common on the sandhills at Hartlepool, and probably all along 

 the coast. There is no record for Northumberland, but I see 

 no reason why it should not occur there also.

This is the expolitella of Doubleday. Mr. Hodgkinson 

 reported it from the west of Northumberland, and Mr. Finlay 

 found it plentiful at Needless Hall Moor, The only Durham 

 record is that of Mr. Gardner, who found it both in Upper 

 Teesdale and at Hartlepool. It is a local species, not occurring 

 either in the extreme north or the extreme south of our island.

 Aristotelia piilveratella, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 576. 



This species was introduced to our lists shortly after the 

 publication of the " Manual." It was first taken in Britain by 

 Mr. C. Eales on the railway banks some two miles from Dar- 

 lington, and was noticed by Mr. Stainton in the " Entomologist's 

 "Weekly Intelligencer," vol. vii., p. 140, and there named 

 Gelechia intaminatella. It has since been recognised as 

 identical with imlveratella^ which had been previously described 

 by Herrich-Schaffer. Sang found the larva at Darlington feed- 

 ing between united leaves of Lotus corniculatus^ and on the 

 Continent it also feeds in the same way on Coronilla varia and 

 Medicago sativa, whilst a single specimen is recorded (Ent. 

 Ann. 1864, p, 165) as having been bred from Achillea 

 millefolium, though this does not appear to have been confirmed 

 as a food plant.

 Park. Mr. J. B. Hodgkinson also included it in his list
