A CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF IRELAND. 41 



SATUEXIIIXE. 



Saturnia pavonia, L. — Distributed throughout Ireland, and 

 often pretty common. I have taken it in Donegal, Antrim, 

 Tyrone, Monaghan, Fermanagh, Westmeath, King's Co., Tippe- 

 rary, Dublin, Wicklow, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Galway, 

 Koscommou, and Siigo. The Rev. James Bristow has a 

 remarkable specimen, whose fore wings are of the female 

 pattern, and the hind wings male. 



DREPANULID^. 



Drepana lacertinaria, L.— Occurs in almost every locality 

 that I have had the opportunity of examining ; and is common 

 occasionally. Buncrana, Co. Donegal, pretty numerous (C.) ; 

 L. Gill and Markree Castle, Co. Sligo ; Clonbrock, abundant 

 (R. E. D.), and Ardrahan, one, Mr. Harker, Co. Galway ; Holly- 

 brook, L. Arrow {Miss ff.), Co. Roscommon ; Mohill, Co. Leitrim ; 

 Enniscoe, Co. Mayo, abundant ; Altadiawan and Favour Royal, 

 Tyrone ; Cromlyn {Mrs. B.) and Killynon {Miss R.), Westmeath ; 

 Glendalough, Co. Wicklow ; Kenmare and Killarney, Co. 

 Kerry, &c. 



Drepana falcula. — Enniscoe, Co. Mayo; Favour Royal, 

 Tyrone; Clonbrock, Co. Galway {R. E. D.). This seems a rare 

 insect in Ireland, only four specimens having yet been recorded. 

 Mr. Birchall gives Co. Kerry as a locality. 



CiLix glaucata. Scop. — Widely spread, but not generally at 

 all numerous. Howth, one {M. F.), and at Drumcondra, Co. 

 Dublin; Greystones, Co. Wicklow; Favour Royal, Tyrone; 

 Armagh (J".); Clonbrock, not frequent {R.E.D.), and Galway 

 {A.); Killynon {Miss R.), Westmeath; Banagher, King's Co. 



DICRANURID.E. 



DicRANURA FURCULA, L. — Not by any means often met with 

 in Ireland ; but Stephens (under the synonym biciisjns) records 

 that it is not very uncommon near Dublin, according to his 

 correspondent Rev. J. Bulwer. Mr. Dillon having reported it 

 very abundant at Clonbrock, Co. Galway, I beat for the larvae, 

 and found them very plentiful. Examples have been taken at 

 Cromlyn {Mrs. B.), Westmeath, Farnham, Co. Cavan; near 

 Stranorlar, Co. Donegal; Enniscoe, Co. Mayo; and Derry (C). 



DicRANURA BIFIDA, Hb. — Apparently rarer than the preceding. 

 I have taken it at Markree Castle, Co. Sligo ; one near Derry {€.]. 



DicRANURA viNULA, L. — Everywhere common. I have taken 

 it in the extreme north of Co. Donegal ; and Mr. Wm. Hart on 

 Malin Head. 



Stauropus fagi, L. — One example only as yet taken in
