A specimen of this conspicuous and pretty species was 

 taken near Killarney, last July, by Mr. Bouchard, in an 

 extensive birch wood. The specimen is in Mr. Waring's 

 collection. 



On the Continent the perfect insect appears in May and 

 June, and the larva (figured by Freyer, N. B. iii. PI. 212), 

 feeds on birch in July.
