272. L. atra, Haw. 



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



ChrysocUsta atra, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 678. 



The northerly recorded range of this species is limited to 

 Yorkshire by Meyrick, hut that is an error. The "Manual" 

 gives it as occurring at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and regularly at 

 Darlington. I have no other Northumbrian record, or even for 

 North Durham, but Mr. Sang bred the insect from larvae found 

 in "Whessoe Lane, near Darlington, and Mr, Gardner states it to 

 be common in most of the hedges near Hartlepool. This is the 

 hellerella of Doubleday's list.

ChrysocUsta schranhella. Staint. Man,, vol. ii., p. 400. 

 Mompha „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 680. 



A very local species, and only taken by one collector in each 

 county. Mr. J. B. Hodgkinson took it in West Northumber- 

 land, and Mr. Gardner got it in Hezleden Dene, and bred it 

 from larvae found there on Epilohium montanum. 



274. C. flavicaput, Havs^. 



ChrysocUsta flavicaput. Staint. Man,, vol. ii., p. 401. 

 ,, aurifronteUa. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 677. 



The "Manual" marks this species as being abundant at 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne, and occurring regularly at Darlington. I 

 have no records except that Mr. Gardner has taken it both at 

 Greatham and in Hezleden Dene. I expect it will prove to be 

 common in most places in both counties.
