CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 157 



This also is a very local species, and it does not appear to 

 have any book record north of Yorkshire. Mr. Hodgkinson, 

 however,. included it in his West Northumbei-land list, and Mr. 

 Sang took it at South Shields as long ago as 1881. 



138. G. maculea, Haw. 



Gelechia maculea. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 337. 

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 593. 



Rather a common species, and recorded in the " Manual " as 

 occurring regularly at Darlington. Mr. Sang took it there in 

 Coniscliffe Lane, and found larvae " in shoots of Cerastmm " 

 on 16th June, 1869, but Mr. Bankes doubts the accuracy of this 

 entry, the experience of others having always been that 

 G. maculea feeds on Stellaria holostea only, and suggests that 

 Sang probably wrote Cerastmm in mistake for Stellaria. 



139. G. tricolorella, Haw. 



Gelechia tricolorella. Staint. Man,, vol. ii., p. 338. 

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 594. 



Tricolorella is given in the "Manual" as occurring at 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne, and regularly at Darlington. Mr Hodgkin- 

 son also includes it in his West Northumberland list ; and Mr. 

 Maling recorded it in the Transactions for 1875, p. 282. In 

 Durham I only know of Darlington as a locality where it is 

 found. Mr. Sang got it in Coniscliffe Lane there in 1859 and 

 larvfe in 1877. 



140. G. fraternella, Dgl. 



Gelechia fraternella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 338. 

 ,, ,, Meyr, Hdbk, Brit. Lep., p. 594. 



Darlington is given in the "Manual" as one of the places 

 where this species occurs. Mr. Sang found the larvae in the 

 North Road there in April and May, and the moth later. Mr. 

 Gardner has taken it on the railway banks, Hartlepool. These 

 are the only localities I know of, and it appears to be rather a 

 local species generally.
