Crambus iiliginosellus. 



Mr. Pobson appears to have rejected Sang's records for 

 Coatham Bog, no doubt concluding that it was near Coatham in 

 Cleveland, whereas it is near Aycliffe. Mr. Sang took uUgino- 

 sellus regvilarly at this place, as the following records from his

 (1869), he naturally adopted the general opinion held on the 

 Continent, and expressed in the first edition of Staudinger's 

 Catalogue which he quotes, that the true angustana, Hiib., 

 and cruciana, Linn., were distinct, but opinions have changed 

 since then, and the present belief both on the Continent, as 

 expressed in the latest (1901) edition of Staudinger's Catalogue, 

 and in Britain, is that they are specifically identical. I have 

 studied the question and firmly believe them to be identical. 

 None of the differences pointed out by Barrett in E.M.M., ix., 

 125-6, are at all reliable."
