A CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF IRELAND. 213 



AciDALiA FUMATA, St. — Said by Birchall to be widely distri- 

 buted. I have rarely taken it, but may have overlooked it. 

 Killarney and Caragh L. Kerry ; Framore, Co. Waterford ; and 

 Clonbrock, Co. Galway. 



AciDALiA iMiTARiA, Hb. — Cork and Kerry (B.) ; Tinahely, Co. 

 Wicklow, not rare [Bw.) ; Portmarnock, Co. Dublin (Loiv). 



AciDALiA AVERSATA, Tib. — Botli the pale and ochreous forms 

 are widely distributed and abundant. The var. spoliata seems 

 rare. 



AciDALiA iNORNATA, IIciw. — Karo. Kingstown {B.) ; Derry 

 (C); and Birchall and myself both have captured it at Killarney. 



TiMANDRA AMATARiA, L. — Galway {B.), Clonbrock, a few 

 {R. E. D.) ; Kerry {B.). 



Cabera pusaria, L. — Extremely common. 



Cabera rotundaria. Haw. — Whether this is a true species or 

 not has been questioned. The late Stephen Pi. Fetherston-H. 

 bred two very striking examples from larvae taken by him at 

 Glenmore, Crossmolina, Co. Mayo. They are now in the 

 Museum of Science and Art, Dublin. 



Cabera exanthemata, Scop. — Very abundant everywhere. I 

 have a curious form from Co. Tyrone in which the first and 

 second line approximate just below the costa on both fore and 

 hind wings, with a shaded patch at the junction. 



Bapta temerata, Hb. — A local insect, though its food-plant 

 is widely spread through Ireland. Abundant in many parts of 

 Galway, such as Clonbrock and Merlin Park ; also at Ardrahan. 

 At Mucross, Killarney ; Powerscourt, Wicklow, a few. 



Bapta bimaculata, Fb. — Several stated to have been taken at 

 Clonbrock by the Hon. R. E. Dillon. It was recorded in error, 

 I believe, by Birchall from Killarney, as also Macaria notata, 

 of whose occurrence I have been able to get no Irish records 

 whatever. 



Macaria liturata, Clerck. — Widely distributed. Near Dublin ; 

 Bray, Powerscourt, and Greystones, Co. Wicklow ; near Milepost, 

 Kilkenny (Wyse); Cappagh, Co. Waterford ; Ballyvourney, and 

 Macroom, Co. Cork; Kenmare and Killarney abundant, Kerry; 

 Mote Park, Roscommon ; Clonbrock, Dalyston {B. E. D.}, and 

 elsewhere in Co. Galway; Rathowen (Ciirzon), and Killynon, 

 Co. Westmeath ; Agher, Co. Meath {Miss B.) ; Newcastle, Co. 

 Down (Bw.). 



Halia vauaria, L. — Curiously enough, though existing in 

 Ireland, it is extremely scarce. Single specimens for the most 

 part have been taken at Powerscourt, Co. Wicklow; Howth, a
