A tolerably common species, probably occurring in most 

 places in both counties. The only record, however, of the 

 insect in Northumberland is that of Mr. Hodgkinson from the 

 west of that county. The " Manual" gives it as being abund- 

 ant at Darlington. Mr. Sang took it at Barnard Castle, and 

 Mr. Gardner has taken it freely in Hezleden Dene.

The larva of this insect feeds in the leaves of elm. It is said 

 by Meyrick to be a rather local species, but I believe it to be 

 generally distributed in these counties. The "Manual" gives 

 it as abundant both at Newcastle-on-Tyne and Darlington. 

 Mr. Hodgkinson found it freely in the west of ^Northumberland. 

 It also occurs in Hezleden Dene, where Mr. Gardner has taken 

 it. The absence of records in Mr. Sang's diary is an evidence 

 of its common occurrence. 



340. L. trifasciella, Haw. 



Lithocolletis trifasciella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 422.

Generally a common species, the larva feeding in leaves of 

 honeysuckle. It is recorded in the " Manual" as occurring at 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Mr. Hodgkinson has taken it in the 

 west of Northumberland. I have no records for Durham, but 

 it is certain to be found, probably in most places where honey- 

 suckle grows freely.
