172 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



side. A few years ago a provision merchant brought me some 

 larvse which he said were destroying his flour in the sacks. I 

 expected they would be Ephestia liuehniella, but they proved to 

 be this species, which I believe will eat almost anything in the 

 way of soft dead matter, etc. 



ENDROSIS, Hub. 



182. Endrosis fenestrella, Stain. 



Endrosis fenestrella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 359. 

 ,, lacteella. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 688. 



Like the last, an excessively abundant species, both in houses 

 and outside. The larva will eat almost any dry rubbish, and 

 the insect is much too common everywhere. I once saw it 

 sitting in countless myriads on the outside wall of a grain ware- 

 house at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The wall was absolutely covered 

 with the moths. 



BUTALIS, Tr. 



183. Butalis fuscocuprea, Haw. 



Butalis fuscocuprea. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 360. 

 Scythris „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep,, p. 687. 



Mr. Sang took this insect at Darlington repeatedly during a 

 long succession of years. There appears to be no other record 

 of its appearance here. In Yorkshire it is only recorded at 

 Scarborough. The larva lives in a web on shoots of Lotus 

 corniculatus, 



184. B. incongruella, Stain. 



Butalis incongruella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 361. 

 Amphishatis ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 638. 



A local species, apparently preferring the western portion of 

 the district. Mr. Hodgkinson took it in West Northumberland, 

 and Mr. Sang met with it at Waskerley in April, 1857, and 

 1858.
