Two specimens were on ivy near the town of Galway. — A. litura. 

 Three specimens near Galway at ivy ; one at rest on a black- 

 thorn tree. 



Opo)-ina croceario. One larva was picked up on a road under an 

 oak tree, 1889. I have no record as to the date of its emergence, as 

 I confounded it with Xanthia citrago, owing to the poor description in 

 my book,

 — X. aurago. One specimen, August, 1892, at sugar, identified by 

 Mr. Kane from a sketch in my diary.
