[*D. phryganella Hb. — The occurrence of this allied though much rarer 

 species at Portmarnock, county Dublin, is worth recording here. 

 A single specimen was beaten from a willow tree at the pond on Mr. 

 Trumbull's fields in the early part of October, 191 7, by Mr. F. H. 

 Walker, who has kindly presented the specimen to the Irish National 

 Museum. The only previous Irish record is Belfast, where it was 

 taken by Mr. C. W. Watts some years ago. The larva lives between

 during October and November ; according to Mr. Meyrick it is 

 common in England ranging as far north as Westmoreland.]
