209. A. curvella, Stain. 



Argyresthia curvella. Staint. Man., toI. ii., p. 371. 



,, Cornelia. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 764. 



A common species and extending far into Scotland. I have 

 no records of its occurrence in ITortliumberland, but it is certain 

 to occur. In Durham Mr. Backhouse has found it at St. John's. 

 It is marked as abundant at Darlington, too common, I expect,

 taken it at Cole Hill, near Hartlepool. The larva feeds on 

 apple.

 in Hezleden Dene.

 everywhere among willow. The " Manual " gives it as occurring

 Mr. Gardner at Edder Acres near Hartlepool, and in Hezleden 

 Dene.
