is given in the " Manual" as occurring at Darlington, but it 

 is not mentioned in Bang's diary. It occurs in Castle Eden 

 Dene and Hezleden Dene, in both of which places Mr. Gardner 



has taken it. Doubleday calls this paludicolella, 



269. L. lacteella, Steph. 



Laverna lacteella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 398. 

 Monipha „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 681. 



A local species generally, and here only recorded from South 

 Durham. Mr. Sang took it in Neasham Lane, Darlington, and 

 in Dinsdale "Wood. In Neasham Lane he got it on ragwort 

 flowers. Mr. Gardner has taken it regularly in Hezleden Dene 

 and Crimdon Cut, but not at all commonly. 



270. L. miscella, W. Y. 



Laverna miscella. Staint. Man., vol. ii,, p. 398. 

 Mompha „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 682. 



The "Manual" gives the species as occurring regularly at 

 Darlington. There is little doubt that the specimens referred 

 to were taken at Black Hall Rocks, where Mr. Sang took it. 

 Miscella is also entered in his diary as taken at Hartlepool in 

 1884, but there is no Helianthemum at Hartlepool, nor nearer 

 than a few hundred yards south of Hezleden Dene mouth. Sang 

 was probably staying at Hartlepool, and the specimens were 

 taken at Black Halls or very near thereto. Mr. Gardner has 

 also taken the insect there, and bred it from Helianthemum. 



271. L. ochraceella, Curt. 



Laverna ochraceella. Staint. Man,, vol. ii,, p. 399. 

 Mompha ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 681. 



Meyrick gives Durham as the most northerly recorded habitat 

 of this species, but Mr. Hodgkinson has taken it in West North- 

 umberland, the only Northumbrian record however. It is 

 common in South Durham. The "Manual" gives it as occurring 

 at Darlington. Mr. Sang took it on Coniscliffe Moor. It is also 

 common in Hezleden Dene, where Mr. Gardner has taken it.
