CATALOeUE OF MOTHS. 191 



Mr. Sang took it in June near Darlington. The larva feeds on 

 blackthoi'n, -whitethorn, apple, and other trees, so that it can 

 find food almost anywhere. 



242. C. orbitella, Zell.

In the north at least orbitella seems to have a preference for 

 the western side of the island. Its range is said to reach West- 

 morland. Here it has been noticed only in the western part of 

 Durham. Mr. Hodgkinson does not give it as having occurred 

 in "West Northumberland. Mr. Sang appears to be the only 

 collector who has met with it here. His captures were at 

 "Wolsingham in 1878 and 1879 (the most northern locality), 

 Stanhope in 1874, and at High Force from 1874 to 1878. In 

 Britain it is better known by the synonym ivilkinso7ii, Scott, 

 than by the name orbitella, Zell. 



243. C. paripennella, Zell.

A local species, and apparently not found north of Durham, 

 in which county it has only been met with by Mr. Sang, who 

 bred it from larvse found at High Force on 1st August, 1877. 

 He does not appear to have seen it again. 



244. C. albitarsella, Zell. 



Coleophora albitarsella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 386.

The range of this species also does not appear to extend 

 beyond Durham, in the south of which it is fairly common locally. 

 The "Manual" gives it as occurring regularly at Darlington. 

 Mr. Sang found larvae in Grange Road, to the south of Dar- 

 lington, from 17th to 22nd May, 1872, and in Coniscliffe Lane, 

 to the west of the town, on June 4th of the same year. Stainton 

 and Meyrick give the larvse as full fed in April, but I learn
