264 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Clonbrock, Co. Galway, Howth, Favour Eoyal, Co. Tyrone, and 

 near Cavan. With it the var. cethiops and the greyish brown 

 type also occur. The var. brunnea of Tutt is rare ; I have seen 

 specimens in the North and West, and in Co. Louth. The vars. 

 cethiops and iufuscata are widely spread over most parts of 

 Ireland, with the type. The localities below refer to both, there 

 being no distinctive character notable, except the comparative 

 depth of colours. Common at Eenvyle, Connemara; and Lambay 

 I. near Howth ; and not rare at Favour Koyal, Co. Tyrone, and 

 Castlebellingham, Co. Louth. Also at Derry (C.) ; Toberdaly 

 and Banagher, King's Co. ; Killynon, Westmeath ; Magilligan, 

 Co. Derry ; Armagh (J.) ; Sligo and Markree Castle, occasional ; 

 and similarly throughout Cork and Kerry generally. The 

 suffused brown form var. ohscura, Tutt, is also widely distributed, 

 and appears to be a local form on some of the rock islands off 

 the Kerry coast. 



Xylophasia hepatica, L., var. characterea, Hb. — Very local, 

 and not numerous. The few Irish specimens taken up to the 

 present seem referable exclusively to the rich liver-coloured 

 mottled form. Powerscourt, Co. Wicklow (Greene) ; Kingstown, 

 Co. Dublin, one specimen [S. B. F.) ; Farnham, Cavan ; Favour 

 Eoyal and Altadiawan, Co. Tyrone; and Eoche's Point, Co. Cork. 



Dipterygia soabriuscula, L. — One at Clonbrock, Hon. E. 

 Dillon. 



Cloantha polyodon, Clerck. — One at sugar, July, 1891, at 

 Clonbrock, Co. Galway, by Hon. E. Dillon (Entom. xxvii. 170). 



Aporophyla australis, Bdv. — Coast of Wicklow, and Water- 

 ford (Entom., 1872, p. 140). Sand-hills off Wexford Harbour, 

 not scarce. Those I have taken at the latter locality are some- 

 what strongly marked with black. 



Neuria reticulata, Vill. — Local and scarce. One at Kings- 

 town many years ago [Greene) ; one at Glandore (Z>.) ; three at 

 Eoche's Point, Co. Cork. 



Neuronia popularis, Fb. — Generally distributed, and in some 

 localities very abundant, as at Clonbrock, and on the Wicklow 

 coast. 



Char^as graminis, L. — Universally common. Of the various 

 aberrations described by Mr. Tutt, most occur sporadically 

 throughout Ireland, including var. hibernicus, Curt,, which, 

 however, I have never seen. The most varied series I have met 

 with was taken on the shores of L. Swilly, Co. Donegal, by my 

 friend Geo. V. Hart, LL.D.
