A CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF IRELAND. 



By W. F. de Vismes Kane, M.A., M.R.I.A., F.E.S. 



(Continued from p. 212.) 



LEUCANIID.E. 



Leucania conigera, Fb. — Yery widely distributed and nu- 

 merous, but in my experience rather local. At Howth and 

 Sligo, as well as the paler type, a more richly coloured form 

 occurs, — var. sufasa, Tutt. 



Leucania lithargyria, Esp. — Everywhere abundant. The 

 varieties ixdlida, Tutt, and forrago, Fab., occasionally occur. I 

 have specimens of both from Lambay I., Co. Dublin. 



Leucania extranea, Gn. — There is a damaged specimen of 

 this rare insect in the collection of the Hon. R. E. Dillon, which 

 he assures me was taken at Clonbrock, Co. Galway, on sugar, 

 between the 20th and 25th July, 1891. 



'Leucania ohsoleta was inserted in Mr. Birchall's list in error.] 



Leucania littoralis, Curt. — Very locally distributed round 

 the Irish coast. Magilligan, rather abundant, Co. Derry (C.) ; 

 Castlerock, Co. Antrim, (Bw.) ; Dollymount, near Dublin ; Ark- 

 low and Courtown Harbour, Co. Wicklow (Biu.) ; near Glandore, 

 Co. Cork (D.) ; Waterville, Co. Kerry, ab. The Irish specimens 

 I have seen are but lightly shaded about the white central streak. 



Leucania bipudens, Hb. — "Abundant at Killarney " (B.). 

 Mr. W. Salvage informs me that he has taken it freely at 

 Mucross. One taken, in 1887, at Clonbrock, of a warm rufous 

 tinge {R.E.D.). 



Leucania comma, L. — Widely distributed, but I have never 

 found it in any abundance in Ireland. Mr. Watts found it fairly 

 common at Belfast. Our specimens are decidedly of a pale 

 type, with the black lines not strongly marked. They often
