182 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



Newcastle-on-Tyne and at Darlington. Mr. Backhouse took it 

 at Shotley, and Mr. Gardner found it very common both at Cole 

 Hill, near Hartlepool, and in Hezleden Dene. I have no doubt 

 it may be found plentifully in all parts of both counties.

Argyresthia brockeella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 372.

A common species among birch. It is given in the " Manual " 

 as being abundant at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and occurring regularly 

 at Darlington. I would expect it to be plentiful in all birch 

 woods. Mr. Finlay found it generally distributed around 

 Morpeth. Mr. Wailes recorded it nearly seventy years ago in 

 Castle Eden Dene (see Stephens' Hlustrations, vol. iv., p. 253), 

 whei'e Mr. Sang took it in 1854, and where I have met with it 

 much more recently ; Mr. Backhouse also took it at St. John's, 

 and Mr. Gardner at Edder Acres. 



214. A. arceuthina, Zell. 



Argyresthia arceuthina. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 372. 



,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 763. 



The larva of this species feeds on juniper, and the insect need 

 only be looked for where that grows. It has been taken at 

 Wolsingham by Mr. Sang, and should also occur in Teesdale 

 and on the Northumberland hills. 



CEDESTIS, Zell. 



215. Cedeslis farinatella, Dup. 



Cedestis farinatella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 373. 

 „ „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 760. 



Mr. Hodgkinson took farinatella in West Northumberland. 

 In the " Manual" it is given as being abundant at Darlington, 

 but I think the specimens were taken in the Teesdale woods, 

 where Mr. Gardner also met with it. There is not very much 

 Scotch fir in Hezleden Dene, but Mr. Gardner has taken 

 farinatella there also. I expect it will be found in most or all 

 of the fir woods of both counties.
