

 Mr. Maling also gives it as a Northumbrian insect in the 

 Transactions for 1875, p. 282. The "Manual" gives it as 

 occurring at Darlington, but it is not entered in Mr. Sang's 

 diary. Mr. Gardner has taken it in Hezleden Dene, where it 

 is common, and also near Hartlepool. I have bred it freely 

 from leaves of Heracletwi sphondylium. Mr. Bankes tells me 

 this is an unusual food in Britain. I can only say that the 

 larva is very abundant upon it around Hartlepool, and I never 

 saw it on anything else. 



9Ba. D. carduella, Hub. 



Depressay-ia carduella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 324. 

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 623. 



A local insect that feeds on thistle, and is given by Meyrick 

 as extending northwards to "Westmoreland. I have no record 

 of its occurrence in Northumberland, and in Durham it has only 

 been met with at Hawthorn Tower, near Seaham Harbour, 

 where a specimen was captured by Mr. Bankes on August 27th, 

 1885.
