Black ; 3 basal joints of maxillary palpi and underside of antennae ferru-

 •with a black stripe, furcate above the antenna?, leaving a yellow V in front 

 of the ocelli ; 2 hooked marks in front of the thorax, scapulars and a round

 verse line of 6 dots on the postscutel, yellow; first 3 segments of abdomen 

 broadly banded with yellow, the others with a small spot ; legs orange ; 

 coxae black, 4 anterior yellow outside ; apex of postei-ior tibiae and their

As I cannot consider this a variety I have named it after 

 my esteemed friend Dr. Farran of Dublin, who was of our 

 party in Connemara the end of last July, when I found a spe- 

 cimen flying about the plant figured, on the sand -hills near 

 Roundstone. I have also received a female from Kinnordy, 

 where it was taken by Mr. Lyell.
