the one in the " Manual," which signifies that it is abundant 

 at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and occurs regularly at Darlington. 

 Neither Mr. Finlay in Northumberland, nor Mr. Gardner in 

 Durham, both of whom supplied full lists of all they had taken, 

 appear to have met with this species.

This also is probably common amongst birch and sallow in 

 most parts of both counties. I have no records, however, for 

 the more northerly of the two, beyond the "Ne!!" of the 

 "Manual." Mr. Finlay never met with it in his district. In 

 Durham Mr. Backhouse took it at Shotley ; Mr. Sang got it in 

 Castle Eden Dene, at Darlington, and in Dinsdale Wood ; Mr. 

 Gardner has met with it at Cole Hill, near Hartlepool, Hezleden 

 Dene, and a plantation near Hart Station ; and Mr. Bankes at 

 Castle Eden in 1885. 



207. A. dilectella, Zell. 



Argyresthia dilectella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 371. 



„ „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 763. 



Dilectella has only been taken at High Eorce by Mr. Sang. 

 He notes having found larvse there in juniper berries. Meyrick, 

 copying Stainton, says in shoots of juniper. It may occur in 

 shoots also. The species is likely to be found in all high land 

 in the west of both counties. 



208. A. andereggiella, Dup. 



Argyresthia andereggiella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 371. 

 „ „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 763. 



A very local species, the larva feeding on hazel and apple. 

 It is marked in the "Manual" as occurring at Newcastle-on- 

 Tyne; and Mr. J. B. Hodgkinson says he took it in "West 

 Northumberland. I have no other records.
