 Mr. Earrett considers this to be a variety or local form of the 

 preceding species. Mr. Meyrick also includes it with Carpo- 

 pTiaga. I give it separately for convenience, and not as expres- 

 sing any opinion of my own. It has only occurred in Meldon 

 Park, where Mr. Finlay took a few. I have seen the specimens 

 and they are un questionably what is called Capsophila. I believe 

 this is the only place in the East of England where it has been 

 taken. The species is darker brown than dark Carpophaga 

 and has none of the warm ochreons shades of that insect, but 

 is a cold, dark grey-brown. It is also very much more constant 

 in hue and markings.

Rather a common species, but apparently almost as much of a 



coast species as Carpophaga. Mr. Einlay took it at Meldon 



Park, but it was always scarce there ; Mr. Maling took it at 



iNewbiggin-by-the-Sea ; Mr. Henderson at Tynemouth ; Mr. 



Rhagg at Wylam and Lintz Glreen ; Mr. Eales found it on the 



ballast heaps at South Shields ; Mr. Sang took it at Castle Eden 



Dene ; and Mr. Backhouse at Seaton Carew. It is common at 



Hartlepool at Campion flowers, and is the only one of the genus 



I ever took at sugar.
