52 The Irish Naturalist. February, 



Corylophus cassldloides, Marsh. — Taken rather commonly by 

 sweeping rushes in damp places. 



Ollbrus aeneus, F. — Abundant on Matricaria. 



IYleligethes eryth:opus, Gyll. — Rare. 



Typhaea fumata, L. — Abundant under bark of felled stumps in castle 

 grounds. 



Cetonla aurata, L. — First taken on Lambay by Mr. H. B. Jones, as 

 recorded in B/itish Naturalist (vol. i., 1891, p. 159); and rediscovered 

 by Mrs. Baring, who captured a specimen on the top of Tinian 

 Hill. The Rose Beetle is curiously frequent in its occurrence in 

 island faunas. It is abundant on Inishmore in Galway Bay, and 

 Wollaston found it on Lundy Island. The only recorded locality in 

 the province of Lei nster is Howth. 



Crammoptera ruficornis, F. — A very common species on the main- 

 land, but notable as the only '•longhorn " found on the island. 



Chsetocnema hortensis, Fourc. — Frequent. 

 • Cryptlcus quisquilius, L. — Under stones on the shore. 



Lagria hlrta, Iv. — Locally common on the landward side of the island. 



Aplon stolidum, Germ. — A few specimens found by sweeping plants. 



The only recorded Irish locality is Laytown, on the adjoining coast. 



^ Both of these species are common, 

 Otiorrhynchus Iigneus, 01.-. especially uuder large tufts of 



O. rugifrons, Gyll— J SUeue Qn the coast> 



O. auropunctatus, Gyll. — One specimen found on Iris, and another 

 on bramble on the steep banks facing Carnoon Bay. It is well 

 known to occur in various places along our east coast from Wicklow 

 to Down, with an outlying locality near Derry, but it has not so 

 far been discovered in the south or west of Ireland. An interesting 

 account of this species will be found in the Irish Naturalist for 1895 

 (vol. iv , p. 213). 



Trachyphloeus scaber, L. — One example taken on the eastern cliffs. 

 This is the second record of this local insect for the Province of 

 Leinster.

Ceuthorrhynchus rugulosus, Herbst— Occurs on Matricaria on the 

 coast, near the Coast-guard Station. 



Rhopalomesites Tardyi, Curt Abundant in the Ash and Sycamore 



trees round the castle, and under bark of felled stumps. Its borings 

 were very noticeable in places where the trees had been injured and 

 the bark partially removed. 



Caulotrypis eeneoplceus, Boh. — Infests the Elders growing in 

 Calico Hole some of the trees being badly riddled by its borings.
