216 CATAIOGUE OF MOTHS. 



record I have of the present species is that Mr. Hodgkinson took 

 it in West Northumberland. Of course, if these be but one 

 species,* Mr. Sang's capture must be added here.

Another local species.f The "Manual" only gives four 



localities, Newcastle-on-Tyne marked for the insect occurring 



regularly, and Darlington, where it is marked as abundant, 



being two of the four.| Mr. Hodgkinson found it in West 



Northumberland, and Mr. Sang got it at Barnard Castle, 



besides in the immediate neighbourhood of Darlington. The 



larva mines in leaves of Vicia septum and occasionally in those 



of other plants. 



317. L. ulmifoliella, Hub. 



Lithocolletis ulmifoliella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 417.

Rather a common insect, and I expect well distributed over 

 both counties. It is given in the "Manual" as occurring 

 regularly at Newcastle-on-Tyne and abundantly at Darlington. 

 Mr. Hodgkinson has also taken it in West Northumberland. 

 In Durham Mr. Gardner has found it common in Hezleden 

 Dene. I have no other records, but have no doubt as to its 

 occurrence wherever there is plenty of birch. 



* The form originally described as distinct under the name irradiella 

 is a dark northern variety of lautella, Z., and is now known as var. 

 irradiella, Stain. — E. R. B. 



t But see footnote to notice of L. nigrescentella. — E. R. B. 



fin Nat. Hist. Tin., ii., 188 (1857), Stainton says that L. bremiella 

 " has been found at Castle Eden, near Durham," but does not mention 

 who found it there. — E. R. B.
