Rather a common species. Recorded in the "Manual" as 

 occurring at Newcastle-on-Tyne. I have no idea where Mr. 

 Wailes met with it, possibly in Castle Eden Dene, where Mr. 

 Sang took it, as well as at Black Halls, in 1876. Sang found it 

 nearer Hartlepool than this in 1884, but it could not be much 

 south of the Rocks, as the food plant, Helianthemum vulgar e, 

 does not grow much closer to the town. Mr. Gardner has taken 

 it at Black Halls more recently, and also bred it from 

 Helianthemum. 



149. G. mouffetella, W.V. 



Gelechia mouffetella. Staint. Man., vol. ii,, p. 342. 

 Epithectis „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 581, 



This is given in tlie " Manual" as occurring at IS'ewcastle- 

 on-Tyne, and Mr. Hodgkinson claims to have taken it in West 

 Northumberland, In Durham Mr, Backhouse took it at Shotley. 

 Mr. Sang bred it from Darlington larvae in 1869 (see Ent. Mo. 

 Mag,, vol. vi,, p, 170), Mr. John Laws also bred it from there 

 in 1873, I have no other records, 



150. G. dodecella, Linn. 



Gelechia dodecella. Staint. Man., vol, ii,, p. 342. 

 ,, ,, Meyr, Hdbk, Brit. Lep., p, 698. 



Durham is given in Meyrick's Handbook as the northern 

 limit of this species, but Mr, Bankes says that it certainly ex- 

 tends far into Scotland, for he has proof of its occurrence not 

 only in Dumbartonshire but even in Morayshire, N.B. Mr. 

 Sang took the insect, and larva also, near Darlington (see Ent. 

 Mo. Mag,, vol. vi., p. 178,) Mr. Gardner has taken it at Cole 

 Hill, near Sheraton, which so far is the most northerly known 

 station in this district.
