376. N. angulifasciella, Stain. 



Nepticula angulifasciella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 435. 

 „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 722. 



This species is given by Meyrick as only reaching 

 Durham, but he is wrong, as it was met with by Mr. Hodgin- 

 son in West Northumberland. The "Manual" marks it as 

 being abundant at Darlington, and Mr. Sang got it in Grange 

 Road there. The larva feeds in rose leaves, and the insect is 

 tolerably certain to occur elsewhere. 



377. N. atricollis, Stain. 



Nepticula atricollis. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 435. 

 ,, „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 722. 



Meyrick is still further wrong in the range of this species, 

 which he limits northwards to Lancashire and York. Mr. 

 Hodgkinson found it in West Northumberland. Mr. Sang got 

 it in both Coniscliffe Lane and Grange Road, Darlington. The 

 larva feeds in leaves both of apple and hawthorn, and the 

 insect is double-brooded. 



378. N. microtheriella, Stain. 



Nepticula microtheriella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 435. 

 „ ,, Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 720. 



Generally a plentiful species, and given in the " Manual " as 

 being abundant both at Newcastle-on-Tyne and at Darlington. 

 I have no other record, except that Sang got it at Barnard 

 Castle, as well as near Darlington. 



379. N. argentipedella, ZelL 



Nepticula argentipedella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 435.

(partimj. 



Probably common throughout both counties. Mr. Hodgkin- 

 son found it in West Northumberland, and Mr. Finlay in the 

 Morpeth district, where he marks it as "not uncommon 

 amongst birch." In Durham, Mr. Sang got it at Wolsingham, 

 at High Force, Upper Teesdale, at Barnard Castle, and around 

 Darlington.
