97. D. ocellana, Fab. 



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

 „ ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 624. 



A common species generally, yet the only record is Darling- 

 ton in the " Manual." The larva feeds between sallow leaves, 

 and I expect the species will turn up in many other places. 



98. D. applana, Fab. 



Depressaria applana. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 325. 

 ,, „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 626. 



The larva of this insect is not very particular in its choice of 

 food, and I have no doubt it occurs nearly everywhere, except 

 perhaps on the higher moorland. Eecords however are not so 

 numerous. The '' Manual " gives it as abundant both at IS'ew- 

 castle-on-Tyne and at Darlington. Mr. Finlay found it common 

 in Meldon Park and elsewhere. He marks it, like arenella, 

 " October and in spring," but the insect emerges in August, 

 continuing on the wing through October before retiring for 

 hibernation. Mr. Maling also recorded it in the Transactions 

 for 1875, p. 282. It is very common everywhere around 

 Hartlepool, and vies with aUtrcemeriana for abundance in 

 spring. 



99. D, ciliella, Stain. 



Depressaria ciliella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 325. 

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 626. 



Widely distributed and not uncommon locally. Mr. Finlay 

 found it " not uncommon " in Meldon Park in " October and in 

 spring." Ml'. Maling, however, thought it rare. See Trans- 

 actions for 1875, p. 282. It is also given in the ''Manual " as 

 occurring at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The only record I have for 

 Durham is that Mr. Gardner bred a fine series from larvae got 

 in Hezleden Dene upon Angelica.
