88 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



came quite as a surprise when the insect was discovered to be 

 an ash feeder ! This makes it very probable that Z. phillyrella 

 had only hidden itself among heather, and had fed on something 

 quite different." From indications obligingly given me by Canon 

 Cruttwell, I think that the spot in which he captured it will be 

 found by turning to the right out of the Eenvyle gate, and 

 following the road bordered by the plantation to nearly the end 

 of the trees. Here there are ash growing ; and as Phillyrea 

 belongs to the natural order of Oleacefe (olive worts), as also ash, 

 privet, and lilac, it seems likely that further research will 

 establish Mr. Barrett's suggestion as correct, and that the phe- 

 nomenal occurrence of this rarity in the extreme wilds of Conne- 

 mara will be satisfactorily explained. I have to thank Can(m 

 Cruttwell and Mr. Barrett for their very obliging letters and 

 information. 



ADDENDA. 



The following information has just come to hand from 

 J. E. Ft. Allen, Esq., of Portora, Enniskillen : — 



LiTHosiA DEPLANA, Esp. — One taken at Killarney, identified 

 by Mr. Prout. 



Triph^na orbona, Hufn. {subsequa, Hb.) — One at Lisbellaw, 

 which I have examined. 



Tethea subtusa, Fb. — Eecorded already from near Ennis- 

 killen. Mr. Allen informs me that it is frequent in the various 

 islands of lower Lake Erne. 



EucLiDiA GLYPHicA, L. — Common about Enniskillen. 



EuRYMENE DOLOBRARiA, L. — One at Enniskillen. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF PHYLLO- 

 MORPHIN^ (HETEROPTERA : Fam. COREID^E). 



By W. L. Distant. 



The Phyllomorphinse constitute a small subfamily of the 

 Coreidse, of which at present only three genera and some thirteen 

 species are known to entomologists. They are in structure the 

 most aberrant forms of all Coreids, and their phylogeny is quite 

 unworked. Three species are recognized in the western Palae- 

 arctic region, and are located in the true genus Fhyllomorpha. 

 The two other genera, Pephricus and Craspedum, are almost 

 entirely Ethiopian in distribution. Westwood described and 

 figured an Indian species. We have evidently, at present, a 

 very slight knowledge of the Phyliomorphiuse.
