CATALOGUE OP MOTHS. 225 



341. L. comparella, Zell. 



Lithocolletis comparella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 423. 



„ ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 746. 



This is considered exclusively a southern species, and Meyrick 

 gives it as occurring only in Kent, Surrey, Berks, and Hereford. 

 Mr. Sang, however, enters it as having been met with at 

 Aycliffe Station and Quarry on September 20th, 1879. I have 

 no comment to make beyond recording the note.* 



342. L. concomitella, Bankes. 



Introduced as a new species by Mr. E. R. Bankes after the 

 publication of the "Manual"; see Eat. Mo. Mag., ser. 2, x,, 

 pp. 241-255 and 284-288 (1899). The only record that I have 

 is that Mr. Gardner bred a long series in 1892, from mines got 

 at Greatham the previous autumn in crab apple leaves, and 

 which Mr. Bankes identified as this species. 



LYONETID^. 

 LYONETIA, Hub. 



343. Lyonetia clerckella, Linn. 



Lyonetia clerckella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 424. 

 ,, clerkella. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 757. 



Generally a common species, and apparently well distributed 

 over both counties. In Northumberland, Mr. Finlay bred it 

 freely from leaves of cherry and apple collected in Meldon Park, 

 and Mr. Hodgkinson took it in the west of that county. In 

 Durham, the "Manual" marks it as being abundant at Dar- 

 lington. Mr. Sang took it in Castle Eden Dene and at Black 

 Hall Rocks; he also met with it in Dinsdale Wood, near 

 Darlington, and Mr. Gardner has taken it at Greatham. 



* Upon reference to Mr. Sang's cliaiy I find that the entiy of com- 

 parella is really for Abbots Wood, South Kent, Mr. Robson having 

 included it in the line upon which the Aycliffe records are entered instead 

 of upon the line below referring to Abbots Wood — the entry of comparella 

 being between the lines, but with a A from the lower line. We 

 cannot therefore claim the species as a resident of these counties. — J. G.
