HYPENA BAMNOSALIS. 15 



[OcNERiA DisPAR, L. — Mr. Bircliall turned out large numbers 

 f the larvae among Myrica gale on the Killarney bogs. I also 

 id the same on the hawthorns of Col. Cooper's deer-park at 

 larkree Castle, Co. Sligo, which seemed to thrive. No sub- 

 equent records of the experiments are available.] 



Dasychira fascelina, L. — Three larvae were taken by me on 

 leather in the Bog of Allen near Toberdaly, King's Co., in 1891. 

 lH three were stung, but I preserved them for reference. 



Dasychira pudibunda, L. — This seems to be confined to the 

 outhern half of Ireland. It is common in parts of the Co. 

 iralway, at Ardrahan {Miss N.), and Cloubrock, a few {R. E. D.), 

 lid a larva at Galway (A.) ; Glandore, abundant (D.). I have 

 aken the larvc'e near Kenmare, Co. Kerry, where Miss Vernon 

 3und it not infrequent, and near Cappagli and Lismore, Co. 

 Vaterford ; Mallow (Bw) and Brandon, Co. Cork (L.) ; Co. 

 Vicklow, Tiuahely, not rare (Bw.), and Glendalough (K.). 



Orgyia antiqua, L. — This insect never appears to be so 

 bundant in Irish localities as it is in England. I have seen it 

 ,t Rathmines and Kingstown near Dublin, and in sparse numbers 

 t occurs in widely separated localities. Killynon {Miss IL) and 

 jromlyn {Mrs. B.), Westmeath ; New Ross {B.-H.), Co. Water- 

 3rd; Killarney (A'.). At Clonbrock it is very numerous; and in 

 he Belfast district it is generally distributed, but not common

 Qsect (-B.).

HYPENA BAMNOSALIS, Wlk. 

 By John B. Smith. 



In the 'Entomologist' for November, 1893, p. 311, Mr. 

 Butler, in an extremely courteous way, calls attention to a 

 lupposed mistake of mine hi re the above species. Mr. Butler is 

 jood enough to make excuses for me, suggesting that I was 

 lurried, and also confused by the " Walkerian arrangement, 

 itill more confounded by subsequent accessions," and for his 

 iindness I thank him.
