1917- Langham — Entomological Notes. 117 



Coenonympha typhon. — Very abundant. 



Nemeophila russula.— Very common ; I took a nice series of females. 



Odonestis potatoria. — Fairly common. 



Cymatophora or. — We took two or three regularly each evening at treacle 



C. fluctuosa. — One very worn specimen obtained by beating. 



Bomolocha fontis. — Very common in th e woods. 



Hypenodes costaestrigalis. — One taken flying at dusk on June 27th. 



Zonosoma pendularia. — One beaten out of a birch bush. 



Venusia cambrica. — Several taken in the woods near Pontoon. 



Acidalia immutata. — One only. 1 spent some time hunting for others 



but was unsuccessful. 

 Emmelesia taeniata. — We secured two specimens and saw several others, 



but owing to the thick undergrowth of the wood in which they were 



they managed to escape. 

 Eupithecia debiliata. — A few specimens were captured in the woods. 

 Melanippe hastata. — A few only were taken. 

 Eucosmia undulata. — Fairly abundant in the woods around Pontoon 



and near Foxford. 

 Cidaria fulvata. — One or two taken near Pontoon. 



Tortrix podana. — I took one on an island on Lough Conn on June i8th. 

 T. viridana. — One on the same island and at the same time. 



On visiting Pontoon again in June, 1916, I obtained 

 another Cymatophera fluctuosa, a freshly emerged specimen, 

 also a series of Acvonycta leporina at treacle. This 

 time I found Melanippe hastata abundant, and took 

 two varieties, the black markings on all the wings of one 

 specimen being much suffused, and in the other the hind 

 wings differing from each other in the extent of the black 

 scaling. I also captured Drepana falcula by beating ; a 

 species I had already obtained a few days before in Co. 

 Tyrone. 



In June, 1915, I came across in Tempo demesne five 

 newty emerged specimens of the yellow variety of Eiichelia 

 jacobaeae in which the crimson on all the wings was replaced 

 by yellow. 



I obtained at Lough Gill in Co. Sligo in July of 191 5 

 Schoenobius mucronellus, a moth 1 had taken on Lough 

 Erne and also at Tempo some years previously. 



Also through the kindness of the late Mr. J. E. R. Allen 

 I was able to obtain a series of Laventia flavicinciata and 

 Phibalapicryx lapidata, both of which species Mr. Allen 

 had lately discovered in the Fermanagh mountains. 



Tempo Manor, Co Fermanagh.
