This species is only recorded from Northumberland by Mr. 

 Hodgkinson, who took it in the west of the county. In 

 Durham it is given in the "Manual" as occurring at 

 Darlington, where Mr. Sang took it in Coniscliffe Lane, and at 

 Low Coniscliffe. He also got it in Castle Eden Dene, and Mr. 

 Gardner has taken it in Hezleden Dene and bred it from larvse 

 collected there.

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 666. 



A local species, only reported from one locality in each 

 county. Mr. Hodgkinson took it in "West Northumberland, 

 and Mr. Sang in "West Durham, at Barnard Castle. The larvae 

 feed in Luzula pilosa, and Mr. Sang got them from April 2nd 

 to May 9th from 1859 to 1881. 



280. E. gleichenella, Fab. 



Elachista gleichenella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 405. 

 „ ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 667. 



Another species only recorded once from each county, and 

 from the same places by the same collectors, namely, from 

 "West Northumberland by Mr. Hodgkinson, and from Barnard 

 Castle by Mr. Sang. The larva feeds in leaves of Car ex, and I 

 do not see why it should not occur elsewhere. Mr. Sang's dates 

 for larvae are April 2nd and 8th, 1859 to 1877. He went once 

 on May 25th, marking his diary " too late."
