388. N. aeneofasciella, H.-S. 



Nepticula ceneofasciata. Staint. Ent. Ann., 68, p. 48. 

 ,, (Bneofasciella. Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 717. 



The northerly range of this insect is erroneously limited to 

 Lancashire by Meyrick. Mr. Sang took it at Castle Eden in 

 1878, in Dinsdale Wood, near Darlington, in 1868, and at 

 Elders, also near Darlington, in 1871. I have no other records, 

 but it is sure to occur elsewhere. 



389. N. alnetella, Stain. 



Nepticula alnetella. Staint. Man,, vol. ii., p. 437. 

 ,, ,, Meyr. Hdbk, Brit, Lep., p. 719. 



Mr. Meyrick limits the northerly range of alnetella to 

 Durham, but Mr. Hodgkinson met with it in the west of North- 

 umberland. The " Manual " gives Darlington as a place where 

 the species occurs, but I think it occurs considerably further 

 westward. Mr, Sang met with it at Barnard Castle in 1856 

 and 1871. In the latter year it was very common. He also 

 found it at Stanhope in 1873 and 1874. 



390. N. marginicolella, Stain. 



Nepticula marginicolella. Staint. Man., vol. ii., p. 437. 

 „ „ Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p, 719. 



Generally a common species, and reaching "West N^orthumber- 

 land, vrhere Mr. Hodgkinson got it. The " Manual" marks it 

 as occurring at Darlington, and Mr, Sang took it there, both at 

 Elders and in ConisclifEe Lane. I have no other records. 



391. N. aurella, Fab. 



Nepticula aurella. Staint. Man., vol. ii,, p. 438. 



Meyr. Hdbk. Brit. Lep., p. 717. 



The " Manual " gives this as being abundant both at New- 

 castle-on-Tyne and at Darlington. Mr. Hodgkinson has found 

 it in "West Northumberland, and Mr. Finlay got it in Coal Law 

 "Wood, near Morpeth. I have found no Durham records except
