CATALOGUE OP MOTHS. 235 



369. N. trimaculella, Haw. 



Nepticula trimaculella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 433. 

 ,, „ Meyr. Hdbk, Brit. Lep., p. 725. 



This is limited in its northerly range to Durham by Meyrick, 

 but Mr. Hodgkinson got it in the west of Northumberland. 

 The "Manual" gives Daiiington as a place where it occurs 

 regularly, and Mr. Sang found it freely all around that town, 

 Grange Road, Whessoe Lane, Neasham Lane, etc., being all in 

 his diary as places where he took it. 



370. N. salicis, Stain. 



Nepticula salicis. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 434. 

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 723. 



Generally a common species, but scarcely recorded here. 

 Mr. Hodgkinson got it in West Northumberland. The 

 "Manual" marks it as being abundant at Darlington. 

 Probably it was too plentiful for Mr. Sang to consider it worth 

 an entry in his diary. I have no more records. 



371. N. myrtillella, Stain. 



Nepticula myrtillella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 434. 

 „ ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 723. 



Locally common on some northern moors, but only noticed 

 twice here, once in each county. Mr. Hodgkinson found it in 

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

 where he notes that it was scarce. Both these habitats are on 

 the westward side of our district.* 



372. N. floslactella, Haw. 



Nepticula Jloslactella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 434. 

 „ „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 723. 



Rather a common species. It is given in the " Manual" as 



* Mr. B. A. Bovver has also met with it iu West Durham, for from 

 larvaj collected plentifully by him in Teesdale in 1891, I bred a long and 

 beautiful series in the following year. — E. R. B.
